Simple Application Controllers
6.7.2
Turn Signals On/Off
Input and Key Signals can be forced On/Off momentarily but the existing program conditions
will quickly overwrite the force. The force will activate blocks that are time or count based (Alt,
Pulse, Counter, One Shot, Set/Reset, etc) but will not have an effect on Logic Blocks or
Functions having an Input Signal that must remain ON (E.g. the Delay, Flicker, Display, Gain,
etc).
System Memory (M) bits cannot be manipulated in the Monitor Mode.
6.7.3
Change Function Block Parameters
Function Block parameters can be changed by double clicking on the function block. Change
the parameters as desired and click the OK box to accept. The new values will be shown
onscreen and any change to the program settings will be performed. TheTimeSw cannot be
edited during the Monitor mode.
6.7.4
Force Outputs On/Off
Outputs can be forced On/Off momentarily but the existing program parameters will quickly
overwrite the force. The force will activate blocks that are time or count based (ALT, PULSE,
COUNTER, ONE SHOT,...) but will not have an effect on Logic Blocks or Functions that have
an Input Signal that must remain ON (E.g.. the Delay, Flicker, Display, etc).
6.7.5
Inactive Functions during Monitor Mode
The File, Edit, Insert, and Tools Menu will be deactivated along with the Accessories, Wiring,
and Drawing Toolbars. No program editing in regards to adding, deleting, wiring, or moving any
system components can take place while in Monitor Mode.
6.7.6
Exiting the Monitor Mode
User can stop the Monitoring and switch to Program Mode either by clicking the Monitoring
button present in the Controller tool bar or by selecting the Monitor/Test Stop command in the
Controller Menu.
If during the course of monitoring the controller contents are updated using the front panel
keys, a message box will appear stating that controller contents are updated and monitoring
will be stopped. The application will automatically switch to Program mode.
