18.4.2.3

Using an Existing Coil Name
You cannot insert a sequence with the same coil name as that found

in an existing sequence. If you try to do so, the system will display an

error message indicating there is a duplicate coil.

18.4.2.4

Adding Local Booleans
All local booleans that are added must first be entered as coils in

order to be defined as locals. They must be defined as locals in this

way before they may be used as contacts. All common symbols that

are added must be defined using the Variable Configurator. If a new

common that is not already defined is added, the screen will display

an error message indicating that the symbol is not resolved.

18.4.2.5

Inserting a Sequence with Counter or Shift Register Blocks
If Counter or Shift Register blocks are installed when the UP, DOWN,

or SHIFT inputs are conducting, the count or shift will not take place.

The count or shift will take place only when the input is turned off and

back on again.

18.4.2.6

Inserting or Modifying a Sequence with an Upward Transition

Contact
If an upward transition contact references a new input in a register

not previously used by the task, and if the input is conducting, an

upward transition will be detected on the first scan after the new

sequence is installed or the existing sequence modified.
For example, you insert the following sequence where Q_IN is

defined in the configuration task for the rack, but is not used

elsewhere in the Ladder Logic task:

Q_IN

Q_OUT

]ĂUĂ[

B_OUT

]ĂăĂ[

(ăă)

If Q_IN is on when the sequence is inserted, B_OUT will turn on. If a

different bit in the word where Q_IN is defined was already used by

the task, then B_OUT will not turn on until Q_IN turns off and then on

again.
