In
this post we will show you some tips that help increase the speed of
programming using keyboard shortcuts and writing commands in ASCII. In
addition, we will configure bookmarks that help during troubleshoot complex
programs with efficient navigation between the marked rungs.
Editing
the commands used in the rung in ASCII form: it is possible to write the name
of the command and enter the parameters of the command. In the example below,
the XIC, MASD, MOV and commands are used to start a BST (branch start) bra nch,
and end the BND (branch end) and NXB (next branch) branch to go to the next
branch.
Another
way to add commands to the program is by right-clicking and Add Ladder element:
The
same commands above can be configured as keyboard shortcuts, enabling in
Tools> Options> Ladder editor. For example, by clicking the "c"
key the CTU instruction is added to the program being edited in Ladder.
By
enabling the Show Quick Key configuration option, the shortcuts appear on the
edit screen:
Bookmarks
help to troubleshoot parts and even different routines of a program. To show
and enable bookmarks, click View> Toolbars and click bookmarks. They will
appear on the program screen and bookmarks can be added to interested rungs.
Then navigation is simple by jumping from one bookmark to another.
