Forced I/O Function

Inputs can be forced on/off regardless of the status of physical inputs, and outputs can be forced on/off regardless of the ladder
logic using the forced I/O function in WindLDR. The force input function can be used to monitor or online edit mode to test the
ladder logic without the need of wiring the input terminals or turning on the actual inputs. The force output function can be used
to turn on/off the outputs to the external devices.
The forced I/O may cause unexpected operation of the FC6A Series MICROSmart. Make sure of safety before forcing inputs

or outputs.
Devices
All the inputs and outputs of the FC6A Series MICROSmart can be forced on/off individually.

Forced I/O Status
Events of the FC6A Series MICROSmart and effects on the forced I/O settings are shown below.
When the FC6A Series MICROSmart starts running
When the FC6A Series MICROSmart is stopped.
When the FC6A Series MICROSmart is powered up
When user program download is executed
When Reset Input is turned on
When Clear All Devices is executed in the PLC Status dialog
box of WindLDR
When the system software download is executed
Note: Force function has no effect on high-speed counters, catch inputs, or interrupt inputs. The stop or reset input can be initiated using the force
function, but the force settings will be cleared as soon as the reset input is turned on.
Checking Forced I/O Function Execution State
The forced I/O function status (running or stopped) can be checked with WindLDR or with the FC6A Series MICROSmart run LED [RUN].
Details on the run LED [RUN] that shows the forced I/O function status are as follows.

The force settings are retained. The forced inputs and outputs are kept on/off
even after the FC6A Series MICROSmart is stopped, regardless of the status
of M8025 (maintain outputs while FC6A Series MICROSmart is stopped).
The force settings are retained, but the force is suspended. If the battery is
dead, the force settings are cleared.
The force settings are retained, and whether the force will be suspended or
not can be selected in the Download Program dialog box.
The force settings are cleared.
