4.1 Objective of the ApplicationTemplate
The ApplicationTemplate...
• ...helps to implement the mechatronic structure of an automation system (which is available as
a tree structure) in a modular manner.
• ...enables the integration of predefined machine modules with prepared applications (for
instance a cross cutter).
• ...simplifies and speeds up the creation of PLC programs in the long term by re-use of a
standardised and modularised folder structure.
What are the advantages of the ApplicationTemplate?
The ApplicationTemplate facilitates programming with the »PLC Designer« ...
• ...by a predefined folder structure which "cleans up" and which can be extended individually.
• ...renders the navigation for extending or creating machine programming easier.
• The ApplicationTemplate contains ready-made, re-usable machine modules and module
applications which minimise the risk of compilation errors in order to thus reduce time and
costs.
