Figure 98: Jump on Input Pattern Commands Window
The “Jump on Input Pattern (PGI)” command causes program execution to skip to the
designated program step if the specified input lines match the pattern you have selected. If the
specified lines do not match that pattern the program continues to the next step in the program.
Before this command can be used in a program, Input Function #28 “Wait/Jump Input” must
be assigned to one or more hardware input lines (see "Input Functions" on page 90).
The first and third choices in Figure 98: "Jump on Input Pattern Commands Window" on page
137 are alike in that they are asking for an AND condition of the selected Input Lines before
jumping to the destination program step. In other words, the Jump will be made if, for
example, selected Lines 1 AND 3 AND 4 are ALL “On” or “Off”, depending on your
selection. A numeral 1 looks for that Input Line to be “On” or “Off”; the letter “X” causes
that Input Line condition to be ignored.
The second and fourth choices are alike in that they are asking for an OR condition of the
selected Input Lines before jumping to the destination program step. That is, the Jump will be
made if Line 1 OR 3 OR 4 is “On” or “Off”, depending on your selection. Again, a numeral
1 looks for that Input Line to be “On” or “Off”; the letter “X” causes that Input Line condition
to be ignored.
Once the Jump Command has been selected, the cursor will move to the center of the PCX
screen. The zeroes that appear in this field correspond with the number of Input Lines selected
with Input Function #28. The left-most zero corresponds to the first input line selected.
