---( # )--- Midline Output

---( # )---    Midline Output 
Symbol 
<address> 
  ---( # )--- 

Parameter    Data Type       Memory Area        Description 
<address>     BOOL          I, Q, M, *L, D        Assigned bit 
* An L area address can only be used if it is declared TEMP in the variable declaration table of a logic 
block (FC, FB, OB). 
Description  
---( # )--- (Midline Output) is an intermediate assigning element which saves the RLO bit (power flow 
status) to a specified <address>. The midline output element saves the logical result of the preceding 
branch elements. In series with other contacts, ---( # )--- is inserted like a contact. A ---( # )--- element 
may never be connected to the power rail or directly after a branch connection or at the end of a 
branch. A negated ---( # )--- can be created by using the ---|NOT|--- (invert power flow) element. 
MCR (Master Control Relay) dependency 
MCR dependency is activated only if a midline output coil is placed inside an active MCR zone. Within 
an activated MCR zone, if the MCR is on and there is power flow to a midline output coil; the 
addressed bit is set to the current status of power flow. If the MCR is off, a logic "0" is written to the 
specified address regardless of power flow status.
