Basic Question about Simatic Step 7 "interface"

[trainee_plc]

how can i easly change a normal contact to a negeting contact in the program?




exampel : -| |- ---> -|\|- it is not dubbel click on the contact like it is in ather programs.

any one knows?

sems very clumsy to have to delete the contact and add a new one every time.

Pressing the INSERT key will toggle between "insert mode" and "overwrite mode"
In insert mode F2 and F3 squeeze a new contact into you network.
In overwrite mode F2 and F3 will overwrite the selected contact with a new contact but will retain the address.

Press Ctrl+2 to go to IL view.
add an "N" after the contact in question
Press Ctrl+1 to return to Ladder view.

Good luck,
