Using the Command Line Instruction Entry Feature
You can enter an instruction mnemonic and any parameters visible from the ladder
display from the command line. This feature allows you to enter one instruction and
its address at a time. For example:
XIC B3/1 .
While entering the parameters, if you omit a parameter by typing two consecutive
commas, the parameters typed are entered into the instruction and you are prompted
for the remaining parameters.
When using command line instruction entry to modify an existing instruction, APS
assumes that you want to modify the instruction that the cursor is on. If you have
just started a new rung, use command line entry to program new instructions.
Instructions that Must be Entered Using Command Line Entry
There are several new instructions that are only available through command line
entry. They are: SIN, COS, TAN, ASN, ACS, ATN, LN, LOG, ABS, DEG, RAD,
and XPY.
Instructions that Cannot be Entered Using Command Line Entry
Because of the uniqueness of some instructions and their operands, the following
instructions’ operands cannot be entered using the command line entry:
•
Message (MSG) — SLC 5/03 and SLC 5/04 instruction only
•
Service Communications (SVC) — SLC 5/03 and SLC 5/04 instruction only
•
Refresh (REF) — SLC 5/03 and SLC 5/04 instruction only
Exception — When entering the PID instruction, only the first three instruction
operands may be entered. You cannot enter the control block parameters from the
command line.
