Why is Machine Expert not honoring Forces?
Issue:
Why, if a value was forced to a variable in Machine Expert, this value is not kept by the variable during the execution of the program?
Product Line:
EcoStruxure Machine Expert (all versions).
Resolution:
In the Help documentation of Machine Expert, we have the following information:
This means that the Force values are only assigned at steps 2 and 4, after reading the inputs and before writing to the outputs.
During step 3, the code is executed and the value of a forced variable can change if a write operation is done to it.
And from the moment that the new value was assigned to the forced variable, this variable will retain this value
and it will be used as is in the rest of the code, until step 4, where the forced value will be reassigned to the variable.
