Logic programming – Function blocks
While the simulation is running you can set an input to High by clicking on it. High
inputs will be displayed green with a blue frame. Another click will set the input back to
Low again.
When the simulation is stopped, it is possible to select inputs to switch at the next
possible moment. When clicking on an input in stopped mode, a blue box will appear
around it denoting that it is ready to switch at the next cycle of the simulation. This
makes it possible to switch one or more elements at the same time and see their
direct effect on the logic.
After activation of the desired inputs, the simulation must be continued either by
pressing the green Start button or by using one of the time increment buttons in order
for the logic and outputs to switch accordingly.
If the EDM or the Valve monitoring function block is being used, it is recommended to
remove them from the logic before simulating. These function blocks expect a high
signal on their feedback input within 300 ms of their associated output being activated.
This can only be simulated by using small increments and not in real time.
