Variable Animation

When your application is running, all variables in the IEC 61131-3 Editors, in the Dictionary and in the Watch Window are animated. This means the value of each variable is displayed dynamically.

• 
  

• When the value of a variable is displayed, only the value computed at the end of the cycle is displayed.
  So if the same variable is set in different programs, the animation in all those programs displays the same value for the variable, which corresponds to the latest program executed within the cycle.

About Online Change

When Online Change is enabled, the animated values only take place when you are in Debug mode (and not edit).

Limitations

• The versions on the KAS-IDE and the KAS Runtime must be the same (see more details here)
• Animation does not apply to actions in an SFC step
