1. Open Automation Studios and connect your CPU, then we must go to Tools and then
Options. Go to the tab SmartEdit and make sure to select the box that reads
Automatically declare new variables.

2. We are able to then add the LD Program and then go to the Cyclic.ld portion of the
program.

3. Create the system that is shown.

4. Then we have to add a new object that is the VC4 Visualization. We have to change the
resolution to 800x480(WVGA). And then click Next, click Next again, and then click Finish.
5. We then go into the Configuration for the CPU and change the VC object name to the Visu that
we just created.
6. We go back to the Logical View and double-click on the Visu, which will open the visualization
and allow us to create the HMI.

7. From this point, we will expand the Pages tab, and double-click the Init_Page tab, which opens
up the HMI designer.
8. Drag over 4 Buttons which can be found in the Tools tab on the bottom left of the screen. These
are for our visual inputs. Then add a Numeric to be used to input the velocity.

9. We have to then edit the names and variable declaration for the buttons. We have to expand
the text tab and change the text source to SingleText, then name the button under the Text
English tab. We then change the Action Type to MomentaryDatapoint, and select the input that
we are creating from the program selection as shown above.
10. Then declare all your remaining variables in the X2a and X3a tabs.

11. Build and then transfer the simulation.

These last two images show the results of the testing of the simulation.
