Entering and Editing Your Program

Read this chapter to enter and edit program files using your
MicroLogix 1000 HHP. This chapter describes:

entering the program monitor

editing considerations

editing in append and overwrite modes

deleting instructions and rungs

searching for specific addresses

Once you understand the structure of instruction lists, you can begin entering
the instructions into the program files. You do this in the program monitor
functional area. This section shows you how to access the program monitor
and describes the main screens within it.

Accessing the Program Monitor

To access the program monitor display for the program, begin at the home
screen and press the key sequence shown here:

MON

ENT

If this is the first time you are entering the program monitor, you will see the
Start of File screen (explained below). If you entered the program monitor
before, you return to the last location you were at within the program.

Program Monitor Screen Definitions

There are four key screens used within the program monitor. The Start of
File and the End of File screens are created automatically as part of every
program file. The Start of Rung and First Instruction on Rung screens are
created by you as you add rungs to the program files. Each of these screens
is explained below.
