Abstract

See full text

A method and system for generating a control program executable by an industrial controller, wherein a source program is displayed using a variable width ladder diagram. Instructions of a source program are received by a host computer, wherein the source program is compilable into the control program. A ladder diagram representative of at least one of the instructions of the source program is displayed on a display device. The ladder diagram comprises a graphical interconnection of schematic elements, at least one of which having a corresponding display width which is variable. The corresponding display width is varied in dependence upon the greater of a corresponding symbol display width and a corresponding label display width. A method and system for data communication with the industrial controller uses a hybrid error detection code. Each transmitted packet of data is augmented with either a Fletcher checksum code if the length of the packet is less than a predetermined packet length threshold, or a CCITT-16 cyclic redundancy check code if the length of the packet is greater than or equal to the predetermined packet length threshold.
