# Creating a New SoftPLC Project

1. Create a new SoftPLC Signal Configuration.

2. Assign the SoftPLC Signal Configuration to the virtual station.

3. Select SoftPLC ON in General SoftPLC Settings.

4. Select Create New and the Multiprog opens automatically to a new SoftPLC project.

   This project will use the basic template and this template includes all functions available in Multiprog.

   The created and edited project is continuously saved to the local disc when the project is built and stored in Documents > Mp Temp. At the ToolsTalk 2 SoftPLC startup, when OPEN is selected, the stored data project is uploaded and used if the SoftPLC project has not been saved to the ToolsTalk 2 server.

5. Edit the SoftPLC program in Multiprog and give the project a Name and Description in ToolsTalk 2.

   Add virtual station mappings with I/O signal configurations by selecting Update in the Project Virtual Stations field.

   Add Fieldbus data by selecting Update in the SoftPLC framesize in fieldbus field.

   The fieldbus frame size must be configured to contain a special SoftPLC input/output part to be able to send and receive fieldbus data directly to/from the SoftPLC.

6. Select Save to check in the edited project to the ToolsTalk 2 server.

7. Push the changes to the controller.
