Storing Comments, Symbol Names, Rung Comments, and Other Data in CPU Unit's
Comment Memory (CS/CJ-series CPU Unit Ver. 3.0 or Later)
Previous version (Ver. 4.0)
The following common data could be stored in the
Memory Card or EM file memory (Memory Card when
both are available) by downloading projects from the CX-
Programmer.
• Symbol tables (symbol names, comments, and
automatic allocation area setting data:
SYMBOLS.SYM)
• Comments (rung comments and other comments:
COMMENTS.CMT)
• Program indexes (section names, section comments,
and program comments)
Inputting I/O Comments for Timer/Counter Numbers in Timer/Counter Instructions
Previous version (Ver. 4.0)
When inputting timer/counter
instructions, I/O comments
could not be input for
timer/counter numbers (first
operand) in the timer/counter
instruction.
I/O comments could be input
for timer/counter Completion
Flags, after which, these I/O
comments were
automatically displayed for
the timer/counter numbers
(first operand) of the
timer/counter instructions.
This function is available in both Ladder Section Windows and the Function Block Editor.
Use this function to increase input efficiency when inputting symbols and comments that
have been input before.
Example
Input temp in the Symbol/Address Input field.
Click the button on the right of the pull-down menu to display all the symbols/addresses that contain
"temp" in the symbol name or I/O comment.
For example, select the item at the bottom of the list temp_alarm02, W0.05, The lower part of a device A
temperature error (70 degrees min) to simply input the symbol name temp_alarm02.
Select Tools - Options, and then select the Symbol Filtering option on the Diagrams Tab
Page to enable searching for specified text strings for the following: Name only, Comment
only, or Both (default)
When inputting timer/counter instructions using simple dialog mode selected in the
Instruction Dialog Box, I/O comments can be input for the timer/counter number (first
operand) in the timer/counter instruction. (The Completion Flag of the timer/counter
instruction that corresponds to this number is automatically registered in the global
symbol table.)
Also, the ... (three dots) button can be clicked in detailed dialog mode to display the
Find Symbol Dialog and then input a new symbol name using the NUMBER data type
for the timer/counter number (first operand) of the timer/counter instruction and the
symbol comment. The NUMBER type symbol will be registered in the local symbol table
and at the same time, the number of the timer/counter Completion Flag is registered in
the global symbol table.
New version (Ver. 5.0)
A list of all variables/addresses containing
"temperature" are displayed.
New version (Ver. 5.0)
When downloading projects using CS/CJ-series CPU Units
with Ver. 3.0 or later, the Memory Card, EM file memory, or
comment memory (in the CPU Unit's flash memory) can be
selected as the transfer destination for I/O comments,
symbol names, rung comments, and other data.
This enables data such as I/O comments, symbol names,
and rung comments to be stored in the CPU Unit's internal
comment memory when a Memory Card or EM file memory
are both not available.
