Where can a comment be placed in MOV_ steps?

• A. A comment may be added to any MOV_ step instruction in DETAIL EDIT; separated by //.
• B. Only at the end of the program.
• C. Only after a TIMER instruction.
• D. Only in the memory buffer.

Answer: (A)

In this context, comments are intended to accompany each motion step directly where the action happens. You can attach a comment to any MOV_ step in DETAIL EDIT by starting the line after the instruction with //, and the comment is ignored by the controller. This per-step commenting keeps documentation close to the corresponding action, making maintenance and debugging much easier without altering how the move is executed. For example, you might write a move like MOVL P[1] V1000 // approach target point 1 with a gentle entry, so the note explains the intent of that specific instruction. This approach is flexible and not restricted to the end of the program, after a TIMER instruction, or to a memory buffer; the inline per-step method supports clear, step-by-step annotations throughout the program.
