Program Check


The Do-more Designer software performs checks on the contents of the code-blocks and the code-block configurations to assist the programmer in building a project that will perform as expected. The Program Check operation is automatically performed each time an attempt is made to download a project to a controller. The programmer can use the Tools-> Program Check menu selection to run the Program Check at development time. the Global tab of the View-> Options dialog has an option (Automatically run Program Check after successful Accept Rungs) to configure Program Check to run each time the Accept Rungs  (F8) operation is successfully executed.

 

Program Check will generate Error, Warning, and Info level messages. These messages will be displayed in the Output Window. Do-more Designer will allow a project to be downloaded to a controller with Warning and Info messages, but NOT with Errors.

 

 

Program Check rules alert the user that the code-block configuration might not allow the instructions within the code-block to operate as expected. Two common examples are placing instructions that require multiple PLC scans to complete within a code-block that is configured to execute only one scan and attempting to download a project that contains unassigned nicknames.
