To help with commissioning the system, I've got a Test-screen which allows me to switch all the relays etc. on and off. When the Test-screen is active all the rest of the normal program is skipped. For the motor-driven switches this means sending a 1-sec pulse to the "Open" or "Close" contacts as required. This is the logic I'm using:
This has been working since last July with no problems, but hasn't been used for about six weeks. Now I wanted to test the last few modules and suddenly I've got problems. The "Open" (AUF) and "Close" (ZU) outputs are staying on permanently causing the switch to hunt back and forth. Unfortunately, in the meantime quite a lot of changes have occurred in other parts of the software!
Looking in the VAT I can see the "ZU" Timer oscillating between 1 sec and 990ms - in other words it is apparently continually being restarted - but how? The Bits concerned are set and reset in ProTool and, according to X-Ref, nowhere else (apart from here in the case the "Open" button).
