1.2.2 Features and functions of the Ladder Builder for KV
The Ladder Builder for KV is a software program that allows you to create sequence
programs. It offers excellent functionality and advanced programming processing
ability.
Features of the Ladder Builder for KV
■ The multi-file edit function and simple mouse operation improve work
efficiency.
Because two or more files can be edited at a time, a block diagram can be cut
and pasted between files. Symbols and connection lines can be easily copied
and moved using the mouse. Each function can be started by pressing a button
on the tool bar, which promotes efficient operation.
■ Selection of instruction words and devices from a list ensures the correct
input of symbols.
Because the instruction word and device can be selected from a list for each
type, symbols can be entered with little error. A symbol can also be entered
directly by typing the corresponding instruction word to facilitate rapid program-
ming.
■ Ladder data can be shared with the KV IncrediWare (DOS).
Because the ladder data created using the KV IncrediWare (DOS) can be used
as it is, the ladder property created thus far can still be used effectively. The
ladder data created using the Ladder Builder for KV can also be used in the KV
IncrediWare (DOS).
