Out box
« on: December 16, 2007, 11:26:07 AM »
Hi everybody

How to get, in DS5, the Out-box instead of the Out coil by typing Out then Enter.

Thanks.

Chiali.

After pressing the Enter press the '/' key. This will change it to the OUT WORD instruction. Using the '/' key will also toggle a contact between NO and NC. Another use is to step through the various inline comparison instructions.
An output is a PLC's way of getting its inputs to change.

another way to get there is to hit the 'F7' key then type OUT, F7 is the 'Box Browser', so it selects the OUT Box by default instead of the OUT Coil.
Good design costs a lot. Bad design costs even more.
