*2: The Ladder Information parameters for Classic Mode can be set under Diagrams and Ladder
Display under Diagrams in Smart Style Mode.
Diagrams
The Diagrams tab allows settings to be applied to the Diagram Workspace upon entry to CX-Programmer.
Use the following procedure to change the settings applied to the Diagram Workspace.
1, 2, 3… 1. Select the Diagrams tab within the Options dialog.
2. Set the Show rung and step numbers to view the rung and step numbers at the left of the
ladder display, in the rung margin. Deselecting gives a smaller rung margin.
3. Setting the Show rung dividers will draw a line at the bottom of each rung, showing its
boundary.
4. Setting the Show grid by default will place a dot pattern around each cell on the ladder
diagram. This pattern can aid element placement, but may be removed for a clearer
display.
5. If the Show rung annotation lists is set then the list of comments that are within the rung
(both attached comments associated with particular elements within the rung, and
unattached comments) will be listed below the rung comment. Note that this option can
be quickly changed via the
View Rung Annotations button on the toolbar.
6. Setting the Allow Address Referencing without Window option allows use of the Go to
Input , Go to Output , Go to Next Address Reference and Go to Previous Jump Point
commands when the address reference tool is not on show. If this option is not set, then
the tool must be visible to use these commands. Note that when address referencing is
active, a small delay may be experienced when moving around a diagram, depending
upon the size of the PLC program.
7. Setting the Show actual I/O bit in XY will change the prefix of addresses ‘I:’ and ‘Q:’,
which are mapped to either an input unit or an output unit, to ‘X:’ and ‘Y:’.
8. Setting Check duplicated output and TIM/CNT No. executes a check for an output and
timer/counter, whether the address is already used in the program or not. The result may
be displayed on the Output window.
Note that addresses used as SET and RESET instructions will not be checked, since these
are frequently used in pair.
9. Setting Synchronize ladder and mnemonic cursors allows the position of the cursor in the
mnemonic view to move to the same step number as the cursor in the ladder view moves.
10. Selecting Tools – Options , and then selecting Show output instructions horizontally in
the Diagrams Tab Page (the default setting is OFF: previously used vertical display)
enables special instructions (except intermediate instructions) to be displayed
horizontally (CX-Programmer Ver. 4.0 or later). By using the horizontal display mode,
the number of instruction rungs that can be printed and displayed on one screen is
increased, improving the readability of the program. At the same time, the number of
printed pages can be reduced.
