9.6 Lua Script Interfaces

Lua manual link: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1XbyB-j_lFq6eirMnccR1HS4TkkKsMrtD?usp=sharing

1.Data format

void //void

double //floating number

int //signed integer

uint //unsinged integer

string //string

table //table

bool //false or true

multi // Multiple return values (see the description of "Return" for details)

2.Lua built-in function library

The built-in functions mentioned below could be used, the rest cannot be used

All available:

Mathematics, string, table, file io, UTF8, etc.

Partially available:

System type os (only includes clock, date, difftime, remove, rename, time)

3.File IO

As long as the file is not closed during the use of the write function, what is written is temporarily stored in the RAM space. If the cumulative number of written bytes is about 60% of the RAM size, the program will be crashed. For example, the HMI memory size is 128M, and written byte is about 70M. The operating memory space required by the system itself, then a total of 90% of the total memory is occupied, the program will be killed (that is, the screen will freeze).

The space of the internal Flash is limited. Once the internal space is full, files cannot be written. If you need to operate large files, they must be handled separately, you can read and write files through an external U disk.

4.Table

Lua tables can implement various data structures, such as stacks, queues, and trees. The size of the table needs to be controlled during use, because the RAM size of the HMI is limited. Using a loop to create a table array with nearly endless elements results in excessive memory usage, thus the program wil be killed (that is, the screen freezes) . Below is an example.

local t = {}

for i=1, math.maxinteger do

table.insert(t, math.random(100000, 9999999))

end

5.Lua supports bit operation

&: Bitwise and

|: Bitwise or

~: Bitwise XOR

>>: right shift

<<: left shift

~: bitwise not

Chapter 1 Public function

A large number of operations to read and write external addresses will slow down the running speed of the script, such as calling we_bas_setword("xx", 1) 100 times, it may take a few seconds to run.
