Digital forcing

Open: In Simulation and Monitoring modes, contextual menu for links (right mouse click on a link) "Force and maintain"

This function is used to force the value of digital links. The forced values are highlighted in the Edit and Supervision windows by the background changing colour.

A digital output can be temporarily forced by clicking with a left mouse click on a link or on a connection, or by using the "Temporary forcing" contextual menu.

The outputs which take the value ON (or OFF) in Simulation and Monitoring modes are marked as ON (or OFF) in the simulation or monitoring window.

Important note: The function block values marked "cannot be modified by the DISPLAY function" in the online help cannot be forced. They can be modified by changing the value of the parameter associated with that function block output.
