The Force Function
13–2
Installing forces on input data file bits only affects the input force table.
However, enabling the installed forces affects the input force table, input data
file, and, thus, the program logic. The effects on the program logic of
installed and enabled forces can be seen in both the Run and Test modes.
In the following example, the HHT is online, monitoring the program in the
Run mode. The cursor is located on external input I:0/1. The display
indicates NO FORCE.
