COMMENT

Use the COMMENT function to enter a comment (rung explanation) in the program. A comment can have up to 2048 characters of text. It is represented in the ladder logic like this:

(* COMMENT *)

The text can be read or edited by moving the cursor to (* COMMENT *) after accepting the rung and selecting Zoom (F10). Comment text can also be printed.

Longer text can be included in printouts using an annotation text file, as described below:

1.Create the comment:

A.Enter text to the point where the text from the other file should begin.

B.Move the cursor to the beginning of a new line and enter \I or \i, the drive followed by a colon, the subdirectory or folder, and the file name, as shown in this example:

\I d:\text\commnt1

The drive designation is not necessary if the file is located on the same drive as the program folder.

C. Continue editing the program, or exit to MS-DOS.

2.After exiting the programmer, create a text file using any MS-DOS compatible software package. Give the file the file name entered in the comment, and place it on the drive specified in the comment.
