Corrected from:
PLC Designer V3.12
Response of the new version:
You can stop the PLC program and log off in simulation mode.
What happens?
Stopping the PLC program or logging off is no longer possible. After approx. 1:30 min, the following message will appear:
Invalid response of device.
When does this behaviour occur?
The above-described behaviour occurs when stopping the PLC program or logging off, if the simulation mode (menu command Online > Simulation) is active and the Behaviour for outputs in stop selection field on the PLC settings tab of the Device (e.g. 3200 controller) in the device tree of the PLC Designer project is set to the standard value "Set all outputs to default".
Which products are affected?
PLC Designer V3.9 and higher
3200 C controller
c300 controller
Short-term measures:
Go to the PLC settings tab of the Device (e.g. 3200 controller) in the device tree of the PLC Designer project and change the Behaviour for outputs in stop selection field to "Keep current values".
After deactivating the simulation mode, go again to the Behaviour for outputs in stop selection field and select the desired behaviour!
Evaluation/recommendations:
Due to this function restriction, stopping the PLC program and logging off is not possible in simulation mode. A remedy is described under "Short-term measures".
