ACTION
3.3.5 Machine trigger on "PLC variable"
Function description
Complex logic operations and value comparisons for PLC variables can be set up
using machine triggers for "PLC variable". PLC conditions for "alarm group"
triggers are configured in the same way as triggers for "PLC variable".
Note
In order to be able to use "PLC variable" triggers, PLC conditions (for conditional
alarms) and PLC traces in monitors, the control must be set up accordingly (see
/R1/). If it has not been set up correctly, you can set these functions in the moni-
tors but you cannot activate them on the control.
You must also enter the settings for the data blocks used for the machine (see
Section 3.4 "Global settings").
