Column Missing In GXWorks 2 Label Editor

6 posts in this topic

Hi 

I'm trying to set some Global labels in a test project and assign them to actual devices.

According to the manual, if I type the device into the device column It should be reflected in the address column.

The problem I am having is that the address column doesn't exist and I don't know why. Please see attached screenshot. The top table is from my project and the bottom from the manual.

This means that the label isn't being assigned to the device correctly.

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance.

M100 is already the device adress. Only in a structured program you also get the IEC adress. 

You have a simple project with labels

Hello Again Gambit.

As you can see this is all a bit taxing to me.

I think I've sussed my problem out now. 

I thought that if I entered the label for a device in my code (on an output for example) it would automatically show the device as well and vice versa. This doesn't appear to be the case and I can enter either but they don't pick each others comments up.

Thanks for looking though.

Now to try and tackle arrays :-(

Just go to....

Tools = > options => program editor => Ladder => Ladder diagram => Display Label and devices !!!

But I suggest using stuctured programming instead of simple mode with labels

Gambit you know more about this than Mitsi Tech.

I know because I rang them and they couldn't help. What you said worked perfectly :-)

Well kind of anyway. I still have to enter the label, entering the device doesn't bring the label up but it's a lot easier to follow.

By Structured do you mean structured text?

Thanks for your help 

EDIT I just found the structured project manual. I'm going to look at that.
