83 5.1 Overview of variables 5. Variables Use of variables is program dependent. In general, global variable is available in every program. To use a global variable as a local variable, it is necessary to declare it as EXTERN before use. Local variable is available only in a designated program. Direct variable (variables with user specified address) can be used in the program. In addition, a comment can be entered to the direct variable. 5.2 Global/direct variable Global/direct variables consist of global variables, direct variable comments, and flags. A global variable declares the variable to be used for a program or displays a list of the declared variables, based on the available variables. Direct variable comment declares the direct variable comment available in a program or displays the comment. The flag displays a list of flags provided by the declaration. The following are the different types of flags: System flag High-speed link flag P2P flag PID flag. Global variable Global variables are declared and the list displays as in the following figure.

211 8. Programming 8.3. Check program : In case of the function (block) having ANY type as the IO parameter, the data type of IO parameter indicated as ANY type must be the same. Check the data type of the input IO parameter. ATTENTION If the strict data type check is not set in the program check options, it checks the only IO parameter size of the function (block). L0707: The size of array is not same. : The size of array used in MOVE function as the IO parameter must be same. L0708: Unknown function. : Unavailable function. Check whether the function is user-defined function. L0709: Instance name is omitted. : The instance name is omitted in the function block. Check the input items.

387 17. SoftMaster Simulator 17.1 Overview of the SoftMaster simulator (SIM) Features of SoftMaster-SIM SoftMaster-SIM is a simulated PLC for MasterLogic PLC series. If using the SoftMaster- SIM, you can run your program without the PLC, or you can debug a PLC program by using input condition setting or module simulation function. SoftMaster-SIM supports the following function: Program simulation You can simulate the program written by LD/SFC/ST in the SoftMaster. It supports online editing by which you can edit during RUN mode and debugging function by which you can trace the program as step unit. PLC online function You can use program monitoring function and online diagnosis function such as system monitoring, address monitoring, trend monitoring, data trace, and custom events. Module simulation You can simulate the digital I/O module, A/D conversion module, D/A conversion module, counter, temperature control module, positioning module. By using simulation function, you can set the input value of each module. I/O input condition setting You can set address value by setting specific address value or channel value of the module as input condition. If you use I/O input condition setting, you need not write other program to test PLC program. System configuration for execution of SoftMaster-SIM The system configuration required by SoftMaster-SIM is higher than that of SoftMaster. Minimum specification: Pentium 3900MHz, RAM 256MB.

388 17. SoftMaster Simulator Overview of the SoftMaster simulator (SIM) ATTENTION In case of minimum specification, the fixed period scan may not operate properly because scan period may be longer than the fixed period and disconnection may occur. Despite using recommended specification, if system load is heavy, same phenomenon may occur. And regardless of system specification, according to user setting like system s SLEEP mode, disconnection can occur. When using fixed period, fixed period error/warning dialog box may not display. Starting SoftMaster-SIM Perform the following steps to start SoftMaster-SIM. 1 Start SoftMaster and write the program to execute through the SoftMaster- SIM. 2 On the SoftMaster menu, click Tools > Start Simulator. If SoftMaster-SIM is executed, the program is downloaded into SoftMaster-SIM automatically. If SoftMaster-SIM is executed, status becomes online, connection, stop. 3 Click Online > Change Mode > Run and execute the download program.

441 19.1 Overview 19. Event Input Module The 2MLF-SOEA Module (event input module) is used for recording of events entered from outside. The event input module is a data recording device which can record event information (time and state) in 1ms resolution. The event input module is not a program device or external device used in the CPU. Using the SOE monitor, the event input is available only for monitoring and file saving. 2MLK/I/R CPU: saves 3000 events at maximum (Up to 3000 events can be saved in the order of occurrence.) 2MLF-SOEA module: save 300 events at maximum. Characteristics of SOE monitor 1. This is a software package for the operation and monitoring of the 2MLF-SOEA module of 2MLT series. 2. This package provides a function that enables independent operation of the SOE monitor, regardless of the SoftMaster. 3. This enables data monitoring and saving. Functions of the SOE monitor The SOE monitor is an exclusive software package which runs on a PC platform and communicates with the CPU of ML200 series for easy and fast operation of 2MLF- SOEA.

In case of Electric cable, it displays the measured length of cable for port Port 2 Date: In case of Electric cable, it displays the measured date for port 1. Base changing wizard Base can be changed easily by Base Changing Wizard while PLC is operating. Base Changing Wizard has four steps: Selecting Base, Removing Base, Installing New Base, and Changing Base Finished. ATTENTION In 2MLR system, a part of expansion base can be exchanged according to configuration of expansion base. Ring topology: All expansion bases can be exchanged. Bus topology: In Bus topology, final expansion base is only changed. Perform the following steps to change base. 1 Click Online > Base Changing Wizard. 2 In Selecting Base window, select base for changing and click Next. 470 SoftMaster User's Guide R200 Honeywell January 2011

471 20. Dedicated ML200R Function System monitoring The field description for Selecting Base window are as follows: Field a b c d e f Description Information: Information of the Selected Base. Base module tree: It displays base module. Changeable base displays according to connection state of expansion base ( : Changeable base, : Non-changeable base). List of module on slot: It displays the information of module on selected base. Back: It is always in inactive mode while selecting base step. Next: Next step to Removing Base step. It is in active mode when you select changeable base. Cancel: Cancels Base Changing Wizard execution. ATTENTION If Base Changing Wizard execution is canceled, selected base is excluded from operation. Ensure to check Fault Mask and I/O Skip. R200 SoftMaster User's Guide 471 January 2011 Honeywell

The field description for Removing Base window are as follows: Field a b c d Description Information: Information of the Removed Base. Back: Cancels Removing Base, goes to previous step. Next: Moves to Installing Base. Cancel: Cancels Base Changing Wizard. ATTENTION Error in Removing Base is occurred when base is not removed. 4 Follow the information of Installing New Base, click Next. 472 SoftMaster User's Guide R200 Honeywell January 2011

473 20. Dedicated ML200R Function System monitoring The field description for Installing New Base window are as follows: Field a b c d Description Information: Information of Installing New Base. Back: It is in inactive mode after base is removed. Next: Moves to Changing Base Finished. Cancel: Cancels the Base Changing Wizard. ATTENTION Error in Installing New Base is occurred when base is not installed. If base is installed normally, error is occurred when module type is different within setting module in I/O parameter and real installed base. R200 SoftMaster User's Guide 473 January 2011 Honeywell
