For several lessons now, we have been discussing different options for modifying input and output values during CPU scan cycles. In this lesson, we are going to show you how to modify the values of Timers, Counters, and memory bits. We will demonstrate why timer and counter values should use the “modify once” selection in order for the modification to function as intended. We also indicate which trigger option to use for which scenario when modifying memory bits. Let’s continue learning about value modification by starting this lesson.
This lesson is a continuation in our series of instruction on how to modify the values for inputs, outputs, timers and such during run-time of your PLC program. This lesson will offer instruction on how to modify the values for bytes, words, and double words. The process to modify these data type...
This lesson continues the discussion on about modifying the values of various datatypes in a watch table. This lesson will discuss the different types of permissible values for the different datatypes that you may encounter within the watch table. We indicate to you how to pull up a helpful menu ...
In several previous lessons we have been discussing modifying the values of various datatypes in a watch table. In this lesson we will introduce you to forcing. Forcing is similar to modifying with some subtle differences. One of those differences is when input or output addresses are forced, the...
