Programming Examples
The OP--414 allows you to force a setpoint to a value from the PLC.
In order to force a setpoint to a value, place the value into register XM+12 (and M+13
if BCD long). Then set the FSP and bit(s) corresponding to the setpoint(s) to be
forced. When the panel has completed the force operation, it clears registers M+12,
M+13 and M+14.
The example below shows setpoint 4 (FP4 is set), as a BCD long with 7 places after
the decimal, being forced to 9.2345678 when C75 is active.
Notice that C75 is used as a set/reset type relay. The force command should be
written to the force register once. The OP--414 will automatically clear this register
when the force is complete. This will normally happen in less than a second. The
PLC program can verify operation, if necessary, by checking the status of the
registers to be cleared by the panel (M+12, M+13 and M+14).
To force a setpoint that is configured as Binary, only use the force data cell. The force
data cell 2 is ignored by the panel.
NOTE:
The Force Option must be selected (in OP--WINEDIT) in order to force
setpoints.
