b. Correct the error according to the description in the in the Output
window on the Search Results tab.
c. Repeat step 1.
3. To close the Results window, press Alt+1.
To check your SFC, you can use either of these options.
• Force transitions
• Step through the SFC
See the chapter on Force steps on page 79
.
Firmware revision 13 added support for editing SFCs online. When you
transition the controller to test or un-test edits, the controller resets the SFC and
starts execution at the initial step. Keep these guidelines in mind if you edit an
SFC online.
• Time when you test or un-test edits to coincide with the SFC execution of
the initial step.
• Place structured text logic in subroutines to minimize the impact of online
edits.
• Use an SFR instruction to programmatically shift SFC execution to the
correct step.
As of firmware revision 18, the following online edits to an SFC no longer reset
the SFC to the initial step.
• Modify structured text in actions and transitions
• Physically move steps, actions, and transitions on SFC sheets without
changing the wiring
• Add, delete, or modify text and description boxes
• Modify indicator tags
• Add, delete or modify an SBR/RET
• Add, delete or modify any step or action expression
