Introduction
Recap of the possibilities offered by PL7
Application specific debugging screen
Axes control, being integrated into the PL7 program, uses the PL7 debugging functions. l l l
Real time display and animation of the program.
For example, in Grafcet language, if you program each movement in a step, it will be easy to know which movement is in progress.
Inserting program breakpoints and execution points: cycle by cycle, network by network or statement by statement.
Accessing animation tables. This allows you to display the status words and bits and control the command bits for the SMOVE. You can also force object bits and block the Grafcet development.
The PL7 software also offers you a application specific debugging screen specific to the TSX CFY modules, which gives you access to all necessary information and commands:
