Find enclosed a screenshot of it. On it, the variable 'Tag 1' should change its value. In the selected variable to force there is a warning signal which says 'Address selected but it's not being modified in the CPU'. I tried to force variables both in simulation mode and with a real PLC, but I couldn't do it.
Of course, it acts on the premise that you actually know how to build and use watch and force tables. If that is an issue, the same gentleman has 2 other videos that you might appreciate, one on building a watch table, the other on force tables, look for them.

Hello,I've watched it once before and what I understand from him is that watch tables deal with the process image memory and force tables deal with peripherals. I'm still confused because:1. Changing a value in the process image memory gives the same result as changing the peripherals. 2. I can write I0.0:P in the watch table so why use the force table.
In a watch table, you affect the vaues in the process inage table, and through it the program in PLC memory. The values of the registers are recalculated every scan, and if you write a value in the watch table it is not guaranteed that it will remsin if the program logic demands it.
In a force table, the values you enter bypass the program logic, and remain as set even if the program logic would want them to change. You cannot force a standard input, but you can force the same input address if you treat it as an immediate periphersl address (:P). This could trigger unwanted conditions in the PLC program, at commissioning time, for example. That is why forcing is considered dangerous and a force table must be reset once commissioning is finished.
The term "constant force" is often heard in the world of mechanical watches, but what does it really mean? Is it a complication, or something else entirely? Could it be just a clever marketing term, or is it an essential timekeeping element? With a little help from our friends at Arnold & Son, Lange & Heyne, and Girard-Perregaux, we are going to find out.
To understand what constant force in a watch is, we need to start all the way back at the barrel, and specifically the mainspring inside of it. The mainspring is a tightly coiled metal ribbon that delivers force to the rest of the movement.
Watchmakers have been working to eliminate force or torque variations in their movements for centuries. The most common place where this work is found is the barrel itself. An early device known as the stackfreed placed pressure on a cam attached to the barrel, to even out the force delivered. (You can see one in a 17th century watch we covered here.) Chain and fusée mechanisms work on similar principles, but are more reliable. They are used in modern watchmaking by several brands, including, perhaps most prominently, A. Lange @ Söhne; you can also see one in the movement of the Chronométrie Ferdinand Berthoud, recently introduced by the Chopard Group.
Another frequently used method in watchmaking history is "stopwork," which limits the amount of wind and unwind that the mainspring can go through, effectively evening the torque curve by cutting out the two extremes. The most famous stopwork style is the Geneva stopwork, also known as the Maltese cross mechanism. Today, we see mainsprings with reverse coils that do a lot to even out the force delivery with no extra parts required (a going barrel). While all these mechanisms are used to ensure some degree of constant force, they are generally not referred to as constant force mechanisms.
In the Arnold & Son Constant Force Tourbillon, we see the constant force mechanism located between the gear train and tourbillon. A pallet fork locks and unlocks at one second increments, by way of a hairspring. The combination of a constant force mechanism and tourbillon mean that the movement is equipped to work both against torque fluctuations and issues related to positional rate variations. The Arnold & Son Constant Force Tourbillon also makes use of the constant force mechanism to display seconds in the dead-beat style. This is where the argument of complication versus non-complication begins to take shape. In my opinion, a constant force mechanism that also shows dead-beat seconds could be considered a complication as it adds a new type of indication to the dial.
The constant force mechanism in Girard-Perregaux Constant Escapement L.M. is an example of a constant force escapement, rather than a constant force mechanism. An ultra-thin silicon blade buckles between impulses, delivering equal amounts of power to the regulator (a classic balance wheel and hairspring). The advantage to building the constant force mechanism as the escapement itself is that it eliminates a host of other variables that could change the rate of a watch. A lot less could go wrong, as there are no other parts between the buckling silicon blade and regulator. True constant force escapements (as opposed to constant force mechanisms, like the chain-and-fusée, stackfreed, or remontoire d'egalité) are very, very rare in the history of watch and clockmaking, and Girard-Perregaux was actually the first watchmaker to put one in a wristwatch.
As the inner tourbillon carriage rotates fully once per 60 seconds, the balance vibrates at eight beats per second while the outer constant-force carriage follows its rotation at exact one-second intervals. The sounds of the active escapement and the once-per-second impulse of the constant-force mechanism harmonize to create a deeply satisfying and re-assuring heartbeat, similar to that of a musical 16th note, and it is what inspired the name.
Because there are no components between the tourbillon and constant force mechanism, there is no change to the torque transmitted from the constant-force mechanism to the balance wheel. This results in a duration of 50 hours for the constant-force mechanism, as well as a more stable balance amplitude, which improves movement accuracy. Caliber 9ST1 establishes a new standard for accuracy. Each movement is fully wound every 48 hours (as opposed to the typical 24 hours) in six positions and at three temperatures. This is twice as long as the Grand Seiko standard and other industry standards. Individual movements are tested over a period of 34 days, and the performance of each movement is recorded in an individual certificate that accompanies every watch.

If fully wound, the torque delivered by this high-energy mainspring barrel would be much too high to be transferred directly to the escapement. And if its torque declines when it approaches the unwound state, the accuracy of the watch would deteriorate. To keep the rate of the watch stable for the entire power-reserve period, a patented constant-force escapement is integrated between the twin mainspring barrel and the escapement of both watches.
Since the remontoir spring always releases exactly the same amount of energy, the watch is powered with the same torque every day. The result is a constant amplitude and thus an especially high degree of rate accuracy. The remontoir spring of the constant-force escapement and the balance spring are both manufactured in-house and can thus be optimally paired with the movement.
In the ZEITWERK models, the constant-force escapement not only supplies the escapement with a steady flow of power, but it also generates the switching impulses needed to advance the jumping numerals. Like a puma preparing to pounce, the constant-force escapement must deliver a strong burst of energy.
In the RICHARD LANGE JUMPING SECONDS, the constant-force escapement and the jumping seconds mechanism are assigned to separate but firmly interconnect wheel trains. Like a hummingbird, which needs to beat its wings at high frequencies to hover in mid-air, the constant-force escapement must perform many fast-paced switching steps with one-second precision.
The mainspring barrel is briefly set free once a second. In the process, it moves the seconds hand forward by one second and incrementally tensions the spring of the constant-force escapement. All the while, the watch runs very precisely thanks to a constant delivery of force.
Force Touch is a haptic technology developed by Apple Inc. that enables trackpads and touchscreens to distinguish between various levels of force being applied to their surfaces. It uses pressure sensors to add another method of input to Apple's devices.[1][2] The technology was first unveiled on September 9, 2014, during the introduction of Apple Watch. Starting with the Apple Watch, Force Touch has been incorporated into many products within Apple's lineup. This notably includes MacBooks and the Magic Trackpad 2. The technology is known as 3D Touch on the iPhone models. The technology brings usability enhancements to the software by offering a third dimension to accept input. Accessing shortcuts, previewing details, drawing art and system wide features enable users to additionally interact with the displayed content by applying force on the input surface. 2ff7e9595c
