PLC-2 Ladder Logistics - 3.43S

Hi again.

I'm having trouble creating a parallel branch in the above mentioned software. I've followed the manual (1772-pm003_-en-e) but just end up with a single rung with little pips hanging off it.

[commands]
1) F3->F9 insert rung
2) o 02703 create output with address 02703
3) F3->( insert open branch
4) F3->i 07415 insert n/o contact 07415
5) F3->/ 02703 insert n/c contact 02703
6) F3->) insert close branch
7) F3->F9 insert rung
8) F3->( insert open branch
9) F3->/ 07415 insert n/c contact 07415
10) F3->i 02703 insert n/o contact 02703
11) F3->) insert close branch

This just creates 2 rungs which aren't connected
I tried without step 7 and this just created a single rung with pips hanging off
[/commands]

Really stuck now, 3 hours to add 1 rung is embarrassing...

Any help greatly appreciated

Regards
Dave

Never mind... just solved it

1) F3->F9 insert rung
2) move to previous rung
3) F3->/ 07415 insert n/c contact 07415
4) F3->i 02703 insert n/o contact 02703
5) move to previous rung
7) F3->( insert open branch
8) move to previous rung
9) F3->( insert open branch
10) F3->i 07415 insert n/o contact 07415
11) F3->/ 02703 insert n/c contact 02703
12) move to end of bottom parallel branch
13) F3->) insert close branch
14) move to output area
15) o 02703 create output with address 02703

Simple really...

Congratulations. That brings back painful memories. I don't miss the old PLC2/Function Key software at all.

I hear that. Fingers crossed they "upgrade" to a PLC5 soon so I don't have to support this dinosaur.
