CHAPTER 4 – Reference
The project is updated, showing a new program inserted at the bottom of the hierarchy together with an empty
local symbol table. Task types available are as follows (the icon is displayed next to the Program object in the
project workspace, and the task number is shown in brackets to the right).
Contact and Coil Editing
The Edit Contact dialog or Edit Coil dialog allows the name or address of the contact or coil to be entered or
selected from a list of global and local symbols. The name or address can also be defined as a new symbol from
this dialog and inserted into the local or global symbol table.
The dialog can be displayed in two forms, either: simple dialog mode or detailed dialog mode. The default
mode can be set in the Diagram tab in the Options dialog. To change the simple dialog mode to a detailed
dialog mode, select Detail pushbutton.
Use the following procedure to edit contacts or coils in simple dialog mode.
1, 2, 3...
Note: When inputting contacts or coils using CX-Programmer Ver.5.0 or later, symbols can be filtered
by symbol name and I/O comment and displayed in a list. When inputting contacts or coils, a text
string can be input to filter symbols for those with symbol names or I/O comments that contain the
specified string. A list of the resulting symbols is displayed in address_comment or
name_address_comment combinations in a drop-down list. The desired symbol can then be input
by selecting it from the list. Use this function to increase input efficiency when inputting symbols
or comments that have been input before. This function can be used in both Ladder Section
Windows and the Function Block Editor.
