Chapter 5 Create Logic in the Old DeviceLogix Ladder Editor
Online Animation
Once you go on line and Logic Enable is set to on, online animation
starts. The status of the I/O can be seen in the old Ladder Editor
configuration pane. Note that in the online animation mode, you
cannot edit instructions.
Change Logic
While the logic is running and animated, you can change the logic
that appears in the old Ladder Editor. The old Ladder Editor changes
from the animated mode to the pending edits mode. The logic in the
device is not affected and the current program continues to run.
However, the screen does not reflect the real-time status of the logic.
The data on the wires is frozen to what it was when you entered Edit
Mode. To cause your changes to take affect:
1. Select Tools > Edit Mode so that a check mark appears on the
menu, indicating that you are in Edit mode.
2. Select Communications > Download.
You see a message that tells you that logic is running and asks
you if you would like to stop it. If you:
• Select No - the logic is not downloaded to the device and the
current logic continues to run in the device.
