Hey fellas,
Our facility is still mainly PLC 5 and SLC, but we do have one, recently updated system with a ControlLogix processor. The tech guys are familiar with and able to use the various search functions in the older software, 5 and 500, but when it comes to 5000 they get frustrated, so I've been asked to give them a little demo/lesson. Problem is that it's been a long time since I went to the training and the system this processor runs is very reliable so even I'm rusty.
Our WW Intouch HMIs are set up so that alarm tagnames are identical to symbol names in the PLC5s and tags in the CLX, so the first thing they look for in the logic is that alarm tag. Any hints, tips or tricks to finding things quickly in RSLogix 5000? Do you know of any good online references?
One specific Q. I remember using this before but have forgotten. What's the quick key to flip back and forth between ladder listing and cross reference windows in RSL5000?
