5.8.3 Adding new rungs and branches to a Ladder Diagram
Rungs may be added to a ladder diagram via the New Rung tool.
Selecting the New Rung button will add another rung to the current
displayed ladder diagram. Rungs are inserted before a selected rung or
added to the end of the diagram when no rung or block is selected, or
when any block is selected. When a new rung is inserted or added in the wrong
position, select the rung (click on the rung number) and drag it to the desired
position, or delete it and try again.
Rungs may optionally be assigned a label to serve as the target for a GOTO block
or a caption to document the diagram. Both attributes can be edited by a right-
click on the rung number (to activate the context menu) and selecting the Edit
Rung Properties entry.
