Creating Configuration Data Section 6-2
Page and Jump Tags
A program can be created using up to 16 pages. Programming can be created
for better legibility and analysis by dividing pages according to functions like
emergency stops and controller status monitoring or according to location,
such as robot A and control panel B. Jump tags (64 jumps max.) are used to
transfer data between pages.
Search Functionality
Search functionality is included to aid program analysis.
■ Searching for Used I/O Tags
I/O tags that are being used are displayed in bold text in the I/O tag list. When
you double-click one of these, the display will jump to the page where the tag
is used, and the I/O tag will flash red. Also, when you double-click a jump tag,
the display jumps to the linked jump tag.
■ Searching for Text Strings
You can search for an I/O tag or function block using a text string by selecting
Find from the Edit Menu. When you double-click the search results, the dis-
play will jump to the page where the I/O tag or function block is used, and the
I/O tag or function block will flash red.
■ Searching for Program Error Locations
Build errors are displayed in the Output Window. When you click on an error,
the display will jump to the relevant page, and the relevant I/O tag or function
block will flash red.
User-defined Function Blocks
You can combine combinations of function blocks into one user-defined func-
tion block. Converting frequently used combinations into user-defined function
blocks enables creating program components and standardization. It also
improves programming efficiency. Refer to 6-5 Creating and Using User-
defined Function Blocks for details.
Programming Precautions
This section describes the minimum cautions to keep in mind when program-
ming.
Building Programs
Programs created using the G9SP Configurator are converted to download-
able data when the program is built. Building is executed automatically when
downloading starts, but it can also be executed manually to check the pro-
gram. (Select Build from the Edit Menu or click the Icon.) The program
capacity and program execution sequence (described below) are also
updated when the program is built.
Program Size
You can check the size of the program at any time at the bottom of the display.
Be careful not to exceed the maximum sizes (i.e., the denominators).
The GUI size is the size of the information required to display programs. This
information includes information on function block locations, text boxes, etc.
