Corrected from:
PLC Designer V3.10
ApplicationTemplate_PackML
Response of the new version:
In the machine module visualisation, the current mode is displayed in the Current Mode field.
What happens?
In the machine module visualisation, 'undefined' is displayed in the Current Mode field.
When does this behaviour occur?
If all xEnableModeTransxxx inputs of an instance of the L_EATP_ConfigSystemMode_PackML block are set to FALSE in the PackMLConfig block (A12_PackML_Configuration folder), all options to change to another mode (e.g. Producing) are disabled as a result. In this case, 'undefined' will be displayed in the 'Current Mode' field in the machine module visualisation.
Which products are affected?
PLC Designer V3.8 and higher
ApplicationTemplate_PackML
Short-term measures:
Do not disable all options to change to another mode for a particular mode.
Evaluation/recommendations:
If all transitions to another mode are disabled for a mode in a PLC project based on the Application Template PackML, the current mode is not displayed in the visualisation. Typically, several modes are used in these projects. Therefore, not all transitions to another mode are disabled.
