Accessing the Debug Screen
It is not possible to access the debug screen if the terminal is in online mode.
If this is the case, access the debug screen as follows:
-
Select the Configuration Editor.
-
Select and confirm (or double-click on) the rack position which contains the axis control module.
-
In online mode, the debug screen is viewed by default.
The
command buttons work in the following way:
-
For status commands (except JOG commands):
pressing then releasing a button activates the associated command. The button’s internal LED is lit when this command is taken into account (the corresponding %Q command bit is set to 1).
pressing then releasing the button a second time deactivates the command. The button’s internal LED is off when this command is taken into account (the corresponding %Q command bit is set to 0).
-
For commands on edge:
the command is activated as soon as the button is pressed and released. The button’s internal LED lights up then goes out automatically.
The LED next to a button indicates when the module has taken the command into account.
Any value entered into an entry field must be confirmed by the key
