Abort Editing

Use the Abort Editing block during multitasking to perform a
controlled interrupt of a current task’s ongoing editing session, and let
another task take over control of the operator interface for a brief time (to
handle faults, for example). The Abort Editing block performs this
interruption in a controlled manner. When the interrupting task finishes
using the operator interface, the Abort Editing block cleans up the display,
allowing the interrupted editing session to resume.

The Abort Editing block resides on the RS-232/422 Palette. It requires no
parameters, and has no dialog box. This block requires no parameters and
it always has a check mark by the upper left corner of the block to indicate
that it is complete.

Refresh Display

Use the Refresh Display block to immediately update the runtime or
status display with the current values of the displayed variables, axis
status, etc. It is most useful in forcing the display to show an immediate
update to a particular variable rather than waiting for the configured
display refresh time.

See the Setup section in the Installation and Setup manual for your
motion controller for more information on configuring the runtime
display.

The Refresh Display block resides on the RS-232/422 Palette. This block
requires no parameters, has no dialog box, and it always has a check mark
by the upper left corner of the block to indicate that it is complete.
