Checking cycle parameters

The entered parameters are already checked during the program creation in order to avoid
faulty entries.
If a parameter is assigned an illegal value, this is indicated in the input screen as follows:
● The entry field is displayed with a colored background (orange).
● The comment line displays a note.
● If the parameter entry field is selected with the cursor, the note is also displayed as a tool tip.
The programming can only be completed after the incorrect value has been corrected.
Faulty parameter values are also monitored with alarms during the cycle runtime.
