Documentation

The system status will be displayed at the debugging which can be started after the project has been uploaded to the PLC. Click the "Start debugging" button in the ribbon.

There is a prompt which PLC has to be debugged (or, connected to). This is to select a PLC in a network (Solution) where more PLCs are defined. The system status is displayed in the "Task status" tab which will be opened automatically or in the View - Task status menu.

The "Start debugging" button starts debugging immediately if there is only a single PLC in the Solution. If there are more PLCs, a prompt opens, and more PLCs or just a selected PLC can be debugged at the same time.
