Step 6:
Using the Box
Browser
You are now ready for the output element on this rung. Move the cursor to the end of
the rung to position where you want the element placed. Placing data in memory is a
two step operation. First, load the data in the CPUs accumulator and then output it
into memory. To accomplish this, two output elements will be placed on this rung.
Start by entering the box instruction Load Accumulator that will load data into the
accumulator. Once the cursor is positioned, click on the Box icon of the Tool
Palette.

Step 8:
Now you see an input window that is very similar to the one used for entering the SP0
relay. It is waiting for you to type in the number to load in the Accumulator (recall from
Entering a Preset
in the Accumulator the program that you are using this first rung to enter the preset for the timer).
Type in a
number here
In this case use the number 10 as the preset. You will enter K10 (where the K means
constant). Again the green/red indicator inside the box will prompt you on whether
or not you have made a valid entry. It glows green if it is correct. Click on (3) when
you have typed in K10 and you “have the green light”.

Connecting
Elements in
Parallel
You are now ready to add a second box for this rung. It is going to be connected in
parallel,therefore, you will need to add a vertical connecting line. With the highlight
on the first box, hold down the control key and then press the down arrow (CTRL +
DOWN ARROW). This draws the connecting line you need. You could have also
performed the same thing from the upper menu bar by selecting: Edit/Wire/Down.
However, the arrow keys are faster.
Make sure the cursor is on the top element
before starting your vertical line.
Use CRL+Arrow
Down keys to add
a vertical line.

Enabling the
Documentation
Options
You could stop with this particular rung at this point and go onto the next rung of our
program. But in this example the idea is to make the program a little clearer to
anyone who may look at it later. To accomplish this, you are now going to learn how to
enter comments and nicknames for the program. Start by clicking on View from the
menu bar at the top. Then select Options. An options menu appears (see below).
Make sure nicknames and comments have been checked to ensure they will be
displayed on the screen once entered. Select the boxes next to Nicknames and
Comments to enable these options. Select OK when finished.
Step 13:
Entering a
Comment
First insert a comment above the rung. To do this, you can pull down the menu from
Tools, then select Comment Editor (Hotkey=CTRL + K). Either of these methods
will display the Edit Comments dialog box shown below.
