Online Editing
17–7
Once you assemble or cancel the edits, the edit zone markers are removed and the
power rails change back to a solid line. Edit markers are also removed from rungs
that are modified and then accepted while performing a program online edit.
When using the modify rung function, modified rungs are marked with R edit zone
markers on the power rail of the existing version and I edit zone markers are placed
on the power rail of the new version of the rung. Since IR pairs are connected, you
cannot insert, append, or undelete between rungs. An R marked rung is always
preceded by an I marked rung.
Since IR pairs are connected, when you try to select just the I or the R rung during a
cut, copy, or paste operation, both rungs are selected.
Status Line Display
If your program contains online editing modifications, APS indicates this on the
status line of the Program Monitor display. Diagnostic information sent by the
processor appears next to the keyswitch/processor mode. Possible diagnostic
information includes:
•
EDITS: NONE — indicates that there are no online edits in the processor
•
EDITS: TESTING — indicates that edit marked rungs exist and they are being
tested (executed)
•
EDITS: DISABLED — indicates that edit marked rungs exist, but they are not
being executed or tested
The following screen shows the edit zone markers. During a program online editing
session, modification of rungs containing edit zones cause these zones to be
removed.
Note If at least one edit marked zone appears in your program, either “testing” or
“disabled” appears on the status line.
