How is the program generated? How does it get to the PLC memory?
The PLC program is generated with the TIA Portal on a PC and stored there temporarily.
After the PC is connected to the TCP/IP interface of the PLC, the program can then be downloaded to
the PLC’s memory with a load function.
The PC is now no longer needed for further program processing in the PLC.
