Forcing

Forcing describes the intervention of the user in the logic of the
application program loaded into the controller. When data is forced,
the controller uses the forced values rather than its process values.
This changes the value of one or more signals and affects the safety of
the controller.

Only signals used in the controller can be forced. The application
program and the inputs and outputs are only affected when the
controller is in RUN mode.

The R-Value (Resource Value)
column displays the current
values of the signals.

ATTENTION

When using forcing on a controller with safety tasks,
always obey the restrictions listed in the GuardPLC
Controller Systems Safety Reference Manual,
publication number 1753-RM002.
