aw[index]=formula
Array Word [index]
APPLICATION: Variables
DESCRIPTION: User signed 16-bit data variables
EXECUTION: Immediate
CONDITIONAL TO: Index values range 0 to 101
LIMITATIONS:
An expression used as an index within the [] brackets is limited
to no more than one operator (two values).
No Combitronic requests or functions with parenthesis are
supported within the [] brackets.
This data space is shared with Cam motion (MC) if a RAM table
location is selected. However, the aw command must not be
used to access this space during that time.
READ/REPORT: Raw[index]
WRITE: Read/write
LANGUAGE ACCESS: Assignment, formulas and conditional testing
UNITS: Signed 16-bit number
RANGE OF VALUES: -32768 to 32767
TYPICAL VALUES: -32768 to 32767
DEFAULT VALUE: 0
FIRMWARE VERSION: 5.x and later
COMBITRONIC: aw[0]:3=1234
where ":3" is the motor address — use the actual address or a
variable
DETAILED DESCRIPTION:
The SmartMotor™ has 8, 16 and 32-bit arrays. The 16-bit array takes the form of the
variables aw[index]. These are general-purpose, 16-bit signed integer variables that can be
reported, used on either side of an equation, and can be mixed in an expression with variables
other than 16-bit. Like all user variables, they are always lowercase, and are automatically
initialized to zero at power up or reset.
The syntax of the 16-bit array is aw[index], which stands for array word, and accepts an index
value between 0 and 101. This index can be specified explicitly or through another variable.
For example, aw[4] refers to the fifth element in the 16-bit array, while aw[n] refers to an
element of the array, where the variable "n" must be between 0 and 101.
The value of any array variable is reported with the R, PRINT() or PRINT1() functions.
