Start Point: Status Display

When you power up the unit, it opens the status display immediately
to show the state of the inputs and outputs. It also indicates whether
Pico is already running a program.

Press Ok to switch to the main menu. If there is an expansion module
installed, the expansion module status screen is displayed. Press Ok
again to switch to the main menu.

You can then press Ok to move forward to the next menu level or Esc
to go back one level. Ok has two other functions:

• Press Ok to save modified settings.
• Press Ok to insert and modify contacts and relay coils. In this

case, Pico must be in Stop mode.

Press Ok two times (3 times with an expansion module installed) to
enter the circuit diagram display from the status display(s). This is
where you create the circuit diagram.

Circuit Diagram Display

.The circuit diagram display is currently empty. The cursor is flashing
at the top left, which is where you start to create your program

Move the cursor, using the cursor buttons, across the hidden grid lines

The first three double columns are contact fields and the right-hand
triple column forms the coil field. Each line is a circuit connection.
Pico adds the first contact automatically.

Now try to program the following Pico circuit diagram.

Switches S1 and S2 are wired to inputs I1 and I2. Relay K1 is
represented by the relay coil {Q1. The symbol “{” identifies the coil's
function, in this case a relay coil acting as a contactor. Q1 is one of up
to six Pico output relays.
