Copy reference. A new step will call the same actions | If the step is copied in the SFC, the link to the step action(s) is also copied. The steps copied from one another will therefore call all the same actions. |
Copy implementation. New action objects are created for the new step | This means "embedding" of the step actions for the copied steps. By default, the newly created action objects appear below the SFC function block in the PLC project tree in the Solution Explorer. Initially, these objects contain a copy of the original implementation code for the respective action. |
Set as default. This setting can be changed in the SFC editor options. | The settings in the dialog are accepted as the default setting. You can change the default setting in the TwinCAT options in the category SFC editor. To do this, in the group field Step actions in the drop-down list Standard insert method select the entry Always ask, Copy reference or Duplicate implementation. |
