Hello, I am using productivity PLCs almost exclusively these days, having made the switch from being an Omron guy. One feature I miss is is that CX Programmer would tell me upon compile if any design rules had been violated (such as duplicate coils). I would love to see a configurable DRC (Design Rules Check) implemented in P-suite where I could set up alerts for things like multiple coils, tags without comments, etc. Things that aren't egregious enough to cause a compile error, but things which violate a set of "best practice " rules that I can define.
