IDEC SmartRelay Manual
The figure above shows you three views of the IDEC
SmartRelay display, which represent the circuit program. As
you can see, IDEC SmartRelay interconnects the blocks
using their numbers.
Advantages of block numbers
You can connect almost any block to an input of the current
block by means of its block number. In this way, you can re-
use the interim results of logical or other operations, reduce
programming effort, save memory space and clean up your
circuit layout. To do so, however, you need to know how
IDEC SmartRelay has named the blocks.
Note
We advise you to create an organizational program chart. You will
find this a valuable aid when you create the circuit program,
because you can enter in this chart all block numbers that IDEC
SmartRelay assigns.
By using the WindLGC software to program IDEC SmartRelay, you
can directly create a function chart of your circuit program.
WindLGC also allows you to assign eight-character names to up to
64 blocks, and to view these on the IDEC SmartRelay display in pa-
rameter assignment mode (see Chapter 3.4).
