The autostart function is enabled for all processors using CONFIG_C utility "Controller
NVRAM" menu selection. See the Instructions for Adept Utility Programs for more details.
Accessing the Command Prompt
If you are not using autostart, you must enable the MONITORS system switch and use the
Adept pull-down menu to select the Monitor window for the system you want to command.
You can then enter V+ commands (such as LOAD and EXECUTE) at the V+ command
prompt (.). See the V+ Language Reference Guide for a description of the MONITORS system
switch.
Each time the controller is turned on, the default is that the auxiliary monitor window
(Monitor_2) is hidden and disabled. To enable it, type the command ENABLE MONITORS.
Intersystem Communications
V+ application programs running on the same processor communicate in the normal way,
using global V+ variables. V+ can execute up to seven tasks simultaneously on each
processor, or up to 28 tasks if the V+ Extensions software license is installed.
When multiple V+ systems are running, each operates on its own processor and functions
independently. Programs and global variables for one V+ system are not accessible to the
other V+ systems.
Application programs running on different V+ systems can communicate through an 8 KB
reserved section of shared memory on each board. This memory area is used only for
communication between V+ application programs. It is not used for any other purpose.
You can access this memory through the following:
l the six IOPUT_ instructions
l IOPUTB
l IOPUTD
l IOPUTF
l IOPUTL
l IOPUTS
l IOPUTW
l the five IOGET_ real-valued functions
l IOGETB
l IOGETD
l IOGETF
