Symbol Filtering Using Symbol Names and I/O Comments When Inputting Contacts,
Coils, and Special Instruction Operands
Previous version (Ver. 4.0) New version (Ver. 5.0)
Searches were possible only
for symbol names of
contacts and coils, and
mnemonics of special
instructions when inputting
contacts, coils, or special
instruction operands.
Searches and list displays are possible for text strings that are part of symbol names or
I/O comments when inputting contacts, coils, or special instruction operands.
a) By entering a specific text string when inputting I/O contacts or operands, a list of
address_comment or name_address_comment combinations that contain the
specified text string in the symbol name or I/O comment is displayed in a drop-
down list. The desired symbol can then be input by selecting it from the list.
b) In the same way, when inputting operands for special instructions, the Filter
Symbol Button can be clicked to input a text string in the Filter Symbol Dialog Box
to display a list of address_comment or name_address_comment combinations
that contain the specified string in the symbol name or I/O comment in a drop-down
list. The desired symbol can then be input by selecting it from the list.
