12.22.20 Add All Forces to Watchlist
This command (category Online) is available in Online Mode when one of the watch
views Watch 1, Watch 2, Watch 3 or Watch 4 is active. It serves to add all currently
prepared or already forced variables of the active application to this watchlist. Notice
however that this works only for docked watch views.
Notice also the possibility to use the watch view Watch all Forces, which automatically
contains all currently prepared or forced values and additionally provides commands
for releasing the forces.
12.22.21 Release Forcelist
WARNING!
Extraordinary changes of variable values in an application currently running on a
controller can cause unwanted behaviour of the controlled system.
Evaluate possible dangers before Writing or Forcing of variables and make
appropriate security precautions.
Depending on the controlled system, damages to machine and parts could result, or
even health and life of persons could be endangered.
This command (category Online) is not per default available in any menu. It can be
used to release the forcing for all variables of the currently active application.
The variables will get the current value read from the PLC. This corresponds to option
'Release the force, without modifying the value.' , which can be activated in the
'Prepare Value' dialog for a forced variable.
12.22.22 Simulation
This command (category Online) is available in Online Mode to switch on and off the
simulation mode of the programming system. In simulation mode the application can
be run and debugged on a "simulation target" which is always available within the
programming system. So no real target device is needed to test the online behaviour of
an application.
If the command is called from the Online menu, the currently active application will be
concerned. If the command is called from the context menu when an application
object is selected in the device tree, then the selected application will be affected, no
matter whether it is set active.
When command Simulation' is activated ( ), the device entry in the
device tree will be displayed in italic letters and at the first login with the current
active application you will be asked whether application
"Sim.<devicename>.<applicationname>" should be created and loaded to the
simulation target. No communication settings have to be done.
