Step 7 - Entering a Label in LAD

[sb234 0]

Hi, I am a newbie to Siemens PLCs and have an easy one. All I am trying to do is insert a Label into my program. Entering the JMP command works fine. In the network below, I can enter a matching Label, but it is not connected to the power rung. I am not seeing a way to connect it and I get an unconnected T branch error message when I try to save the new rung. So, how do you connect a Label to the power rung? This is such a small thing it's a little embarrassing to ask, but I've looked through all of the references and tried different things with no success. THANKS! Steve

Jump goes into rung you are jumping from. Label is in a box format above the rung in the network you are jumping to. Label is not shown connected to power rung.

You have to place the cursor at the beginning of the rung. It is not enough to select the entire rung. Then insert the label.

Thanks! I was paying too much attention to the manual that shows a connection to the power rung.
