100 Version: 1.2.1 MS249E C-863.12 Mercury Controller
Basically all GCS commands (p. 115) can be included in a macro. Exceptions:
▪ RBT for rebooting the C-863.12
▪ MAC BEG and MAC END for macro recording
▪ MAC DEL for deleting a macro
Query commands can be used in macros in conjunction with the CPY, JRC, MEX, and WAC
commands. Otherwise they have no effect, since macros do not send any responses to
interfaces.
If you record a macro on a C-863.12 whose controller address is different to 1, note the
following when entering the commands that are to be an element of the macro:
▪ If you are working with PITerminal and have established communication with the
Connect… button, the target address has to be typed in in every command line.
▪ If you are working with PIMikroMove or have established communication with PITerminal
using the GCS DLL… button, the target address is automatically sent and may not be typed
in.
To make the use of macros more flexible, you can use local and global variables in macros. For
further information, see "Variables" (p. 118).
The number of write cycles in the nonvolatile memory is restricted by the limited lifetime of
the memory chip.
➢ Only record macros if it is necessary.
➢ Use variables (p. 118) in macros to make macros more flexible, and give the corresponding
variable values when starting macro execution.
➢ Contact our customer service department (p. 259) if the C-863.12 shows unexpected
behavior.
A macro is overwritten if a macro with the same name is re-recorded.
1. Start the macro recording.
− If you are working with PITerminal or in the Command entry window of
PIMikroMove: Send the MAC BEG macroname command, where macro name
indicates the name of the macro.
