NOTE
1 Condense mode
Condense mode has the following advantages.
• Reduced compilation time.
• Reduced transfer time from a personal computer to
the PMC.
• The mode requires little ROM space.
On the other hand, the following restrictions must be
observed:
• When data is edited by an integrated edit function,
and if a ladder or symbol is added, overlapping with
the C language area might occur. Pay careful
attention to this point.
2 Net comment pointer
The net comment contains string information only in a
source program. The compiled object code does not
include the net comment information. Therefore, the
setting to output the "net comment pointer" (position
information of a net comment) as a function NOP to
object code was developed. This position information
enables the net comment to be restored at decompilation
after a ladder is modified by online editing.
3 Symbol comment data
A relay comment, which is a type of symbol comment
data, is not included in a compiled object code. For
details, see Section 3.7.1, " Symbol and Comment Data."
4 PMC-SB7
On PMC-SB7, the "Condense" and "Ignore too long
strings of the symbol" options are enabled
unconditionally.
