92 Select Programming Software
Context menus for common software tools are quickly accessible by clicking the right
mouse button on addresses, symbols, instructions, rungs, or other application objects.
This convenience provides you with all the necessary functionality to accomplish a task
within a single menu. This is a time-saving feature because you don’t have to remember
the placement of functionality options in the menu bar.
Point-and-Click I/O Configuration
The easy-to-use I/O Configurator lets you click or drag-and-drop a module from an
all-inclusive list to assign it to a slot in your configuration. Advanced configuration,
required for specialty and analog modules, is easily accessible. Convenient forms speed
entry of configuration data. An I/O auto configuration feature is also available.
Powerful Database Editor
Use the Symbol Group Editor to build and classify groups of symbols so that you can
easily select portions of your recorded documentation for use across multiple projects.
The Symbol Picker list allows you to assign addresses or symbols to your ladder logic
instructions simply by clicking on them.
Export your database to Comma-Separated-Value (CSV) format to use or manipulate the
data in your favorite spreadsheet program. When finished, simply import the CSV file
into RSLogix 500.
Diagnostics and Troubleshooting Tools
Quickly locate the specific area in the application that is causing a problem with
Advanced Diagnostics. Diagnose the interaction of output instructions within a section
of your program by viewing them at the same time.
Simultaneously examine the status of bits, timers, counters, inputs and outputs all in one
window with the Custom Data Monitor. Each application project you create can have its
own Custom Data Monitor window.
Use the tabbed Status displays to easily review status bit settings specific to your
application programming, including Scan Time and Math Register information,
Interrupt settings, and more.
Assistance on Demand
Comprehensive online help provides an instruction reference as well as step by step
instructions for common tasks.
