Improved Function Block Functions
Monitoring ST Programs in Function Blocks
Password Protection of Function Blocks
Previous version (Ver. 6.0)
New version (Ver. 6.1)
The CX-Simulator could be used to execute a
ladder program step (Step Run), execute steps
continuously (Continuous Step Run), execute a
single cycle (Scan Run), and set I/O break point
conditions.
The Step Run, Continuous Step Run, Scan Run, and Set/Clear Break
Point functions can be executed as CX-Programmer functions.
All of these functions can be used with ladder programs and ladder/ST
programs in function blocks.
Note
The CX-Simulator Ver. 1.6 (sold separately) must be installed in
order to use these functions.
Note
I/O break conditions cannot be set.
Previous version (Ver. 6.0)
New version (Ver. 6.1)
The operation of ST programs within function
block instances could not be monitored while
monitoring the program online.
(It was possible to check the contents of a func-
tion block definition’s program and monitor the I/
O status of a function block instance’s ladder
diagram.)
The status of a function block instance’s ST program can be monitored
while monitoring the program.
To monitor the ST program’s status, either double-click the function
block instance or right-click the instance and select
Monitor FB
Instance
from the pop-up menu. At this point, it will be possible to
change PVs and force-set/reset bits.
Note
Online editing is not supported.
Previous version (Ver. 6.0)
New version (Ver. 6.1)
The function block properties could be set to
prevent the display of a function block defini-
tion’s program.
The following two kinds of password protection can be set.
• Password protection restricting both reading and writing.
