9.2 Script usage
Introduction
Script can make project more convenient and flexible. Script is useful in realizing complex HMI function. If the script is used improperly, it may affect the efficiency of entire project. So pay attention to the follow issues:
1) Do not use too much script loops, if the script loops that execute too many times; it might influence the efficiency of HMI.
2) In the cycle scripts, avoid using external register, due to the relatively slow serial communication, frequent access to external registers may cause the execution of scripts severely reduced, even influence the screen respond efficiently. There is fine to use internal register.
3) The maximum script length is 512 rows.
This section describes how to edit scripts and use some of the accompanying tools and features of the script editor.
9.2.1 Script Access to Device
Software script supports an efficiency way to access the device address by using symbol @.
Writing
Meaning
Examples
@B_;@b_;
Access designated bit address
@B_I0.0: access bit address I0.0
@b_HDX0.0: access bit address HDX0.0
@W_;@w_;
Access designated word address
HMI connect more than automatic control devices, "#"stands for choosing number before the symbol,":" stands for accessing the station number before symbol.
Access the first protocol without "#", access default station number1 without":".
@W_IW0: access word address IW0
@b_HDW0:access word address HDW0
@B_(the number of protocol connection)#(station number):address
@B_2#2:I0.0:access the bit address I0.0, with the connection number 2 and station number 2;
@B_I0.0:access to bit address I0.0;
The script can access with the device though: write and read.
For example
If @B_HDX0.0 = 1 then 'read the value from address HDX0.0.
@B_HDX0.0 = 0 'write 0 to address HDX0.0
Else
@B_HDX0.0 = 1 'write 1 to address HDX0.0
Endif
@W_QW0 = @W_QW0 + 1 'read data from address QW0, add 1 to this value then write to address QW0.
9.2.2 Grammar Checking
Operating procedures
2) System does not prompt grammar error if grammar is correct, or system will list all errors;
3) Check error information, and modify errors;
Error information
1) Identifier *** contains invalid characters
2) Attempt to redeclare sub ***
3) Attempt to redeclare function ***
4) Attempt to use reserved word *** as identifier
5) Attempt to use type *** as identifier
6) Unexpected ')' while parsing arguments for function ***
7) Could not parse expression (one of the arguments of function ***)
8) Could not parse arguments of ***
9) Too many arguments for function ***
10) Not enough arguments for function ***
11) '(' expected after sub name ***
12) Unexpected '(' while parsing arguments for sub ***
13) Could not parse expression (one of the arguments of sub ***)
14) Could not parse arguments of ***
15) Too many arguments for sub/function ***
16) Not enough arguments for sub/function ***
