I'm having to rewire my assembly, and it will require me to change the input/output addresses. Does click software have a method to use variables? That would be very helpful, but I can't find support for it in the manual. Regards

    What I 've seen recommended is to have a series of rungs right at the top of your program which "wire " each I/O address to a C address, and to use that C address throughout your program rather than the actual I/O address. That way, you only have to change the I/O addresses in one place when you physically re-wire your system.

    For example:

    -----|X1|----------------------OUT(C1)

    -----|X2|----------------------OUT(C2)

    -----|C101|------------------- OUT(Y1)

    -----|C102|------------------- OUT(Y2)

    ...etc.
