Testing Your Application File
Chapter 11
11-3
Once you’ve checked all PLC values and determined that all objects,
windows, and PLC controlled functions communicate properly with the
PLC, you’re ready to set both the PLC and the terminal into Run mode and
test your application file in action.
ATTENTION: If the PLC program can control any specific
machine action or process that could result in unsafe or critical
operation, temporarily disable these specific operations. Keep
people at a safe distance from any PLC controlled machine.
Finally, make sure emergency stop buttons are easily accessible
in the event of unexpected operation of the control system.
Step through each screen to make sure that valid states and values are
displayed. Test each object one at a time to ensure that the PLC system
responds as expected.
Turn the PanelView terminal off and on and switch the terminal to
Configuration mode and back to Run mode. You should also remove and
re-apply power to the PLC separately, and to the entire control system to
ensure that the system re-initializes as expected.
