Thanks Per Olof Dear Per Olof, You have option of generating and using "Cross refrence". See the attachment for a hint.Use online manual of step7 for more help. Also possible to use "Go to location" capability of LAD/STL/FBD editor for a easier search facility while program tracking! Best regards, Hamid Hosseini Attachment refrence.jpg (2261 Downloads)

I can only select Network/Row. Dear Per Olof, Simply select a global address such as memories and then right click then select the "Go to location". Also possible to access from edit->go to -> location(Ctrl+ALT+Q). I hope this helps Best regards, Hamid Hosseini

Data available in database of reference data can be search via "Go to location". Best regards, Hamid Hosseini Attachment filter.jpg (832 Downloads)
