Force

3-30
Through forcing, you can force input and output signals.
Actual input signals or status changes by program are
ignored and replaced by the force values.
Warning
High acceleration forces of the connected actuators.
Uncontrolled actuator movements can cause collisions
which can lead to serious injury.
Be very careful when forcing in order to avoid undesired
•
movements of the actuators.
Make sure that nobody enters the sphere of influence of
•
the drives or other connected actuators.
The following options are available for forcing:
– Handheld type CPX-MMI
– Front unit controller
– Higher-order controller
You can define with the CPX terminal if forcing will be
possible after the system start.
For additional information about forcing, refer to the
CPX system description (CPX-SYS-...).
