What effect does the setting 'Initialize %MWi on cold start' have on M580 Safety PLCs?
Issue
Looking to understand the impact of the 'Initialize %MWi on cold start' setting with the M580 Safety Controllers.

Product line
Unity Pro XLS, EcoStruxure Control Expert

Resolution
If %MWi is checked, on 'Cold Start' the Located Variables will be 'initialized' to what ever value is in the Value column of the variable.
If %MWi is unchecked, on 'Cold Stat' the Located Variables are ignored, if there is a value there already, it will remain as is.

*** NOTE: The Unlocated Variables do not react to this setting, they always 'initialize' on 'Cold Start'. ***
