Before Creating Programs
This section describes what you should know before creating programs and opera-
tions for the Visual KV Series.
1.1.1
Flow from Introduction to Operation
This section describes an overview of program creation procedures, functions used,
and setting items.
In the example described below, a latch circuit is created as a program for the Visual
KV Series.
Introduction
Examining contents of operations
Figure 1 shows a latch circuit which operates as follows.
Pushbutton switch PB1: ON
Pushbutton switch PB2: OFF
➞Pilot lamp (PL) turns on.
Pushbutton switch PB1: OFF
Pushbutton switch PB2: OFF
➞Pilot lamp (PL) remains
lit even if PB1 turns
OFF.
Pushbutton switch PB1: OFF
Pushbutton switch PB2: ON
➞Pilot lamp (PL) goes out
when PB2 is set to ON.

Next, a program is created that will use the same operation as this circuit to control a PLC.

Program examination
Circuit 1 shows relay symbols for the latch circuit.
Examine which contact in the Visual KV Series is used for each pushbutton switch and pilot lamp
(Table 1). When many I/O devices are required for control, expansion units should also be considered.

Transferring and confirming the program
Transfer the created program to the Visual KV Series, perform a test run, and then confirm operations
with the actual devices.
