Chapter 7 Create Logic in the New Ladder Editor

4. When the download is complete, you are notified that the

download was successful.

You can click Cancel anytime during the download process to abort
downloading the logic to the device. If you click Cancel, an error
message displays, and neither the old logic nor the new logic exists in
the device. You must perform a complete download in order for the
device to contain and execute logic.

Once the download is successful, the new Ladder Editor is able to
animate the logic. During online animation, the wires connecting the
elements in the configuration display real-time values. In addition,
parameters and other instruction output values are updated with their
real-time values in the device. During online animation, the new
Ladder Editor displays updated information approximately every 500
milliseconds.

If the logic was disabled after the download, then there is no activity
after the download completes. The current state of connections is
displayed, and you can change inputs.

Force Inputs and Outputs

To aid in troubleshooting and debugging of your schematic, you can
force hardware inputs and hardware outputs. No other inputs or
outputs can be forced within the new Ladder Editor. If you exit the
new Ladder Editor with a force enabled, that force will stay in effect
until you remove it. You can force I/O using the Tag Database or the
new Ladder Editor.

IMPORTANT

If you receive no response from the new Ladder Editor, cycle
power.
