Step Run and Break Section 4-3

4-3-3 Break Point
The break point is where the program execution is paused. Specifying a
break point will automatically stop the program execution at the specified
point.
As an example of break point, the following introduces the case where moni-
toring the IR value used between FOR and NEXT.
Monitoring IR
The Step Run enables monitoring the contents of Index Registers (IR) while
executing a ladder diagram in the CX-Programmer's [Set Values] window,
which used to be impossible.
Following diagram shows an example of IR usage extracted from the sample
in 6-2 Index Registers of CS/CJ Series Programming Manual(W394). Setting
a break pointer within the FOR to NEXT loop (the hatched part in the dia-
gram) enables to check the change of IR within the FOR to NEXT loop.
