How to change the instruction RET (return from subroutine), can't edit

[CFBFP]

Hi

 

at the end of each subroutine in the ladder program you find "RET". You can't move it to the right or place it somewhere else.

I want to conditionally return from a subroutine, but I can't move this object to insert a condition.

Why is it? How then to conditionally return from a subroutine?

The one listed in the subroutine may be required by the software, but you should be able to add additional RETs to the subroutine.

 

Have you tried adding an additional rung with your conditions and adding a second RET function to it?

 

Reference Page 34 of the Ladder Programming PDF, or the help system in visilogic shows an example of what I mean.

I'm curious as to the logic you are using that would require a conditional RET? This invites the possibility of a Watchdog Timer alarm. You might consider a variation with conditional CALL of the Subroutine instead.
