Dialog Box ‘Properties’ - ‘Monitoring’¶

Function: The tab contains options for the monitoring of transitions in SFC.

Call: Select transition object, click Properties ; menu bar: View ‣ Properties .

Enable monitoring

: An implicit variable is created for the transition, which is then always given the current property value when the application calls the Transition method. The value stored last in this variable is displayed in the monitoring.

Monitoring using call

: The transition to be monitored is read by directly calling the transition.

Note: If you want to monitor an SFC transition in trace that is implemented as a transition object, then you have to activate this option.

Note: When you activate this option, you have to consider possible side effects. These kinds of side effects can occur if additional operations are implemented in the transition.
