Hi folks..Browsing around between here and MrPLC.com I came across a couple of posts that were simular in nature and got me to doing a little research at work.

Both these posts have to do with programming using subroutines or not using them, so I checked a buch of our PLC programs at work and found almost all of them {all but 1} were subroutined programs. The 1 that was not was only 48 rungs long. I guess I have never seen a program broken down or divided in any other way. Could some of ya'll post samples of the way you subdivide a program? PDF format would probably be best. It doesn't matter what the flavor {AB, Siemens, GE,Omron ,Mitsubishi etc etc}. Just stuff you feel safe to post, nothing propiatary or you could just fake it with junk rungs with some comments to give an idea of how you do it.Any and all would be welcome and appreaceated.
Thanks and later...Todd
