I just read this article at MrPLC.com
http://www.mrplc.com/kb/index.php?page=index_v2&id=25&c=11
I guess I must be one of the old-timers that never uses symbols.
I think the reason I don't use them is after writing hundreds of programs since the dark ages (relay logic), I have a system that works for me and I stick with it.
For example N10 for PID words, T4:0 for a flasher timer, B3:0/0 for system running. Bit 0 is always valve 1, bit 1 valve 2 and so on.
How many of you use symbols or do it the old way? Is it to late for me to change or should I consider going to one of those 10 step classes.
Merry Christmas,
Mark
PS: Again I have to work during the holidays, customer downtime is our upgrade time.
