Simulator display stepper direction line ?
« on: June 29, 2007, 04:28:40 PM »
Does the simulator display the changing state of the direction line (out5) for plus and minus stepper moves ?

The simulator shows a simulated motor turning in either diection. However, since TRiLOGI software is designed to be a generic programming software, the direction and pulse bits of the stepper channel are not tied to the mapped outputs of T100MD+ PLC.

Good information. I saw the smiulator showing the desired move and noticed the direction bit not changing. I wanted to make sure all was working correctly since it looked like it was not on the pin level.
