Faceplates for Program Elements
Faceplates provide detailed information about selected ladder elements. To call up a
faceplate, click on a program element. Counter faceplates must be accessed from the
counter display and not from file instruction elements.
TLL I/O Point Faceplate
The TLL I/O Point faceplate allows you to debug segments by specifying states for
the AC parameter of I/O points.
Search: Use this field to specify an element you wish to find
within the Segment display starting with the currently
open segment or the first segment if none are open.
To find an element, select the search field and enter the
name of the element you want to find. If you do not know
the full name, enter as much of the name as you know.
Click on the right arrow button to search forward or on
the left arrow button to search backward. The item you
put into the Search field stays there until you replace it
with a new item. Changing the search item causes the
search to start at the beginning of the segment, if open.
If an item is found in a closed segment, you are asked if
you want to search in that segment. Selecting No ends
the search. The search does not wrap back to the first
segment. To start from the beginning, open the first
segment and start the search.
Segment Buttons Use the segment box to switch between the compressed
and expanded segment view. In compressed view, no
rungs are displayed and no data access for that segment
occurs. In expanded view, all rungs for the segment are
visible, and all data access to support the segment is
enabled.
By default, all segments are closed. Only one segment
can be open at a time. The ability to open all segments is
not implemented to prevent communication overload.
TLL faceplate values may update while the user is modifying the edit (text) box
fields.
