Navigate the Function Block Editor Interface Chapter 2

Schematic View

The schematic sheet is the area in which you place function blocks to
create logic. The area is laid out on a grid with letters A through L
representing the columns and numbers 1 through 12 representing the
rows. This area is large enough to easily place all the function blocks,
I/O tags, and associated connecting wires needed to create the
desired logic.

The printed schematic uses 12 size A sheets of paper. The editor prints
the schematic on four rows of three sheets. The schematic is printed at
full size, regardless of the setting of the current zoom level. To make
adjustments to the schematic before printing, you can use the print
preview feature to see how the schematic will print. The schematic
can also be sent to a plotter for easier viewing.

TIP

The zoom level controls how much of the schematic you see at
any given time. If you want to see more of the schematic, zoom
out. If you want more detail, zoom in. You can also use the
scroll bars to move the schematic sheet around to display parts
of the schematic that do not fit on the display.

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.
