My application is a hydraulic 400 ton press. I can move the press down to just before pressure starts building up where the switch force (US ton) is met then proceeds to the next phase (Phase 4). Phase 4 has several programmed force & time values where the force is met for the time programmed then will move on to the next index values. The plot reveals that the task stops at step 11 with no reference as to why. Any thoughts as to why this stops in same place each time?

Step 11 is waiting for  
Fnet \>= Ph3\_Switch\_Force

So is it possible that Ph3\_Switch\_Force is set to a number that cannot be achieved?

Other possibilities are the entries in the Program Triggers that stop task 0.

You should add Ph3\_Switch\_Force to your plot so that you can compare that to F\_net
