I couldn't seem to find anything in the searches for forcing I/O in a 5000. Being a noob in RS 5000 now, I was looking to force some physical I/O in a compact logix controller while online. Is that possible to do?
From the Data Monitor, you can set a force value in two ways. You can:
§ force the whole data value; for SINT, INT, DINT, and REAL values, the force is applied to all bits as one entity
§ apply a force to a bit(s) within a SINT, INT, or DINT
Forcing a whole SINT, INT, or DINT
To force a whole SINT, INT, or DINT, type a force value in the Force Mask column cell, using a decimal, octal, or hex format. For REAL values, you must use float or exponential format.
To remove a force for a SINT, INT, DINT, or REAL, type a space.
Forcing individual bits in a word
To force an individual bit in a SINT, INT, or DINT, expand the word and edit the Force column. The force value is displayed in the binary style, where:
§ "0" indicates force OFF
§ "1" indicates force ON
§ "." or " " indicates no force
Optionally, you can use the Force Palette to set individual bits of SINT, INT, or DINT types.
When data structures are compressed, their forced bits are not visible, so the word Forced is displayed in the Force Mask field when there are forced members present.
