Navigate the New Ladder Editor Interface Chapter 6
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 new Ladder Editor window
displays the results when you verify logic by clicking the Verify
button in the toolbar or by choosing Tools > Logic Verify. If the new
Ladder Editor finds an error in your logic, click on the error or
warning message in this pane, and the cursor moves to the place in
the new Ladder Editor where the error appears 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.
Status Bar The Status bar, located on the bottom of the new Ladder Editor,
provides a view of the current working status of the new Ladder
Editor. You can toggle between displaying the Status Bar and not
displaying it by selecting View > Status Bar.
Six panes provide unique information about the new Ladder Editor.
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 project file.
