This needs to be false so you can jump to any step. This allows the sequencer to output the current step.This will allow you to jump to any step (as opposed to just the current one).

Change the sequencer to manual mode (SW_MAN = TRUE, SW_AUTO = FALSE).

Select the step to which you want to change (S_SEL).

To change steps, you’ll want to follow this procedure: To make the variables accessible again, go to Edit > Internal parameters visible/accessible from HMI.Įxternally changing steps in Graph can be a bit tricky if you haven’t done it before. It is important to note that changing the interface parameters will reset the “accessible from HMI” checkbox. This can be accomplished by having the sequencer open, clicking “Edit” in the top toolbar, and then “Interface Parameters”.

The desync button located to the right of the zoom in/out buttons allows for the desynchronization of the left and right windows to allow you to view different information in the left and right windows.įigure 2: Desynchronization Changing Between Interface TypesĪnother trick for Graph is changing between interface types. But what if you want to see your pre-instructions on the left, and the graph block on the right? If you’ve spent a bit of time in Graph, you may have noticed that the whole environment shifts when you click on a Graph block. I recommend setting up a comparator in ladder and utilizing the output from a pre/post instruction.

Integer comparisons can get a little messy in the Graph environment. Pre and post-instructions can be programmed in ladder, which allows some flexibility if you are trying to program something like integer comparisons. I often use these for variables that need to be continuously monitored, regardless of the step that I am in. As the name suggests, pre-instructions run before the sequencer and post-instruction run after the sequencer. Pre and post-instructions run cyclically, before and after the main sequence. For those that haven’t used Graph (and maybe those who have!), I’ve put together some tips and tricks to help you develop quickly and efficiently. For those of us who have been programming sequences in ladder logic or SCL, Graph presents an alternative method that includes some built-in functionality. SIMATIC S7 Graph is used for programming sequence logic in a graphical, flow chart representation.
