‘Insert’ ‘Parallel Contact’ in LD

Symbol: Shortcut: <Ctrl>+<R>

Use this command in the LD editor to insert a Contact parallel to the marked position in the network.

If the Cursor Positions in the LD Editors is a Coil or the connection between the contacts and the coils, then the new contact will be connected in parallel to the entire previous contact connection.

The contact is preset with the text “???”. You can click on this text and change it to the desired variable or the desired constant. For this you can also use the ‘Edit’ ‘Input Assistant’.

For the possibility of entering addresses, of linebreaks for variable names and of comments per contact or coil please see the description of the Ladder Options dialog.
