18.4.12 Searching for a Variable Name

You can search a task for a variable by following the directions below.
1. Enter F2 to initiate the search.
2. Enter the name of the variable.
3. By entering one of the letters indicated below, you can qualify the

search to examine only certain types of elements for the variable:
A Ć All contacts and coil

O Ć Normally open contacts

C Ć Normally closed contacts

U Ć Upward transition contacts

D Ć Downward transition contacts
The task will be scanned from the beginning for a match. If a

match is found, the search stops and the ladder sequence

containing the match is displayed.

4. If you want to search for another instance of the same variable,

enter Alt/F2. This function will cause the search to continue from

the sequence at which it had stopped until the next match. A

search must have been initiated with the F2 function key in order

to use this function. It may be reĆexecuted as many times as

necessary.

before an existing first sequence. F10 can also be used to insert at

any place in the task if the sequence number entered is not already

in the task.
1. Enter F10.
2. Enter a sequence number smaller than the current first sequence

number.

3. Proceed with the insert operation described in 18.4.2 and 18.4.3
