9.10 Commands for String Processing
String processing enables you to use the PLC program to generate and
manipulate any texts. Use Module 9082 to display these texts in the PLC
window of the screen, and delete them with Module 9080. The iTNC features
one string accumulator and 100 string memories (S0 to S99), in each of which
you can save up to 128 characters:
In the PLC program, you can also use operands for indexed access to string
operands. Until now, the index register had to be used. For example, see page
1820.
Example
String accumulator and string memory are volatile, which means that they are
erased by the iTNC when power is switched off. The operand "S" is available
for string processing. You can use the operand "S" with different arguments.
