. PLC-500 A.I. displays the mnemonic for the rung as in the example
shown below.
When using mnemonics to enter instructions, you must enter all parameters required
for the instruction. Notice in the example above that all parameters for the TON
instruction are listed in order, separated by spaces, in the rung mnemonic.
Quick Key Programming
Quick key programming is very useful, especially if you have certain instructions you
use often. If you map instruction types to the keyboard, pressing one of your defined
keys appends that instruction type after the current cursor position. For instance, the
“X” key is assigned to the XIC instruction by default. Pressing
[X]
appends or inserts
the XIC instruction, depending on the cursor position.
To define quick keys from the ladder logic editor, press
[Shift-F10]
. The quick key
definition window includes an instruction help utility which describes each SLC 500
instruction.
The keys assigned to given instructions are displayed on a line above the function key
help line. If more keys are assigned than will fit across the line, the line will end with
an ellipsis (…) to indicate that more keys are assigned than are displayed. Press the
spacebar to scroll the display of assigned quick keys.
