E-12 Micro PLC Programmer’s Guide – April 1994
GFK-0804B
Data values can be entered on separate lines, or on the same line but separated by
spaces. For example, here are two ways to format the same data:
R,15,T,1 ; This specifier must be on line 1, and be as shown.
156 ; This is register 15, the setpoint temperature for the donut ovens.
–945 ; R16 contains the number of donuts we are ahead of schedule with
4467 ; This will be R17 data.
OR
R,15,T,1
156 –945 4467 ; R15–R17 contains the donut specific information
In the first example, each value is on a separate line, and each line includes a comment.
In the second example, the second line of the file contains all there values to be
downloaded, separated by spaces.
When entering numerical data do not use commas. For example, for the number
ten–thousand, you must enter 10000, not 10,000.
Anything on a line followed by the “;” character is interpreted as a comment. This
allows you to document the contents of your recipe files. The first item on the line must
be the register contents.
After completing the file, press F10 to save the file and return to the menu.
Writing Data to the Registers
To download a completed register file to the selected Micro PLC, select B from the
Manual Operation menu. The screen will show a list of files ending in the suffix: .REG.
Select a file to download by highlighting the filename and pressing the Enter key. The
file will appear for you to review. If you want to download the file, press the F10 key. A
prompt like the example shown below appears.
The Start register, and length appear as a double check that the data was entered into
the register bank file. Press any key to download the file.
