Modicon M340 enable forces

[bisk]

Could someone explain how I would be able to force a value on a Modicon M340 using unity pro? I am attempting to test scada points and would like to force a value of 1 or 0 to generate an output and verify they are seen on the other end. When I try to do this the option to force a value of 1 or 0 is greyed out.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Do yo try force bool type variable now?

You can only force ebool type variables, on bool type variables forcing is greyed out.

There is two way to force variables, one is that you select on plc-program variable which you want force, then right click mouse and select force -> 0 or 1 or unforce

Another way is that you make first varible table and then click force button

Great, thanks for the response. I am a little new to unity pro, the variable I am trying to force are on bool type variables. Would you be willing to explain how I would create a variable table?

Thanks

there is animation tables folder on project tree on Unity program. Select animation table folder -> right click -> new animation table ->give name and click ok.

After that animation table opens and now you can click name field on animation table. After that click grey icon on screen. (three dots). On window which now opens (instance selection), you can select variables which you want add to animation table. Select some variables and click ok.
After that click force or modifation enable buttons and modify values of variables.
