Programming the SMLC

CoDeSys - Testing the program - Estop state

•

We can see
that the inputs
are true and
the machine
state was set
to HOMING.

•

The motors should home and the
machine state will switch to
MANUAL when homing is complete.

•

PLC_PRG should then appear as it
does at right.

•

Note that the blue indicates that
ErrorCheck and EveryScan are
running as well as Manual
