Edit Action properties

From

Qualifier

, select the qualifier to determine when an action is executed.

The "N" qualifier, for example, causes an action to execute as long as its associated step is active. As another example, the P1 qualifier causes an action to execute only once when its associated step is first activated. For more information, see

Action Properties - General

.

Choose from:

Select

Boolean

.

In

Timer

, enter the T value of the action.

This value indicates how long (in milliseconds) the Action was active during this activation. When an Action is first activated, this value is reset to 0. When an action is no longer active, this field retains the elapsed time, thereby reflecting how long the Action was active the last time it was activated.

In

Count

, enter the Count value of the action.

This value indicates how many times the Action was activated since the action Count was last reset. If this counter reaches its upper limit, the counter rolls over to 0 and continues counting. The Count is automatically reset when the SFC is reset.

Select

Pause Timer When Routine is Paused

if the Action Timer should not increment while the SFC routine is paused. Clear the box to have the Action Timer jump forward when the SFC routine resumes execution after being paused. The Action Timer jumps forward by the amount of time of the pause.

In

Indicator Tag

, enter an operand to appear in the action display in the sequential function chart routine.

Select

New Tag

to create a new tag for this option.
