Exercise project - GettingStarted_3.20

Within the scope of this tutorial a complete small example will be developed interactively. The end result was already installed as own, already configured project GettingStarted_3.20 (see also sectionJob definition -exercise project). This allows the user to verify that settings and program parts are correct and adopt these settings or program parts.

If you adapted the presettings for the installation paths of these both projects, you can find the corresponding directories on your computer:

C:/WinCC_OA_Proj/DemoApplication_ 3.20

C:/WinCC_OA_Proj/GettingStarted_ 3.20

In WinCC OA such directories are also called project directories (proj_path). No matter where the projects were installed, they are already (registered) added to the project administration and the console and can be easily selected or used.
