“SIMPL Windows Preferences” Window
After enabling viewing of special symbols, the Console symbol can be viewed as
shown in the following diagram.
The User Program Commands Symbol in SIMPL Windows
The User Program Commands symbol receives data entered at the 2-Series console
prompt using the USERPROGCMD command. The syntax of the console command
requires double-quotes before and after the command string. The string may include
escape codes such as "\x".
The double quotes are stripped off and any escape codes are processed before
passing the string to the User Program Commands symbol. For example, if the user
types:
>USERPROGCMD "TURN ON DEBUG"
The string TURN ON DEBUG (without the double quotes) will be passed to the
User Program Commands symbol. The string can then be processed as desired.
Command Groups
Console commands are grouped logically. If the operator enters “help” from the
console, the 2-Series processor responds with a list of categories. It is possible to
find the same command in more than one category. Categories include:
• All – all 2-series console commands.
• Device – pertains to the unit itself.
• Ethernet – govern parameters that involve the Ethernet port(s).
• File – influence the internal file system.
• System – sets system-wide parameters.
