Category SFC

	Scope of PLC project properties Note that the scope differs between different project properties! Some properties affect only the PLC project whose properties you are currently configuring. Other properties, on the other hand, affect all PLC projects in the development environment. Such properties, which you can change in the project properties of a PLC project, but which also affect all other PLC projects, are titled Solution options.

The category SFC is used to configure the settings for SFC objects. Each new SFC object automatically has the configured settings in its properties.

Flags tab

Implicitly generated variables (flags) for controlling and monitoring the processing in an SFC diagram.
Use	: The corresponding variable is used.
Declare	: The corresponding variable is created automatically. Otherwise, if the usage is intended (Use is set), the user has to declare the variable.

	An automatically declared flag variable appears in the declaration part of the SFC editor, but only in online mode.

Build tab

Code generation

Calculate active transitions only

Category SFC 7: (default): TwinCAT only generates code for transitions that are currently active. This setting can significantly reduce the runtime of the SFC diagram compared to the deactivated option.

Category SFC 8: : TwinCAT generates code for all transitions. The states of all transitions are displayed online in color (True in dark blue, False in light blue).
