Description

Purpose
You read or write access values of the connected PLC directly in the status force view. The
status force view allows you to carry out operations such as monitoring or modifying the
addresses of the PLC program without the need of an online connection via PC or PU.
Note
The status force view can only be used in combination with SIMATIC S5 or SIMATIC S7
PLCs.
Layout
The screen shows the general layout of the status force screen object. Every row represents
an address.
If your HMI device has a mouse or a touch screen, you can change the column sequence on
the HMI device. For example, to interchange the format and control value columns, drag the
control value header to the format header.
The table shows the meaning of the individual columns.
