Command Step into

Symbol: Command Step into 1:

Shortcut: [F11]

Function: The command executes the instruction the program is currently at and stops before the next instruction.

Call: Debug menu, TwinCAT PLC toolbar options

Requirement: The PLC project is in online mode. The program is at a stop position (debug mode).

If the statement to be executed contains a call (from a program, a function block instance, a function, a method or an action), the program jumps to this subordinate programming block. Its code appears in a separate editor. The first instruction there is executed and the program is stopped before the next instruction. The new current stop position is then in the called programming block.

Select the command Step over, to stay in the currently active programming block and run through the call in one step.
