How to change the zoom percentage when printing and is there an "or out' instruction with CLICK

Is there a was to change the percentage of zoom when printing out ladder diagrams for CLICK. I only see an option for 100% or 75%.

Also is there an "or out" instruction similar to that in a DL06?

Also not to be greedy, but is there an easy way to add more RS 232 ports?

    Hi The Smashing Electrons

    There is currently no way to change the percent. It is either 100 or 75. You could print landscape to give you more room on the page.

    I have not worked much with the DL06, but the "or out" would be something like this in the click:

    Click PLC Or OutThe only way to add more RS232 ports would be to network additional Click CPUs together.

    More about the "or out"

    The Or Out instruction allows more than one rung of discrete logic to

    control a single output. Multiple Or Out instructions referencing the

    same output coil may be used, since all contacts controlling the output

    are logically OR’d together. If the status of any rung is on, the output will

    also be on.

    This was taken from the DL06 manual.

    Hopefully there is a way to do this with CLICK ?

      There is no "or out" in Click. The only "work around" is to have each of the rungs where you'd wish an "or out" instead output to a separate C-bits and a final rung with parallel ORs of their contacts to your output.

       

      As a side note, some coders I know HATE "or outs." Troubleshooting becomes a bear when you have an output operating unexpectedly not knowing the previous coder used them. Based on their experience, you'd be better served to not use an "or out" because the code you're attempting to decipher 10-years after invention - that is working unexpectedly - was first coded by you.

        Good to know.

        Thanks Todd

    If you absolutely HAVE to have an OROUT form then place an UNLATCH of the output at the very beginning of the scan and use a LATCH in the multiple rungs which actuate the output.

      Thanks. Great explanation as always.

      I did not know this. Bernie to the rescue. I would point out for clarity, in Click, "latch" is SET, and "unlatch" is RESET.
