5.3 Statements and Notes
In a ladder program, statements and notes can be displayed.
Statements
By using statements, users can append comments to circuit blocks. Appending statements makes the processing flow easy to
understand.
Statements include line statements, P statements, and I statements.
A line statement can be displayed on a tree view of the Navigation window.
■Line statement
A comment is appended to a ladder block as a whole.
■P statement
A comment is appended to a pointer number.
■I statement
A comment is appended to an interrupt pointer number.
Notes
By using notes, users can append comments to coils and instructions in a program.
Appending notes makes the details of coils and application instructions easy to understand.

byte characters. Decimal fraction is rounded up.)
• Without character: 3 steps
• With character: 4 + (Number of characters + 2 + 14) / 5 + Number of characters (steps)
Peripheral • Line statement
• P statement
• I statement
•Note
