Hello,

Can anyone tell me where to find where i have to go to enable the cross referencing under the instructions in ladder logic as seen in the picture below ( picture from rslogix 500 program )

I am working with versions 13 and 15 at the time.

I find it hard to beleive that Rockwell would not carry this feature over to the 5000 series programming software. It saves a quite a bit of time as opposed to clicking the instruction, then pressing CTRL+E, and then going to the appropriate instruction.

In rs logix 500 it is under
Tools
- Options
-XRef / Address Wizard Tab
-select Enable Cross Reference Online and Enable Cross Reference Offline

Hi Big E,

I don't think it is possible in RS5000. But if you click Ctrl + E then the cross reference page will appear, and for me it is good enough.

I would say that the most useful thing about those cross references is that just by looking at the reference under a conditional instruction ( xic, xio, neq, etc ), you can see if there is a destructive instruction for that address or tag ( ote, otl, otu, etc).

Its a very quick and effective way of making sure you didint forget anything... and cross referencing each tag using CTRL+E woud be very time consuming for the size project I do...

You cannot do this with RS5000.

Omron can do something you'll like: when you hit space bar when you are on a contact, software bring you to the coil (if coil exist), then if you hit space bar again, software bring you back to the original position. It's faster a little bit.

But for RS5000, you must open a cross ref window. I resize my window for see crossref and ladder. But I need to crossref tag by tag.
