Test and diagnostic functions

Once you have established communication between your programming device, on which the Programming Tool

PLC828 is installed, and a target system and have loaded a program into the target system, you can work with

the diagnostic functions of the Programming Tool PLC828 and test new programs as well as monitor programs

that are already being processed.

These help topics are subsequently described.

"Status" refers to the display of the actual values of addresses while executing the program in the target system.

You can display status information in a status chart or by switching-on the program status in the program editor.

An example for status information in the status chart and in the program editor of the Programming Tool PLC828

is shown in the following diagram:

Please note that unnecessary project components (e.g. the operation tree and the output

window) have been omitted, in order to provide more space to display the required

components (LAD program editor, status chart, function bar to test and symbol for the status

chart in the navigation bar). Using the menu "View", you can set-up the environment in the

Programming Tool PLC828 corresponding to your particular tasks, i.e. you can display just

the project components that you require.
