Note

If during the consistency check, lines marked blue with internal warnings occur, the entire project has to be regenerated.

In the menu “Project“, click on Generator and select Regenerate everything (alles neu generieren).

Switch the TP177B to the transfer mode.

Transfer the project.

Test the functions in the picture “Tank1“.

Note

If the container is full, the outflow valve can no longer be opened.

You first have to empty the container using the button “HAND_OUT_BEH (E1.6)“.

If you set the data collection cycle of all variables to 100ms, the operation of the buttons and the valve function are updated faster.
