Forcing Outputs ON/OFF
Outputs can be forced ON/OFF if there is no direct conflict with the program. To force an
Output On, proceed to the position where the Output name and number are flashing and press
the “OK” key. A solid rectangle will appear underneath the block number to signify that the
block is ON.
Input pins will have a smaller solid block next to their arrow to show that they are activated. In
the block at right, the Delay output pins are ON, along with the input and output pins for the
system Output O01.
An example of a block that cannot be forced follows.
Ex. Output O01 is connected to System Bit M01. M01 is constantly ON, therefore Output O01
is constantly ON and cannot be forced OFF.
