Online Editing Functions
You can test your ladder program modifications made during an online editing
session before assembling them into the ladder program. When you test your edits,
the processor scans the edited program; rungs marked with insert edit zone markers
are executed and all rungs marked with replace or delete edit zone markers are
skipped.
Function Key [F9]
This key toggles between Test Edits and Untest Edits. The following section
describes its operation.
[F9] Test Edits
Testing edits allows you to verify that the changes you entered are not going to
cause improper machine operation before you make the changes permanent. If no
edits exist, the message:
NO EDITS IN PROCESSOR is displayed. From the
Edit menu, press
CONFIG OFFLINE
CONFIG
TEST
EDITS
F9
. If edits exist, the message: CAUTION: REMOVING
OUTPUT REFERENCES LEAVES THE OUTPUTS IN THEIR LAST STATE
is displayed.
If you proceed, the edits field on the status line changes from DISABLED to
TESTING . For a Program Online Editing session, a compile is performed on all
unmarked rungs and rungs marked with insert edit zone markers.
For a Runtime Online Editing session, the processor enables the testing of the edits
by executing rungs not marked with any edit zone and all rungs marked with insert
zones. Rungs marked with delete or replace zones are not executed.
[F9] Untest Edits
If during a test edits session you find that improper machine operation is occurring,
you can untest your edits and make modifications. To disable testing, press
CONFIG OFFLINE
CONFIG
UNTEST
EDITS

. If no edits exist, the message: NO EDITS IN PROCESSOR is
displayed.
