Soft_Bool
A Soft Bool can be used in logic programs by creating a
variable in the logic program that points to the Soft Bool as if
it were physical I/O. This allows the logic program to examine
and set values of Soft Bools. The I/O address for Soft Bools is
the Soft Bool number.
To read or set a Soft Bool with a logic program variable:
1.
Open the
Add Program/Resource Variable
dialog
box.
2.
Enter a unique variable
Name
.
3.
Select
BOOL
from the Type list.
4.
Select
Input
or
Output
by clicking the corresponding check
box.
5.
Select
Soft_Bool
from the
IO Driver
list.
6.
In the
IO Physical Address
field enter the Soft Bool num-
ber (1-256).
7.
Click
[OK]
Soft Bool Addressing Example
To create a variable named Soft_Bool_178 that sets the value
of soft bool 178, set the options in the
Add Program/
Resource Variable
