Hi Guys,
In this thread from a couple of years ago, in post #11, TConnolly demonstrated a method of building rungs in excel, then using a text editor to make the string "Logix-Friendly".
I've got a project coming up where I will have several blocks of logic, anywhere from 25-60 rungs apiece, in a RSLogix 500 program. This is a very large program, and scan-time is already an issue (100-130ms!) so I don't want to use any loops if I can avoid it.
TConnolly's technique would be a life-saver, but I'm having trouble implementing it. No problem building the rungs in Excel. I am using Notepad++, and was able to replace the EOL characters with spaces easily enough, but have not been able to eliminate the tabbed spaces between instructions that Excel leaves.
Just looking for some pointers from the pros who have been doing stuff like this for years.
Thanks in advance! :site:
Cheers,
Dustin
