Trial Operation and Debugging Section 7-2
The following areas can be force-set and reset.
CIO (I/O bits, data link bits, CPU Bus Unit bits, Special I/O Unit bits, Inner
Board bits, SYSMAC BUS bits, Optical I/O Unit bits, work bits), WR Area,
Timer Completion Flags, HR Area, Counter Completion Flags. (The Inner
Board, SYSMAC BUS, and I/O Terminal Areas are supported by the CS-
series CPU Units only.)
Programming Device Operation
• Select bits for forced setting/resetting.
• Select forced set or forced reset.
• Clear forced status (including clearing all forced status at the same time).
7-2-2 Differential Monitoring
When the CPU Unit detects that a bit set by a Programming Device has
changed from OFF to ON or from ON to OFF, the results are indicated in the a
Differentiate Monitor Completed Flag (A50809). The Flag will turn ON when
conditions set for the differential monitor have been met. A Programming
Device can monitor and display these results on screen.
Programming Device Operation for CX-Programmer
1,2,3... 1. Right-click the bit for differential monitoring.
2. Click Differential Monitor from the PLC Menu. The Differential Monitor Di-
alog Box will be displayed.
3. Click Rising or Falling.
4. Click the Start button. The buzzer will sound when the specified change is
