ABSTRACT:
The present invention is a method that provides productivity aids for developing, debugging, and troubleshooting ladder logic programs used in Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs). The present invention discloses methods for searching ladder logic programs of programmable logic controllers for instructions, addresses, and symbols. The user can select an address or symbol in the ladder logic program and display on a computer a cross-reference list for the selected address or symbol. The cross-reference list shows all ladder logic instructions, and their locations in the ladder logic program, that use the selected address or symbol. An instruction location can be selected from the cross-reference list and the corresponding point in the ladder logic program will be displayed on the computer.
