-In the **Left panel**, you can see expanded tree for PLC, showing ​a list of configured communication channels (1-Wire, Modbus) and connected devices. In the **Executable Projects** you will have all your programs and function libraries.

-In the **Main window**, you can see a [[en:​automation:​02-glossary:​08-iec61131-3#structured_text_fbd|FBD]] program ​under the debugging mode. The left column of the programming ​canvas ​contains **inputs** of the program. In the middle section, you can place function blocks (FBs), which enclose a certain functionality. The right column contains outputs of the program. As stated above, the program is in the debugging mode, which allows us to check the current values of inputs, outputs and variables in the PLC. Those values are shown in small grey boxes right next to the output. The debugging mode also allows you to chart the actual values, as you can see in the section under the **Main window**.+In the **Main window**, you can see a [[en:​automation:​02-glossary:​iec61131-3-hidden#functional_block_diagram_fbd|FBD]] program ​while in the debugging mode.

The right column contains outputs of the program. As stated above, the program is in the debugging mode, which allows us to check the current values of inputs, outputs and variables in the unit as well as override their values. Those values are shown in small grey boxes right next to the input/output. The debugging mode also allows you to chart the actual values, as you can see in the section under the **Main window**.
