Chapter 14 Test Tools and Debugging Tools
If an X device needs to be operated when the program is tested, users can click on the toolbar
to enable the function of setting the X device. However, the state of the X device will not be updated
after the function is enabled.
After the online monitoring function is disabled, the function of setting the X device will not be
disabled automatically. As a result, be sure to disable the function of setting the X device before the
online monitoring function is disabled lest the state of the X device should not be updated during the
operation of the PLC.
Before the state of a contact is changed, users have to make sure that the operation
performed does not affect the operation of the system, or cause damage to the system or
the staff,
14.1.4 Monitoring a Program Online
In the program monitoring mode, users can change the state of a contact or the value in a register in
the program editing window. By means of changing the state of a contact or the value in a register,
users can debug or test the program. If users want to manipulate a device or an operand in a ladder
diagram or a function block diagram, they can click the device or the operand, right-click the device
or the operand, and select an item on the context menu. The items on the context menu vary with
the programming language used.
