The Do More designer defaults to native memory addresses like V0 when creating ladder. Would it be possible in future versions to have an option to select either Direct logic or Modbus address as the default? This would save time depending on the type of project being done.

Each instruction parameter has its own set of rules based off
1. THAT parameter's FULL list of valid elements which is based off the data-type, data-size, allowing constants, etc.
2. that parameter's I/O Parameter Type, i.e. INPUT, OUTPUT, or INPUT/OUTPUT. If it's an OUTPUT parameter, it will default to the FIRST UNUSED element from step 1.
3. a few specific instructions have slightly more intelligent default parameters
Can you provide a list of potential instructions, or do you want ALL instructions use V0, even contacts, counters, stages, etc.? Or possibly provide some requirements that fit closer to steps 1 and 2 above?

How about a prioritized list of data-types, e.g.
In this project, use
V, D, C,
In this other project, use
MHR, MC
In another project, use
DLV, DLC

Cool! It could even be changed during the course of a project. For example, while working on logic, you might want to default to X, Y, C, D, N, etc., then when you're working on the HMI interface, switch the default to MHR, MHC, or to DLC, DLV, etc.

Yes, the ability to change from a default of X, Y, C, D, N and switch to MHR, MHC, or to DLC, DLV, as I’m writing the ladder.
Thanks for the Do More, it is a great CPU!
