Understanding the Beckhoff First Scan Bit: Implementation, Use Cases, and Best Practices // Main logic uses bIsFirstScan
PROGRAM MAIN VAR // Initialize as TRUE. It will only be TRUE on the first cycle bFirstScan : BOOL := TRUE; END_VAR IF bFirstScan THEN // Perform one-time tasks // ... // Set to FALSE so it never runs again until power cycle bFirstScan := FALSE; END_IF Use code with caution. 4. Best Practices for First Scan Logic SFC Initialization Flag To help refine this implementation
Requires a couple of lines of code rather than referencing a direct tag. 🛠️ Method 2: The Variable Initialization Method
The cleanest, most standard-compliant way to create a first scan bit in TwinCAT is by using a local BOOL variable that defaults to FALSE (or TRUE depending on your logic preference).
