SLC 500 Cross reference

Hey,

I was working on a SLC 5\04 and I noticed that each instruction had a cross reference associated it with stating which routine and which rung it belonged to throughout the program. How does a guy set that up?

The SLC controller set this up as you do your programing.

On your PC screen or on paper?

For your viewing online or offline in the RSLogix editor, click on View, Properties (or right click the ladder background).

There is a tab called "Address Display" and at the bottom are options to turn on cross referencing for viewing.

If they are grayed out, you may first have to go to Tools, Options and on the third tab, check the tick-boxes to enable cross references online and offline. I don't know why these would need to be turned off, but I think that's the default.

These tools are not available in the free Micro Starter Lite version.

The cross-reference facility has absolutely nothing to do with the SLC controller. It is provided by the RSLogix500 programming software.

I would not rely on a "paper" copy of the cross-reference information, that was only valid the instant it was printed. RSLogix500 keeps the X-Ref info up to date when the project is open.
