Working with the IL Editor Online
While online to a target PLC, the IL editor enables you to edit logic, monitor data
values, and change or force the state of BOOL variables in real-time. This allows
you to test the execution of logic, to trigger an event within an executing project,
or to remove an element from logic execution.
To monitor a data value
• Click anywhere in the IL editor and hover the mouse pointer over a variable.
A tooltip appears, showing the variable’s current value. This value, however, does
not update. You must move the mouse pointer away and back over the variable.
To change a BOOL variable’s state
• In the IL editor, right-click the BOOL variable whose value you want to change and choose Turn On or Turn Off.
The state of the variable in the target PLC changes when the command is received.
It remains in that state until acted on by the PLC’s logic.
