To conclude, the HMI application can be tested.
It is now possible to create and start ladder diagram programs using widget "LadderEditor".
Adding contacts and coils
For information about how to program in the ladder diagram editor, see section Programming in widget "LadderEditor".
The objective is to also have variable "Input" set to TRUE if variable "Output" in program "Data" is set to TRUE.
To do this, a contact is pulled into the editor using drag-and-drop. A dialog box opens automatically where condition "Conditon_Input" can be selected. A normally open contact is selected (" ").
A coil is then pulled into the editor using drag-and-drop. Action "Action_Output" is selected in the dialog box.

Loading and starting the program
The program can now be loaded via the title bar. A dialog box opens to select the previously created program.

Testing the program
If the program was started via the title bar, it can now be tested. To do so, Powerflow is enabled with button "Activate Powerflow".
Pressing button "Input" makes it clear that the program is working as expected.
