Forcing with the CPU 312 IFM to 316-2 DP:
!
Caution
Forced values in the input process image can be overwritten by write instructions
(e.g. T EB x, = E x.y, copying with SFC etc.) and peripheral read instructions (e.g.
L PEW x) in the user program, as well as by write instructions of PG/OP opera-
tions!
Outputs initialized with forced values only return the forced value if the user pro-
gram does not execute any write accesses to the outputs using peripheral write
commands (e.g. TPQB x ) and if no PG/OP functions write to these outputs!
Always note that forced values in the I/O process image cannot be overwritten by
the user program or PG/OP functions!
