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. You 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.
Note
Before continuing in this chapter, refer to 7–25 and review how to configure your
display to show the comments in your ladder program.
