Power flow display for routines in an executing state
When a Ladder routine is in an executing state, the rung rails are green. When Function Block, Sequential Function Chart, and Structured Text routines are in an executing state, the routine borders are green. When an
Equipment Sequence
is in an executing state, the top border of the Equipment Sequence
is green.When these conditions are met, the
Logix Designer
application indicates that the routine is in an executing state:- The project is online with controller in Run, Remote Run, or Remote Test mode.
- The controller is not in a faulted mode.
- The task is not inhibited.
- The program is not inhibited and is scheduled.
- The routine is a Main Routine, a Fault Routine, a Sequence Diagram, or is called using a JSR instruction in a routine with an execution path that traces back to a Main Routine or Fault Routine.
Routines appear in an executing state even when not currently being executed. For example, if a routine is called using a JSR instruction and the rung-in condition for the JSR is currently false, the called routine still shows as energized because it is capable of being called, even if it is not currently active.
