Documenting Ladder Programs

Before or after you enter the rungs of logic in your ladder program, you have the

option of documenting the rungs, addresses, instruction, or symbols (online and

offline). This allows someone else who may be maintaining the program to

understand it. Y

ou can also use symbols instead of addresses for ease of

programming your ladder logic.

This chapter explains how to document your ladder program using:

• rung comments

• instruction comments

•

address comments

• symbols

This chapter also discusses how to edit your comments and symbols using the

database editor and how to determine the display format used when monitoring the

program.
