Changes to Version 2.0 from Version 1.xx
• Multiple statements may be on one line:
START: V1=2.5 G1=V1*3.1 X3 CONT MD=G13 JUMP MAIN
• Statements may be continued on multiple lines:
IF F1 = ON
G1 = POS2 ELSE G1 = POS1
• Multiple statements may be treated as a group when contained in curly braces:
IF F1=ON {O1=ON G1=POS2}
• Multiple statements in curly braces can also be used in scanned events:
S1: IF F1=ON {O2=ON G1=POS2 F2=OFF}
• Two new programming statements have been added:
DO statement WHILE condition example: DO V1=V1+1 WHILE I12=ON
WHILE condition statements example: WHILE I12=ON {V1=V1+1 G3=V1+2}
• Two additional variables have been added for positions captured on occurrence of an index pulse:
IX1P2 (POS2 on index 1) and IX2P1 (POS1 on index 2).
V1 = IX1P2
G2 = IX2P1
• The ERETPOS variable for the emergency return position parameter may now also be called
EPOS.
V1 = ERETPOS
G2 = EPOS
• Two variables have been added to allow setting the present jog acceleration and jog deceleration
parameters without changing the nonvolatile parameter values:
