Edit mode
The Edit mode is used when inserting a new line or modifying an existing line.
To insert a line, use the LD Toolbar. Three types of lines can be inserted using the following
buttons:
to insert a line of Ladder
to insert a line of Comment
to insert a Label that will be called by a JUMP
The Ladder diagram is made of several lines that are numbered starting at 1. Only one line at a
time can be edited with only one rung (a rung is a set of Input conditions connected to only one
set of Outputs). When editing is finished, the line must be compiled to proceed with the next one:
To save and compile a line. If an error occurs, a dialog box informs you on the
error. The key can also be used to save and compile a line.
If you were editing an existing line, you return to display mode.
If you were inserting a new line, you stay in edit mode.
To quit editing and discard changes. The key can also be used.
To select any item (line, contact, relays or Functions) of a Ladder line. Once
selected it can be edited by a double click to replace Tags. You can also erase the
selected item by pressing the key or insert a new contact, relay or Function
by selecting the proper icon in the LD Toolbar.
Inserting a new line as last line
To insert a new line as last line, place the cursor at the end of the last line and click the icon
corresponding to the type of line you wish to insert.
Inserting a new line between 2 existing lines
To insert a line between 2 existing lines, place the cursor on the existing line that the new line will
correspond to. The new line will move the existing line to next position after it is inserted. When
a line is selected, it is surrounded. Then click the icon corresponding to the type of line you wish
to insert. The line you placed the cursor on will be moved downwards. Using the keyboard UP
and DOWN arrows moves the selected line.
Modifying an existing line
To modify an existing line, place the cursor on the line you wish to modify. Then double-click it.
The arrow icon of the LD Toolbar is automatically selected.
