Title: ladder edit question
Post by: cch1955 on October 20, 2014, 09:47:22 AM

If I have several contacts on a single rung and I wish to add a single contact that "bridges" or parallels the series contacts (effectively removing the series contact state from the rung) . I don't seem to be able to find the method for creating such a contact or editing a contact to get this result.

Thanks

You should be able to use the shortcut Key 5 (or click on the 3rd contact icon from the left) which let you create a contact that can connect in parallel to multiple series contacts. You move the cursor to the rightmost contact in the series and press enter to complete the circuit creation.

In the follow diagram, In3 is created to connect in parallel and envelop both In1 and In2. The menu is displayed again for clarity.

Thanks for this simple refresher in basic ladder editing. I knew I had done this in the past but just had a mind block on the details.
