5-4 Monitor and Force Signals
Enable Forces
To enable forcing, both the Forcing allowed and Main Enable switches
must be set. The Forcing allowed switch can be set via the
programming software, but only if the controller is in RUN or STOP
mode.
A forced value remains saved in the controller until:
• the user program is stopped,
• the force value is replaced by another value, or
• the controller is switched off.
Start the Force Editor
Any user can start the Force Editor, regardless of access privilege.
However, you can only force signals if Forcing allowed is enabled for
the controller. Forcing is always disabled for users with Read access.
Before you start the Force Editor, make sure the program running in
the controller is the same program that you are editing in RSLogix
Guard PLUS! software.
To verify whether these programs are the same:
1. Start the Control Panel and choose Resource>Check
Consistency.
2. If the offline/online programs are not identical then the Force
Editor will come up offline.
TIP
If a new configuration is loaded, all of the force
switches and associated force values are reset.
