Exercises & Solutions

Selecting an Exercise​

By default, Package 1 is loaded with 20 exercises once the program is started. To explore them:

  • Navigation: Click on any item in the left-hand list to load its details.
  • Tooltips: Hover your mouse over an exercise name to reveal a pop-up label containing a detailed description and the difficulty level.
  • Platform Selection: In the upper right corner, select your preferred environment (EasyPLC, TIA Portal, or Studio 5000). The notes and instructions will update specifically for that platform.

Execution Workflow (EasyPLC)​

If you are using the EasyPLC, follow these steps to develop and test your logic:

  1. Start Programming: Click the Create EasyPLC Program button. This will automatically launch the EasyPLC Editor.
  2. Compilation: Once your logic is finished, click the Compile & Send Project icon in the EasyPLC toolbar.
  3. Virtual PLC: The program will transfer the logic to the Virtual PLC. If prompted to launch the Virtual PLC, select YES.
  4. Simulation: Once the Virtual PLC is running, click the Launch MS3 Simulation button to open Machines Simulator and verify your program's behavior in the 3D environment.

Consulting the Proposed Solution​

If you get stuck or want to compare your logic with a professional reference, use the Solution feature:

  • Access: Click the Solution button (note that this may require a password if configured in Advanced Settings).
  • Content: Each solution includes:
    • A detailed explanation of the logic.
    • A list of all Variables and Data Blocks used.
    • Screenshots or diagrams of the code that solves the problem.
  • Platform Specifics: Remember that the solution shown will correspond to the platform (EasyPLC, Siemens, or Rockwell) selected in the main window.
