Chapter 4 Navigate the Old Ladder Editor Interface

Ladder Logic View

The Ladder Logic View is the area in which you place functional
elements to create logic.

The printed ladder logic uses A4 sheets of paper. The ladder logic is
printed at full size, regardless of the setting of the current zoom level.
To make adjustments to the ladder logic before printing, you can use
the print preview feature to see how it will print. The ladder can also
be sent to a plotter for easier viewing.

Message Pane

The Message Pane on the bottom of the old Ladder Editor displays the
results when you verify logic. If the old Ladder Editor finds an error in
your logic, click on the error or warning message in the message pane
and the cursor goes to the place in the old Ladder Editor where the
error is in the logic.

The message pane also displays the amount of memory that is
available in the device (only after you verify the logic).

From the View menu, you can toggle between displaying the message
pane or not displaying it.

TIP

Because a device has limited memory to store logic, the display
of uploaded information may not match the appearance of
information downloaded to the device. Therefore, once your
logic configuration is complete, you should print a copy of it for
your records. Additionally, Rockwell Automation also suggests
that you save the RSNetWorx for DeviceNet software (*.dnt)
project file.
