Append an element to the cursor location

Important:

Use caution when copying and pasting components between different versions of the Logix
Designer application. The application only supports pasting to the same version or newer version.

Pasting to a prior version of the application is not supported. When pasting to a prior version, the

paste action may succeed but the results may not be as intended.

1. Click to select the instruction, branch, or rung that is above or to the left of

where you want to add an element.

2. On the Language Element toolbar, click the button for the element that

you want to add.

Drag and drop an element

Drag the button for the element directly to the desired location. A green dot

shows a valid placement location (drop point).

After you add an instruction to a ladder rung, you assign tags to the instruction
operands. You can create a new tag, use an existing tag, or assign a constant value.

Create and assign a new tag

1. Click the operand area of the instruction.

2. Type a name for the tag and press the Enter key.

3. Right-click the tag name and then click New "tag_name".
