NOTE:
If a point is not present in the
Device/Points list, it will not appear in the Referenced
Points list.
The default setting for the Data Refresh Rate is 15 seconds. This is recommended for
typical applications. However, the more points that are selected, the higher the Data
Refresh Rate value should be. It is recommended that you set the Data Refresh Rate
to no less than five (5) seconds under any circumstances.
Setting the Data Refresh Rate to a lower value does not guarantee that the points will
update at the specified rate.
NOTE:
In order to keep the data update speed at a reasonable level, it is recommended to
have no more than 20 points selected when viewing a program in a panel, and no
more than 10 points selected when viewing a program on a UEC or PTEC.
Program Pane
There are several elements in the program pane of the PPCL Editor:
The status of each PPCL statement is displayed in the first four columns of each row.
●
Enabled or Disabled
●
Traced (or a space if not traced)
●
Unresolved (or a space if resolved)
An "Unresolved" status indicates that the point referenced in a PPCL program
cannot be found in the local panel or in another panel on the ALN (if applicable).
●
Failed (or a space if not failed)
The Assist Bubble displays to the left of the line number in the line where the cursor is
placed. See the
PPCL Assist section for more information.
