Example of a Project Function and/or Standard Function

Switching on a motor:
Events/ Mouse/ Left mouse button/ C function...
BitSet ( 1, "MotorStatus", 2);
0 /*Bit 2 is set in the MotorStatus tag, to reset the
bit use: BitSet ( 0, MotorStatus, 2)*/

A function defined in the Global Script (Standard Functions:

void BitSet(BOOL OnOff, char* lpszWordtag, WORD wbitnumber)
{

WORD winput = 0; // Create local tags

int iscreen = 1;

winput = GetTagWord ( lpszWordtag ) ; // Read process tags

iscreen <<= ( wbitnumber ); // Create bit mask
if (OnOff == 0 ) { // Reset bit ?
winput = (WORD) ( winput & (~iscreen) ); // Reset bit
}
else {
winput = (WORD) ( winput | iscreen ); // Set bit
}
SetTagWord ( lpszWordtag, winput); // Rewrite process tag
}

Background Processing (Actions) with Global Script

Operating hours.PAS
WORD HOUR, MINUTE;
BYTE Z_ON;

Z_ON = GetTagByte ("Z_On");

if (Z_ON) {
MINUTE = GetTagWord ("Minutes");
MINUTE = MINUTE + 1;
SetTagWord ("Minutes", MINUTE);

HOUR = MINUTE / 60;

SetTagWord ("operating hours", HOUR);
}
return(HOUR);

Note: Global Script must be activated in the computer startup list

Example with Functions from DLLs

Counting with the DLL function

Events/ Button/ Mouse/ Press left/ C action...

#pragma code (d:\ab_pas\library\demo_dll.dll")
int CountingDll(int start, int end);
#pragma code()

int result, start, end, partial step;

partial step = GetTagDWord("partial step");

printf("\r\n\r\noutput of 10 partial steps with DLL function ");
printf("to max. value: %d",partial step*10);
for (start=0;start<10;start++) {
end = start * partial step + partial step;
result = countingDll(start*partial step,end);
printf("\r\nReturn value DLL function: (%d) %d",start,result);
}
