You may now choose which lines to monitor during this step by entering a (1) in the field
corresponding to the input line you wish to monitor. Any field that has a zero or an “X” will
cause that input line to be ignored during execution of this step.
W Wait For Input Commands
Before this command can be used in a program, you must assign Input Function #28, “Wait/
Jump Input” to one or more hardware or internal input lines. To use “Wait For External Input”
when editing or writing a program, enter W as a program step. When you have entered the W,
the screen will offer the choices shown in the figure below.
Figure 99: Wait For Input Commands Window
The first and third choices in Figure 99: "Wait For Input Commands Window" on page 138,
above, 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.
