plcdp Posted March 15, 2011 Report Posted March 15, 2011 Hello, I am probably just missing something here but for some reason using GX Works 2, when I look at a list of used devices I don't get comments. Anyone know why that might be? Thanks very much, plcdp
kaare_t Posted March 15, 2011 Report Posted March 15, 2011 Screenshot?? Also: What version are you using?
plcdp Posted March 15, 2011 Author Report Posted March 15, 2011 Sorry, having a hard time getting a screenshot, the version is 1.24A. See below...not a screen shot but basically what I get when I do a device list. Device Contact Coil (times) Parameter Comment D1000 "" "" "" "" D1001 * *( 1 ) * "" D1002 * *( 1 ) * "" D1003 * *( 1 ) * "" D1004 * *( 1 ) * "" D1005 * *( 1 ) * "" D1006 * "" * "" D1007 * *( 1 ) * "" D1008 "" "" "" "" D1009 "" "" "" "" D1010 "" "" "" "" D1011 "" "" "" "" D1012 "" "" "" "" D1013 "" "" "" "" D1014 "" "" "" "" D1015 "" "" "" "" D1016 "" "" "" "" D1017 "" "" "" "" D1018 "" "" "" "" D1019 "" "" "" "" D1020 "" *( 5 ) * "" D1021 "" *( 2 ) "" "" D1022 * "" * "" D1023 * "" "" "" D1024 * *( 1 ) "" "" D1025 * "" "" "" D1026 * *( 1 ) "" "" D1027 "" "" "" "" D1028 "" "" "" "" D1029 "" "" "" "" D1030 * *( 1 ) "" "" D1031 * *( 2 ) "" "" D1032 * *( 2 ) "" "" D1033 * *( 2 ) "" "" D1034 "" *( 2 ) "" "" D1035 "" "" "" "" D1036 "" "" "" "" D1037 "" "" "" "" D1038 "" "" "" "" D1039 "" "" "" ""
Mitsu Posted March 16, 2011 Report Posted March 16, 2011 (edited) Had a quick look and was wondering: are you entering your comments in Local Device Comment or Global Device Comment? Local Device comments don't appear in the list of used devices, global device comments do. I always use Global Device Comment so i don't know if that can be changed. Edited March 16, 2011 by Mitsu
Crossbow Posted March 18, 2011 Report Posted March 18, 2011 Are you putting the comments in the global list or are you putting the comments in the label list? Label list comments will not show there.
plcdp Posted March 18, 2011 Author Report Posted March 18, 2011 I am entering the comments as I go along writing the ladder. I assume this is putting them in the label list. Is there any way to import the label list to the global list? Thanks for the replies. plcdp
Crossbow Posted March 18, 2011 Report Posted March 18, 2011 Check the label list, and see if they are there. Check the global comment list and see if they are there. Easy enough to determine. There is an option setting to set both the comments and the label comments. Tool menu, Options. In the tree pick Program Editor, then Ladder, then Comment.
plcdp Posted March 18, 2011 Author Report Posted March 18, 2011 (edited) Thank you for the help. I tried this and the option is not there. The only options I have there are comment display items and comment display format. plcdp Edited March 18, 2011 by plcdp
Mitsu Posted March 19, 2011 Report Posted March 19, 2011 According to the manual, there is an option (as crossbow said): Comments created on the ladder editor are set as device comments specified in "Reference of Device Comment" under [Tool] ? [Options] ? "Program Editor" ? "Ladder/SFC" ? "Comment". I can't check now since i'm not at work. Maybe it was added in a newer version. I strongly recommend to upgrade your version anyway because some nice things have been added since 1.24.
