Monitoring Ladder Program

This section describes the function to monitor the ladder program on the LCD of the SmartAXIS.
The program monitor on the SmartAXIS Pro is only enabled when ladder program is selected as the programming language.
Function Specification
Two lines of the ladder program stored in the ROM can be displayed on the LCD. You can show the ladder program at the specified
line number by specifying it using the operation buttons. The SmartAXIS saves the monitored ladder line when ladder program
monitoring is finished, and you can resume to monitor the ladder program from the same ladder line.
You can display the details of instruction parameters or switch the on/off state of contacts using the operation buttons.
The ladder program can be monitored regardless of the Run/Stop status of the SmartAXIS.
