Forcing an I/O Value

Use a force to override input data or logic when you need to:

• test and debug your logic.

• check wiring to an output device.

• temporarily keep your process functioning when an input device has failed.

ATTENTION

Forcing can cause unexpected machine motion that could injure personnel. Before you install, disable, or
remove a force, determine how the change will effect your machine or process and keep personnel away
from the machine area.

Enabling I/O forces causes input, output, produced, or consumed values to change.

If you remove an individual force, forces remain in the enabled state.

If forces are enabled and you install a force, the new force immediately takes effect.
