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 and is designated
as follows:
● The entry field has a colored background (background color, pink).
● A note is displayed in the comment line.
● If the parameter input field is selected using the cursor, the not is also displayed as tooltip.
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.
8.9.4

Programming variables

In principle, variables or expressions can also be used in the input fields of the screen forms
instead of specific numeric values. In this way, programs can be created very flexibly.
