Search Using Page Titles (Advanced Diagnostics)
Not available in MicroLogix 1000 A.I.
Advanced Diagnostics provides a method of searching for a desired rung using page
title documentation. See Chapter 8 - Adding Descriptive Text to Ladder Logic for
information on entering page titles.
Advanced Diagnostics allows you to segment your ladder programs into functional
blocks, keeping together parts of the program that serve a given function.
For instance, if you had several hundred rungs that controlled a particular machine, you
could place a page title at the first rung of that part of the ladder program to identify the
function of that part of the program, such as, “Control Logic for Machine #2”.
When something goes wrong with machine #2, you could perform an Advanced
Diagnostics search on the program, and immediately see the outputs for the control
logic for machine #2. If you are online with the processor, you can see the outputs
change as the machine operates. If you want to edit the ladder logic, you can select the
rung you want to go to, press [Enter] , and immediately go to that rung in the ladder
program.
