Using the SFC editor

The SFC editor appears in the Routine window of Logix Designer and is the development environment for writing SFC routines. Within an SFC routine, the SFC elements are created in an area called a sheet, and the sizes of the sheets directly correspond with the standard metric or English printer page sizes (similar to the Function Block diagram sheets). This allows the sheets to be easily printed, presented, and even signed like a typical engineering drawing. It is helpful to think of each sheet as a drawing paper for a single device. Unlike Function Block diagram sheets, you cannot divide your SFC into multiple named sheets. However, the SFC routine is not limited in size as a Function Block routine is. You can expand the size of the SFC routine to have up to 175 x 175 cross-reference grid blocks. An SFC routine can span multiple sheets horizontally and vertically. The specified sheet size makes it easier to organize the way the SFC routine appears when printed...
