Select Before Operate Control of Virtual Selector Switches
The state of each virtual selector switch can be controlled at the human-machine interface (HMI) through
Screens 2.1.1 through 2.1.4. Control is also possible through the ASCII command interface by using the
select-before-operate command’s CS-x43 (control select-virtual switch) and CO-x43 (operate select-
virtual switch). This is not possible through BESTCOMS. A state change takes place immediately without
having to execute an EXIT – SAVE settings command.
The virtual switch control commands require the use of select-before-operate logic. First, the command
must be selected using the CS-x43 command. After the select command is entered, there is a 30 second
window during which the CO-x43 control command will be accepted. The control selected and the
operation selected must match exactly or the operate command will be blocked. If the operate command
is blocked an error message is output.
