Setup Procedure
Tag settings
1.Defines the tag to be used for the operation.
As an example, we will use the tag of a virtual device.
Tag Name |
address |
the purpose |
U01.F01.T01～T03 |
SD0005～SD0007 |
Tag used in the first formula |
U01.F01.T04～T05 |
SM0006～SM0007 |
Tags used in the second formula |
U01.F01.T06～T07 |
D0000 to D0001 |
Calculation result storage tag |
Action Settings
1.Add script Ver1 action "A01".
2.Open the properties of the A01 action and set the script from the Script tab.
In this example, write the following two lines of script.
U01.F01.T06 = U01.F01.T01 + U01.F01.T02 +U01.F01.T03 U01.F01.T07 = U01.F01.T04 And U01.F01.T05 |
The following is an example of the script editor.
Event Settings
1.Create a Periodic event to execute the action. This time, the calculation will be performed every second.
2.Set the execution action to "A01".
Operation check
Please bring your application online (yellow arrow).
After going online, make sure that the values of U01.F01.T06 to T07 are updated.
|
Since U01.F01.T06 to T07 are not referenced anywhere, the current values will not be displayed in the tag list of the multiview by simply switching them online. To check the values of T06 and T07, use a view such as Tag Monitor, or right-click the tag in question and select "Tag Operations" - "Start Monitoring." |
