IP 265
The following applies to entries in COM 265's "Editor" form:
Before an editing function (e.g. enter operand, insert language element, etc.) can be initiated, you
must first select the locations in the control system flowchart at which an action is to take place. To
do this, move the cursor to the required location in the input area of the COM 265 screen form.
The following may be selected in the control system flowchart:
• Input fields for operands (including connectors) in the input and output bars
• Connecting lines in the logic field
• COM 265 language elements in the logic field
• Input fields for connectors in the logic field
Selected elements are displayed on the screen in reverse video.
Note
The cursor is moved on a grid-oriented basis. To position the cursor, use the numeric
keypad and the <TAB> or <SHIFT> <TAB> key(s) on the programmer keyboard
( Section 8.5.4). COM 265 does not support cursor control using a mouse.
In order to acquaint you with the COM 265 control system flowchart editor's many options, we shall
first demonstrate all possible operand input options, using a simple language element (an AND
operation as an example).
Remember
The following may be edited as operand identifiers in the CSF's margin bars:
• Identifiers for the IP 265's local inputs and outputs
• Identifiers for input and output parameters
• Identifiers for connectors
• Identifiers for constants
With the exception of connectors, operands are located only in the control system flowchart's margin
bars. Connectors, on the other hand, may also be located in the logic field between COM 265
language elements.
Note
In Section 9.3.1 you will find an overview of all direct operand identifiers allowed in the
control system flowchart's margin bars.
If you want to program symbolic operand identifiers in the control system flowchart's
margin bars, you must first enter them in the local IP 265 assignment list
( Section 9.4.2).
