Hilscher’s hierarchical arrays
Thread Content
The array is defined in the underlying logic, but after compilation it’s not present at all in the higher-level variables. What should be done? Is it possible to define an array at the higher level and call it from the lower level? ? Has anyone used it before? Seeking advice from experts
One more question: does the CICODE programming language used in Allen-Bradley systems support statement structures like if……then……elsif……then end?
I’m not quite sure what you mean by an array – is it a term used in the computer industry? Generally, configuring Allen-Bradley systems is quite simple: first define the I/O points that need to be added, and then carry out the logical configuration while utilizing those additional points. Hilscher’s configuration software does not distinguish between upper and lower levels either; we simply use this term to refer to them in comparison with other configuration software. As for the second question, I haven’t tried it! Is such complex logic really necessary in instrument control?
I'm talking about the use of arrays in programming with Cicode within graphic configuration; can they be used in lower-level logic as well? Or if an array is defined at a lower level, can it be used in graphic configuration?
