Notes on the element selection in the POU editors:
Basically particular variables can be selected like usual for the respective editor.
Additionally the following is true:
• In the FBD editor all elements on the left of a selected element will automatically
be selected too. For example also the inputs a and b of an AND box will be selected
when you select the AND box.
• In the Ladder editor multiple elements can be selected by keeping the <Shift> key
pressed while clicking on the desired elements.
• In the ST and IL editor in the right part of the window a single variable can be
selected. In the left part multiple lines can be selected in order to get all included
variables added to the watch list.
• In the SFC editor you can select multiple successive elements in order to get all
included variables added to the watch list.
• In the declaration parts of GVLs and POUs only particular variables can be selected.
'Extras' 'Into new watch list'
Short key: <Alt>+<X>+<N>
This command inserts the variable(s) currently selected in a POU editor to a new
watch list. This list will automatically be created with name "Watch<n>", whereby n is
a running number starting with 0 and used in a way that the name will be unique.
Furthermore for this command the same is true like for 'Extras' 'Add to watch list'.
'Insert address range'
Instead of a variable name an address in standard format can be entered in column
"name" of a watch list.
The command allows to insert all addresses of a defined address range to the watch
list at one go. For this purpose a dialog opens where you can specify the start address
and the number of addresses. If you define for example name="%MW0" and number =
"10", then the addresses %MW0 to %MW9 will be inserted in the watch list.
