Table 8. Code generation

Abortable implementation

_cds_icon_checked.png: The processing of the statechart can be aborted (default setting). The statechart gets an additional internal variable for this purpose: _UML_SC_<name>.abort. This variable can be set by IEC code to immediately stop the processing of the statechart, independently of the internal state.

Stateful implementation (by VAR_INST)

Available as of UML compiler version 4.0.2.0. The option only affects methods.

_cds_icon_checked.png: The method can also have a _uml_icon_sc_state.png "normal" state , which is processed over several cycles depending on the task cycle. To do this, the variables have to be declared as VAR_INST in the method.

_cds_icon_option_deactivated.png: The method can only have _uml_icon_fast_state.png in-cycle states which all have to be processed in one cycle.
