Chapter 4 Output Module Features
Enable Forces
For a force to take effect, you enable forces. You can only enable and disable forces
at the controller level.
• You can enable I/O forces and SFC forces separately or simultaneously.
• You cannot enable or disable forces for a specific module, tag collection, or
tag element.
Disable or Remove a Force
To stop the effect of a force and let your project execute as programmed, disable
or remove the force.
• You can disable or remove I/O and SFC forces simultaneously or
separately.
• When you remove a force on an alias tag, you also remove the force on the
base tag.
ATTENTION: Forcing can cause unexpected machine motion that could
injure personnel. Before you use a force, determine how the force affects
your machine or process and keep personnel away from the machine area.
• Enabling I/O or SFC forces causes your machine or process to go to another
state or phase.
• Removing forces can still leave forces in the enabled state.
• If forces are enabled and you install a force, the new force immediately
takes effect.
ATTENTION: Changes to forces can cause unexpected machine motion that
could injure personnel. Before you disable or remove forces, determine how
the change affects your machine or process and keep personnel away from
the machine area.
