I am using the Omron C200HS to control an injection molding machine. In my molding process there are about a dozen different processes in a loop where I use the parts catcher on the machine to trigger the restart for the loop of the program. My issue is when the same machine status can occur in different parts of the loop. Currently, in my ladder logic, I use the KEEP function and of course timers TIM to keep track and index where in the loop the program is. The problem is that the KEEP command takes at least two vertical lines and the TIM requires three lines. I understand that an implied OR takes at least two lines. However, I would like to compact my algorithm down to about two screen pages making it easy to troubleshoot. Other than the numbers on the KEEP and TIM, is there a cleaner method to index each process? Thank you.

or if using CX programmer to program the logic - goto the TOOLS menu -> options. on the "diagram" tab select "show output instructions horizontally. the KEEP will still be two lines, however the TIM will be one. (Or ladder show as mnemonics, that will certainly compress it although make it harder for the uninitiated to debug..)
