Ladder Viewer and Ladder add-on (828D only)

23.1

Introduction

A PLC user program consists to a large degree of logical operations to implement safety
functions and to support process sequences. These logical operations include the linking of
various contacts and relays. These logic operations are displayed in a ladder diagram.

Ladder add-on tool

The failure of a single input, output or relay normally results in the failure of the complete
system.
Using the Ladder add-on tool, you can perform a PLC diagnosis in order to find fault causes
or program errors.
Generating an INT_100/INT_101 block
If an INT_100 or INT_101 block is missing, it can be added via the vertical softkey bar. If
these INT blocks exist in a project, they can be deleted via the vertical softkey bar. You also
have the opportunity to change newly-created or empty networks for interrupt routines on the
control as well as to save and load these changes.
Interrupt routines
You can edit the following interrupt programs:
● INT_100 - interrupt program (is executed before the main program)
● INT_101 - interrupt program (is executed after the main program)
Marshalling data
Using the Ladder add-on tool, you can "re-wire" inputs (via INT_100) or outputs (via
INT_101) for service purposes.
Note
Saving the PLC project when changing the operating area
If you have created INT_100/INT_101 blocks or inserted, removed or edited networks in an
INT block, you must save the project before you change from the PLC area into another
operating area. Transfer the project into the PLC using the "Download to CPU" softkey. If
this is not done, all of the changes will be lost and must be re-entered.
