Dialog Box 'Prepare Value'dl-permalink__symbolPermalink

Function: This dialog box is used for preparing a value for a forced variable. CODESYS executes the prepared action with the next forcing.

CODESYS opens the dialog box in the following situations:

  • When clicking in the field “Prepared value” of a forced variable in the declaration section

  • When clicking in the inline monitoring field of a forced variable

  • When clicking in the field “Prepared value” of a forced variable in the monitoring window

“Prepare a new value for the next write or force operation”

Value that CODESYS writes to the variable with the next force operation

“Remove a preparation with a value”

CODESYS deletes the prepared value.

“Release the force, without modifying the value”

CODESYS retains the forced value and ends forcing. CODESYS marks the variable ‎<Unforce>‎.

“Release the force and restore the variable to the value it had before forcing it”

CODESYS resets the forced value and ends forcing. The variable is marked with ‎<Unforce and restore>‎.
