3.2 Logic Blocks in the Editor
Before you start programming in the LAD Editor, you should familiarize
yourself with the various ways in which you can customize the editor to suit
your preferences and method of working.
With the menu command Options
"
Customize, you can open a tabbed page
dialog box. In the “Editor” tabbed page, you can make the following basic
settings for block programming:
S Font (type style, size) used in text and tables
S The programming language of your choice (FBD, LAD, or STL). A new
block will be opened in FBD, LAD, or
STL depending on the
programming language you select. Bearing in mind certain restrictions,
you can switch to one of the other languages later on and still view the
block.
S Display of symbols and comment in the new block (on or off)
The settings for language, comment and symbols can be altered at any time
during editing by using the commands in the View
”
... menu.
In the “LAD/FBD” tabbed page, which you also display with Options
"
Customize, you can make the following basic settings:
S Ladder Layout: determines the display size of your networks. The
selected size decides how many LAD elements you can position next to
each other in one network. This setting also has effects when printing out
the block.
S Width of Address Field: determines the width of text fields for addresses.
If the width is exceeded, a line break is made. A large address field is
more practical for symbolic addressing, a small field is sufficient for
absolute addressing.
S Line/Color for: the selected element, contact, status fulfilled, status not
fulfilled
