synchro Posted October 18, 2011 Report Posted October 18, 2011 Hi, I've written a small program and am having trouble monitoring the running program. I'm connected over usb to an S7-300 CPU on the MPI port and using Step 7 Pro. If I monitor using a VAT the variables etc are all correct and update in real time. If I monitor the STL view they are all correctly in real time If I monitor the Ladder view or FBD view the view does no update the whole network leaving some parts in an unknown condition! Using the address tab at the bottom of the screen seems to work ok, but why not the other views! I've set the CPU protection to TEST. Any ideas? Thanks. Quote
slcman Posted October 23, 2011 Report Posted October 23, 2011 Is the logic is scanned? Jump and conditionnal jump don't update the value. Quote
Joe E. Posted October 24, 2011 Report Posted October 24, 2011 Also, be aware that the software will only update from the cursor down. If you select an instruction in the middle of the network, the stuff before it won't be updated. Click on the network number and it should update the entire network. Quote
