Hi.
This is the first time I do a project with Rockwell PLC from scratch.
I started a bit just building some AOI for a couple things I need to be sure it was working against InTouch.
Now I'm looking into being able to force whatever I need to force during commissioning.
I mostly used M340 and M580 over the last 10 years and nowadays we can force whatever we please with a M580 so this isn't even is an issue anymore when we cannot get the actual status from the field to test a logic.
Rockwell is still quite different. I don't want to double-up every tag I have just in case I need it during commissioning. I'm not quite sure yet what I can force but it look mostly like only the physical IOs; if I have a tag in between that is being written somewhere I cannot do anything with it.
What are you best practices about that?
Thanks.
