Displays the remaining time for evaluation.
Evaluation mode enables you to use non-free software products for a limited amount of time on the shareware principle, even if the necessary license points are not available on the controller.
If the PacDriveTM system does not have any or an inadequate number of licenses, it is still possible to use POUs subject to license for evaluating or for system development for six hours.
If you use a POU that requires license points from the system without the sufficient number of points, an error that can be acknowledged is triggered so that you can be notified that the remaining system runtime is only six more hours. More information on the object type and the instance is displayed in the message logger. The DiagExtCode also provides information on the error cause. After a few minutes (about 5 min.), the Sercos bus is shut down, making any further use of the affected controller impossible. You can only reset this state by resetting the system. Then it is possible to work for another six hours.
