Testing with watch tables
The following functions are available in the watch table:
●
Monitoring of tags
With watch tables, you can monitor the current values of individual tags of a user program
or a CPU on the PG/PC and Web server. For the Web server to be able to display the
value of tags, you must specify a symbolic name for each tag in the "Name" column of the
watch table.
You can monitor the following operand areas:
–
Inputs and outputs (process image) and bit memory
–
Contents of data blocks
–
Peripheral inputs and peripheral outputs
–
Timers and counters
●
Modifying tags
Use this function to assign fixed values to the individual tags of a user program or CPU.
Modifying is also possible for testing with program status.
You can control the following operand areas:
–
Inputs and outputs (process image) and bit memory
–
Contents of data blocks
–
Peripheral inputs and peripheral outputs (for example, %I0.0:P, %Q0.0:P)
–
Timers and counters
●
"Enable peripheral outputs" and "Control immediately"
These two functions enable you to assign fixed values to individual peripheral outputs of
a CPU in the STOP mode. You can also use them to check your wiring.
