MC-Basic:SYSTEM.DIN.SIM

Language:	English

This property is used to define the digital input mode as simulated or real.
A simulated digital input can be written, the same as a digital output. It works similar to the property axis.SIMULATED.
1 = simulated
0 = real

--> ?sys.din.sim.3001      ' querying slave number 3, bit number 1 status. 
--> sys.din.sim.2004 = 1   ' determined slave number 2, bit number 4 to be simulated.

Short form

Sys.Din.sim

Syntax

System.Din.sim = <value>

System.Din.sim.<bit number> = <value> 'bit number can set also the specific bit at the specific slave.

System.Din.sim[<bit number>] = <value>

System.Din.sim[<bit number>][<range>]  = <value>

?System.Din.sim
?System.Din.sim.<bit number>

?System.Din.sim[<bit number>]

? System.Din.sim[<bit number>][<range>]

Note: if a digital input defined as simulated, the same syntax for a real digital input will work as well (the same as for simulated axis).

Availability

Since version 0.4.18.2.x

Type

long

Range

Decimal: 0 to 8 388 607 (2²³ –1)

Hex: 0x0 to 0x7FFFFF

Number of default mapped bits on softMC: 1 to 23
When working with slaves:

• Syntax - sys.din.sim<ijkl>
• i - Stands for slave number at EtharCAT/CANopen chain.
• j,k,l - Stands for bit number at slave.

Default

0

Scope

Configuration, Task or Terminal

Limitations

• When setting inputs, the property takes only a Long value.
• This property will not work with a simulated system, only real physical drives.

Examples

sys.din.sim.2001 = 1 'defines bit number 1 in slave 2 as simulated.
