Programming Considerations
Using This Chapter
Forcing
Forcing I/O lets you turn specific input and output bits on or off for testing 
purposes.  Forcing bits on or off or forcing SFC transitions lets you simulate 
operation or control of a device.
Forcing Inputs and Outputs
You can forces bits directly from the ladder editor or the force monitor screens 
in your programming software. After you configure which bits to force, you 
must enable forces before the forces take effect.
You can only force live I/O points, which are bits in an input or output word 
that are physically attached to and configured for your system.

IMPORTANT
Forcing inputs lets you force the bits in the input image file. 
Forcing output lets you force the actual output module, 
leaving the output image table file in its original state.
Forces are held by the controller (and not the personal 
computer). Forces remain even if the personal computer is 
disconnected
ATTENTION
When anything is forced on or off, keep personnel away 
from the machine area.  Forcing can cause unexpected 
machine motion that could injure personnel.
