WSCAD51 Getting Started - FTP Directory Listing

Getting Started
Position the cursor over the cross-reference text and click with the right mouse button:
The cross-reference navigator immediately loads the correct page of your drawing and
positions the cursor near to the corresponding contact.
Click with the right mouse button on the cross-reference text at the left side of the
contact, and the navigator brings you back to the page with the coil.

The cross-reference navigator also works with line related crossreferences.
PLC Manager
General
In the Professional version the individual Bits of the inputs and outputs of PLC modules
can be loaded on different pages of the circuit diagram (page 2 of this practice
example). The individual PLC inputs and outputs are collated into a central overview
table, with cross-references and PLC comment texts (page 3 of this practice example).
This allows very flexible design and display, not only during the design stage but also in
subsequent modifications to the equipment.
Hint
WSCAD offers two different ways of to load PLC symbols.
First you load the PLC main module
One of the main advantages of the PLC manager is the clear representation of all PLC
channels. To demonstrate this, go to page 3 of your practice example (via 'File – page
up/dn' or simply by pressing the button).
First, load the drawing macro 'PLC-CPU315-2DP.0000' - 'File – Insert drawing
macro' and position it at 52.5 / 185.0 mm. This pre-prepared macro contains the
supply connections for the PLC main modules.
Next, activate the Favourites library 'EXAMPLE' then load the symbol 'Digital Input
SM 321-1BH00 16x24V DC' command 'Schematic – Load symbol ...' on the
coordinates 132.5 / 147.5 mm. The database selection appears. Select the module
'Digital Input SM 321-1BH00 16x24V DC’. In the following menu 'Component
Parameters' enter the function text '!Motor control'. Note the preceding '!', which
makes the text invisible, and place the text anywhere you wish. Exit the Symbol Explorer
with 'Exit'.
Now set the individual (PLC) inputs and outputs
Go back to Page 2 in order to position the individual inputs and outputs.
Load the symbol 'Digital Input'. Position it with a double click (or )
exactly over the coil 'Feed forward' on the coordinates 165.0 / 170.0 mm and you will
get the 'PLC selection' dialog with all available PLC main modules of the PLC manager.
Select the card '!Motor Control' and you see all channels of this unit.
