Adding coil elements
Follow these steps to add and modify coil elements.
Add a coil element
1. Verify the LD program has a defined rung for the coil.
2. From the Toolbox, drag the coil into the LD language editor to the right of
a Boolean symbol or of a Boolean output.
3. Assign a variable to the coil.
Tip: A plus sign (+) appears on top of a Toolbox element when you hover over a valid target. Release the
mouse button to add the element.
Tip: You can use keyboard shortcut keys to add elements to your LD program. See
page 54.
Insert a parallel coil
1. From the Toolbox, drag the branch element into the language editor, and
place it just slightly above the rung element.
2. From the Toolbox, drag a coil element into the language editor, and place it
on the branch element to display the coil on the branch.
