Improvements to Global Replacement Operation
Changes between normally open contacts and normally closed contacts can be performed for specified addresses
using the
Change All operation.
If Change All is selected from the Edit menu and a checkmark is placed in the checkbox for Invert open/close
bit before performing a global replacement for the PLC, all specified operands that are normally open contacts
will be changed to normally closed contacts and all normally closed contacts will be changed to normally open
contacts
.
Note: If the check box for symbols (including I/O comments) is cleared before an address is replaced
globally, the symbols table and I/O comments will not be changed and only addresses in the
ladder program will be changed. If the check box for symbols (including I/O comments) is
selected before an address is replaced globally, the replacement operation will be the same as
the previous version of the software (version 3.0).
Finding and Replacing Symbols in the I/O Comment View
Symbol comments can be searched and replaced on the I/O Comment view. Use the I/O Comment view to
replace comments of TIM/CNT instructions (for both BOOL and CHANNEL types) and to update those
changes to all symbol tables and programs.
F3 Searching
When the search dialog is closed search is possible using the F3 key. The same search criteria is used except that
the search will never progress beyond the scope of the focus. Hence, a single view focus will never open another
view whereas if the scope is a program level then the search will continue for the scope covered by that of a
normal search.
Note: Mnemonic searches do not require an asterisk * or parentheses () with function codes input
after the mnemonic search target (CX-Programmer Ver. 4.0 or later).
Properties
Each window or object in CX-Programmer has associated Properties that can be displayed. The method of
displaying the tool is the same.
The following Properties are available:
♦
Project;
♦
PLC;
♦ Program;
♦
Section.
A Pin feature is available for all Properties. Select the Pin button from the Properties dialog to
keep the dialog on top of other windows.
Use the following procedure to view properties.
1, 2, 3… 1. Select the required object from the project workspace.
2. Select the Show Properties button from the toolbar. The Properties dialog is displayed.
If another object or window is selected whilst a Properties dialog is open, the dialog changes appearance to
reflect the properties for the newly selected item or area.
Project Properties
The Project Properties dialog allows the name of the project to be altered and a link to an external CX-Server
file to be created.
Use the following procedure to view project properties.
1, 2, 3… 1. Select the Project object in the project workspace.
2. Select the Show Properties button from the toolbar. The Project Properties dialog is
displayed.
