7.15.2 Checking input parameters
When generating the program, the parameters that are entered are already checked in order
to avoid making incorrect entries.
If a parameter is assigned an illegal value, this is indicated in the input screen and is
designated as follows:
●
The entry field has a colored background (background color, pink).
● A note is displayed in the comment line.
● If the parameter input field is selected using the cursor, the note is also displayed as
tooltip.
The programming can only be completed after the incorrect value has been corrected.
Incorrect parameter values are also monitored with alarms during the cycle runtime.
7.15.3 Setting data for technological functions
Technological functions can be influenced and corrected using machine or setting data.
For additional information, please refer to the following documentation:
