Instance DB
Indicating the Modes
The modes component is saved in the instance DB as follows:
Structure
Name
MOPEDGE
MOP
Example:
By setting MOP.MAN once, the mode changes to MANUAL. This can be set either
controlled by the program (for example action in the sequencer) or by the PG
function "Modify Variable" or using an operator panel.
Activation Time
The following component consists of a structure containing information about the
activation time calculation. This is only evaluated internally by the system.
Structure
Name
TICKS
Group Bits
The last component of a sequencer status area contains group bits that monitor the
internal sequencer status. A structure is created as follows for these group bits:
Name
ERR_FLT
ERROR
FAULT
RT_FAIL
NO_SNO
NF_OFL
SA_OFL
