Add a common header to Structured Text routines

Use a common header to automatically add text to the beginning of new Structured Text routines.
To add a common header to Structured Text routines:
  1. Click
    Tools
     >
    Options
     to open the
    Workstation Options
     dialog box.
  2. Click the
    Structured Text Editor
     category.
  3. To open a text box editor, select
    Include Header on Create
    .
    The text box is pre-populated with information blocks: <Company Information>, <Developer Name>, <Routine Name>, <Description>, and <Date>.
    The blocks are filled in automatically from the company name provided when the
    Logix Designer
     application is installed, the name of the user who created the routine, the routine name and description, and the current date. However, if you replace one of the information blocks with text that you type, that information block is not automatically updated. For example, if you replace <Routine Name> with Routine A, then Routine A appears in every header.
    You can also change the layout of the header, including the placement or order of the information blocks.
  4. Click
    Apply
    to save the header text.
  5. Click
    OK
     to apply the changes for new routines.
