Testing application on controller
Previous: Transferring application to controller
-
Keep the →perspective Application Testing opened.
If you want to monitor the value of the variables within the FBD-editor or ST-viewer as well, go to the function block or the program from within the Instances view. This sets the necessary →instance context. -
In Values of Variables view, monitor the values and the behavior of the already inserted variables, after the application has been loaded onto the PLC.
-
The variable
count
starts with value0
. The value is incremented by value1
(in each cycle). -
The variable
up
shows valueTRUE
and is not changed.
-
-
Change the value for the variable
count
of data typeINT
as follows: Double-click the column Value. In the dialog, enter the new value-200
and click .
Result: The variablecount
is still incremented, but increment start is value-200
. -
Change the value for the variable
up
of data typeBOOL
as follows: Double-click the column Value and click at once. (TheBOOL
valueFALSE
is automatically suggested in the dialog.)
Result: The variableup
shows valueFALSE
. The value of the variablecount
is decremented by value1
(in each cycle). -
Monitor the values for the variables, while you are stopping and starting the execution resp. the integrated PLC.
Result: After stopping, the values are not updated anymore. After starting, the variables are displayed/updated again as after loading the application.-
In order to stop/start the execution: Click in the Instances view. Then click in the Instances view.
-
In order to stop/start the integrated PLC: In menu PLC, first select the command Stop Built-In PLC. Then select the command Start Built-In PLC (in menu PLC as well).

-
Close the perspective Application Testing: menu Window, command Close Perspective
