Tag Table/Paste to Logic
You can use the Tag Table in the logic editor and Paste to Logic in the
Documentation Window to help you program with tags. These two
options work in conjunction, enabling you to look up documentation and
copying it into your current location in your ladder instruction.
For example, if you would like to enter a tag as a parameter in your
ladder instruction but you can't recall its name or address, use the
following steps:
1.
Enter a partial string (or nothing).
2.
Select Tag Table from the View Menu or select Tag Table from
the Pop-up menu. The Documentation Window will
automatically open or will be displayed in the foreground with
the closest matching tag at the current cursor location.
3.
Locate the address/tag in the Documentation Window you wish
to use.
4.
Select Paste to Logic from the Edit menu or Paste to Logic
from the Pop-up menu and the address/tag will be pasted back
into the current location in your ladder program.
Shared Documentation
Address Documentation can be used in two ways:
The first is the traditional style. Where a temporary DATABASE file is
not shared and all edits are buffered until the file is saved. If the file is
not saved then any edits are lost. Upon saving the temporary
DATABASE file is copied to the same destination as the logic file.
A shared file works differently. This file can be shared (Opened more
then once.) by different programs. Edits are not buffered but are
immediately saved. Upon saving a program the Address Documentation
DATABASE file does not get saved, thus Save As does not affect the
file at all. A refresh time can be entered that causes the database to
reread the file to acquire any new or changed documentation. Also, a
shared database can reference a database created for another purpose as
long as the fields are map-able to our defaults. A shared file can be
created at user direction, but once created is the responsibility of the user
to delete.
To modify a shared documentation file select Shared Documentation
setup from the Options menu.
