SFC Debugging Commands

The following toolbar buttons and keyboard shortcuts are provided when the SFC editor is in debug mode:

Toolbar button Keyboard shortcut Description

<Ctrl>+<ALT>+<E> The operating mode as preset at the SFC function block input PRESET_OPERATING_MODE is activated.

<Ctrl>+<ALT>+<R> Corresponds to setting the operating mode at the SFC function block input PRESET_OPERATING_MODE to SFC_AUTO.

<Ctrl>+<ALT>+<H> Corresponds to setting the operating mode at the SFC function block input PRESET_OPERATING_MODE to SFC_HALT.

<Ctrl>+<ALT>+<S> Corresponds to setting the operating mode at the SFC function block input PRESET_OPERATING_MODE to SFC_STEP.

<Ctrl>+<ALT>+<Shift>+<S> Corresponds to setting the operating mode at the SFC function block input PRESET_OPERATING_MODE to SFC_FORCED_STEP.

<Ctrl>+<ALT>+<N> Executes the succeeding step in the SFC program. Corresponds to applying a rising edge to the SFC function block input STEP. Only active in operating modes SFC_STEP or SFC_FORCED_STEP.
Resulting SFC behavior:

In SFC_STEP mode: a rising edge executes the succeeding step if the relevant transition condition is fulfilled.

In SFC_FORCED_STEP mode: a rising edge executes the succeeding step independent of the transition value.

<Ctrl>+<ALT>+<A> Activates the selected step. Only possible in SFC_HALT mode.

<Ctrl>+<ALT>+<D> Deactivates the selected step. Only possible in SFC_HALT mode.

- Acknowledges and thus resets an error that occurred while executing the SFC step chain (e.g., maximum step time exceeded or step time lower than minimum step time).
Only possible in SFC_HALT mode.
Clicking the icon exits the SFC_HALT mode and continues execution with the previously active operating mode.
Corresponds to setting the SFC function block input ACKNOWLEDGE_ERROR to TRUE.
