Introduction

This chapter includes a program tutorial for an easier start with the DDS.

The setup calls for the programming of a mini traffic control system for two traffic lights at an
intersection.

Both traffic lights will alternate their red/green phases.

To avoid accidents, the traffic lights will also include amber and amber/red between the red
and green phases, with the amber/red phase being shorter than the amber phase.

This example illustrates

how to implement time-controlled programs using IEC 61131-3 language tools.

how to edit the various standard languages using the DDS.

how to link the different languages.

how to simulate a program in the DDS and visualize it on screen.
