MC-Basic:SYSTEM.DOUT.SIM

From SoftMC-Wiki
Jump to: navigation, search
Language: English

This property is used to define the digital output mode as simulated or real.
It works similar to the property axis.SIMULATED.
1 = simulated
0 = real

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

Short form

Sys.Dout.sim

Syntax

System.Dout.sim = <value>

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

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

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

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

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

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

Note: if a digital output assigned to be simulated, the same syntax for a real digital output 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.dout.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 outputs, the property takes only a Long value.
  • This property will not work with a simulated system, only real physical drives.

Examples

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