Why would a programmer put all these instances of %S0007, always on, in a rung? There are lots of cases of this in this program.
I've also encountered many instances where the exact same rung is pasted six to eight times in a row in the program where each rung has -] [-%S0008 (always off) programmed as the first instruction, so the rungs do absolutely nothing but they are duplicated.
Is there some quirk about LM90 that a programmer would to this, say maybe to make online editing easier or something?
Or was this maybe a programmer who billed by rungs of code padding his bill?
This is a 290 rung program for a task that I think is worth maybe 50-60 rungs tops.
