All force on or all force off functions can be removed at once in ladder
diagram display by breaking communications between the T3 industrial
terminal and the processor or by pressing either of the following
sequences:
[FORCE ON] [CLEAR MEMORY]
[FORCE OFF] [CLEAR MEMORY]
The on or off status of a forced bit will appear beneath the bit instruction in
the rung.
In all processor modes, a FORCED I/O message will be displayed near the
bottom of the screen when bits are forced on or off. In every mode except
the program mode, on or off will be displayed below each forced
instruction.
NOTE: The on or off status of Output Latch/Unlatch instructions is
also displayed below the instruction. However, this is displayed only in
program mode.
If the industrial terminal or processor is disconnected or loses AC power,
or the [MODE SELECT] key is pressed, all force functions are cleared.
WARNING: When an energized output is being forced off,
keep personnel away from the machine area. Accidental
removal of force functions, such as by accidentally
disconnecting the industrial terminal power or interconnect
cables or by pressing the [MODE SELECT] key, will instantly
turn on the output device. Damage to equipment and/or personal
injury could result.
A complete list of bit addresses that are forced on and off can be displayed
by the industrial terminal. Either of the following key sequences can be
used as needed:
[SEARCH] [FORCE ON]
[SEARCH] [FORCE OFF]
If all the bits forced on or off cannot be displayed at one time, the [SHIFT]
[
↓
] and [SHIFT] [
↑
] keys can be used to display additional forced bits.
To terminate this display, press [CANCEL COMMAND].
