NOTE:

Excessive referencing of points from other panels may cause network performance

issues.

NOTE:

Only points located in the Web client's cache (as displayed in the Device/Points list)

will display in the tree view. If the desired point is not displayed, the cache must be

refreshed by clicking the refresh arrows.

Statement Parameter Rules

If the parameter can only be a number:

● You can only enter 0 through 9, -, or . (period).

If the parameter can only be a point:

● You must adhere to the rules for Point Names. See the

PPCL Manual

for more

information about Point Names.

● If “” or @ are required (such as a point name beginning with a number, or a point

name greater than 6 characters), the editor will automatically apply “” around the

point name.

NOTE:

You cannot enter “” in a point name, as this is a prohibited character for a point name.

However, “” can be entered around a point name.

If the parameter can be either a number or a point:

● If you enter a parameter containing all numbers, or all numbers and a single

decimal point, the entry will be treated as a number.

● If the parameter begins with a - and all remaining characters are 0 through 9, the

entry will be treated as a number.

● If you enter “” around the parameter, the entry will be treated as a point name.

● If the parameter contains any non-alphanumeric characters, the entry will be

treated as a point name and “” will be added when applicable.

Drag and Drop

The Drag and Drop feature allows you to drag points from the

Device/Points list and

drop them into a line of a PPCL program.

NOTICE

You CANNOT drag a point from the Device/Points list and drop it into a parameter of

an open command form. See the

Forms

section for more information about using

forms.

● When a point is dropped into a PPCL program in an ALN Device, the System

Name will be dropped into the line of PPCL. For more information, see the

System

Name and Name

section.
