Hi,
In windows based GUI for PLC programming I have noticed that some of the softwares represent the ladder diagram
as multiple pages, each page with a predefined number of rungs. For example if a PLC program has 100 rungs, it is
represented in 10 pages with 10 rung in each page. The other approach is ofcourse to present all 100 rungs in a
single window with a scroll bar. The main advantage of this multiple page approach is that we can view multiple
parts of the program at the same time I think. Any other pros & cons of the above two approaches?
Iam developing an editor for PLC programs using Java Swing. Wondering which approach is more common.
