! Program Number Handling
The program number is a number for the purpose of program discrimination. There
are two kinds of programs: Main programs and sub-programs. The numbers 1~256
may be applied to each.
Supplemental Item
(1) The same number cannot be designated for both main programs and sub-programs.
(2) Up to 256 programs of the Main program and Subprogram combined can be
created.
! Comment Writing
It is possible to write comments within the program. These comments are saved
within the controller. There are two ways to create a comment, as follows:
1. Surrounding a comment statement with quotation marks.
“Character string”
Example
2. All characters following the first quotation mark in a line become comments
without surrounding the line in quotation marks if ENTER is pressed.
“Character string ENTER
