*2: I/O comments can be displayed in one line, three lines, or not at all. A maximum of five
characters can be displayed per line.
*3: If the address consists of more than 8 characters, the line will be wrapped. The entire address
can be displayed by pressing the instruction display area in the ladder program section.
Note
I/O comments can be read from the PLC when the symbol table is saved in the PLC.
If the symbol table cannot be transferred to the PLC, the I/O Comment Extracting Tool
can be used to extract I/O comment data from CX-Programmer CXT files. For details,
refer to the
I/O Comment Extracting Tool Operation Manual
.
Note
Up to 22 lines per program section (a group of instructions for which the bus bar is
divided) can be displayed on the Ladder Monitor. Line 23 and onwards will not be
displayed. They will also not be displayed if the number of lines exceeds 22 as a result
of wrapping. A program section including 9 or more TR Bits will also not be displayed.
Note 1: Displaying Wrapped Rows
When displaying a program section including more the maximum number of columns (21
for the NS15, 16 for the NS12, or 13 for the NS10/8), the next row is automatically started
using the
element as shown below.
NS15: 21 columns (e.g., 21 input columns, 1 output column)
NS12: 16 columns (e.g., 16 input columns, 1 output column)
NS10/8: 13 columns (e.g., 13 input columns, 1 output column)
The row is automatically wrapped when the program
section has more than the maximum number of
columns that can be displayed.
