main window. To access the Status Chart, double-click the icon, or click the Restore or
Maximize button on the icon (in Windows 95).
You can use the Status Chart to read or write variables in your program. You cannot force
values in the PDS 210.
Reading and Writing Variables with the Status Chart
Figure 2-13 shows an example of a Status Chart. To read or write variables using the Status
Chart, follow these steps:
1. In the first cell in the Address column, enter the address or the symbol name of an
element from your program that you want to read or write, and press ENTER. Repeat this
step for all additional elements you want in the chart.
2. If the element is a bit (I, Q, or M, for example), the format is set as bit in the Format
column. If the element is a word, select the cell in the Format column and double-click or
press the SPACEBAR to cycle through the valid formats.
3. To view the current PLC value of the elements in your chart, click the Single Read
button
or the Continuous Read button
on the Status Chart.
You can click the Stop Read button
to stop the updating of status.
4. To change a value, enter the new value in the Change Value to column and click the
