Data Tables
You can store data into the Data Table memory section of your controller, then
access the data in accordance with program requirements. They are useful in
implementing Program Recipes, a collection of ingredients or values that are
used to prepare a batch of product or to perform a specific task.
Data Tables can be used to contain parameters for pre-programmed
recipes.Vision controllers can contain up to 120K of Data Tables (RAM); Data
Tables (that are marked Part of Project) can take up to 192K (Flash) in
V230/260/280/290.
You create tables in VisiLogic, define their structure, then download them to
the controller. Data within the tables can be copied and pasted to and from
third-party tools such as Excel.
You can also store Data Tables or log lines from them onto SD Cards.
Note
•
Data Tables are based on bytes, not on registers.
•
Data Table sections that are marked Part of Project: the data are
downloaded with the project, and burned into the Flash memory. You
can use this feature to preserve certain, unchanging data, such as
lists of names or recipe data.
•
A Data Table marked as Part of Project cannot be copied to an SD
card.
Data tables consist of columns and rows.
