Chapter 2 Editor 2.4 Entering/Deleting Symbols and Connection Lines This section describes how to enter/delete symbols and connection lines to/from a ladder diagram. 2.4.1 Entering symbols A ladder symbol is automatically entered when an instruction word is specified. An instruction word can be entered using either of the following two methods. In the first method, you can select the desired instruction word type and the desired instruction word code from the "Enter Instruction Word" window.
PAGE 62
Chapter 2 Editor Entering symbols by selection Edit ➔ Symbol Input ➔ Symbol Selective Input (Tab) When the desired instruction word type is selected on the "Enter Instruction Word" window, instruction codes available for the selected instruction word can be selected from the list. As well, a device can be specified for each operand.
PAGE 63
Chapter 2 Editor 1. Select the desired instruction word type from "Instruction Type" located in the right portion of the window. Click the desired radio button. 2. Select the desired instruction word from the "Instruction Word" list. When selecting an instruction word to be executed only once at the ON signal, click the "Execute Once at ON" check box to add the check mark, and then select the desired instruction word.
PAGE 64
Chapter 2 Editor 3. Specify a device for each operand. Click the button to display the device type list. Select the desired device type from this list, and enter the corresponding number directly. 2 4. When setup is complete, click the [OK] or [Insert] button. [OK] : Overwrites a ladder symbol. [Insert] : Inserts a ladder symbol in the cursor position. [Cancel] : Cancels the setting entered, and closes the window. 5. The selected ladder symbol is entered.
PAGE 65
Chapter 2 Editor Entering symbols directly Edit ➔ Symbol Input ➔ Symbol Direct Input (Enter) Instruction words can also be directly entered. When you are familiar with creation of ladder programs and handling of instruction words, direct input is recommended because it is quicker and more efficient than input through the "Enter Instruction Word" window.

Appendices Appendix H Notes for Programming This appendix describes important points and precautions for creating ladder programs. H-1 Circuits that must be modified • The circuit shown on the left cannot be programmed. Modify it as shown on the right. A 0500 B C E B E D 0500 A E A A D Appendices C 1 • Output is disabled in 0500 in the circuit shown on the left. By modifying it as shown on the right, output of one scan only is disabled.
PAGE 226
Appendices H-2 Precautions for programming • A coil output or timer/counter cannot be connected directly from a bus. When an output coil or a timer/counter is required, insert a b contact of an unused internal utility relay, a b contact of an unused special utility relay, or a special utility relay 2002 (always ON) as a dummy. 0500 0500 2002 #0010 T000 #0010 T000 • A contact cannot be connected to an output line.

Appendices H-3 Programs which cannot be decompiled When a return is included in parallel connection in a ladder program, a decompilation (reverse compilation) error is generated as shown in Fig. a below. To prevent this, change the ladder diagram to eliminate the return, or separate the parallel connection.
