Updated Flow Control Mode

Function extension:

The debugging function 'Flow Control Mode' has been fundamentally improved in the following points:
  • the setting and deletion of breakpoints
  • synchronization with the PLC task
    This results in no timing jitter or deadlock under load.
  • less influence on cycle times
  • faster step debugging - important for commissioning on multicore controllers.

Contained in following products:

PLC Designer V4.1 

Controller c430 V1.15
Controller c520 V1.15
Controller c550 V1.15

Application:

You can use the Flow Control Mode to track the processing of the application program. Flow Control Mode is available for the ST, FBD, LD and CFC language editors.
With activated Flow Control Mode, the PLC Designer displays the values of variables, the results of function calls and operations at the respective processing position and at the respective processing time. The exact lines of code or networks that are run through in the current cycle are highlighted in color.
Flow Control Mode works in all currently visible parts of the currently open editor window. Flow Control Mode activated is displayed in the status bar as long as the function is active and Flow Control Mode positions (parts of the code that have been run through) are visible in an editor window.
