PreĆdefined Common Memory Variables

The following common memory variables are preĆdefined for every

rack. However, they do not appear on the form for common memory

variables. You must enter these variable names on the form if you

want to use these variables in application tasks.
AUTORUNSTATUS@ Ć True when AUTO RUN is enabled for the

rack; false if AUTO RUN is not enabled

FORCINGSTATUS@ Ć True when a variable is forced in the rack;

false when no variables are forced in the

rack

BATTERYSTATUS0@ Ć True when the onĆboard battery of the

Processor module or Common Memory

module in slot 0 is OK

BATTERYSTATUS1@ Ć ăIăIăIăIăIăIăIăIăIăIăIăIă1ăIăIăI

BATTERYSTATUS2@ Ć ăIăIăIăIăIăIăIăIăIăIăIăIă2ăIăIăI

BATTERYSTATUS3@ Ć ăIăIăIăIăIăIăIăIăIăIăIăIă3ăIăIăI

BATTERYSTATUS4@ Ć ăIăIăIăIăIăIăIăIăIăIăIăIă4ăIăIăI

Constants

A constant, also known as a literal, is a fixed value that is not

associated with a variable name. Listed below are the five types of

constants that can be used in AutoMax, along with their size

limitations.
1. Single and double integer constants (whole numbers)
2. Hexadecimal constants (whole numbers in base 16 or hex"

format)

3. Real (decimal) constants
4. String constants (alphanumeric and/or special characters)
5. Boolean constants

4.2.1

Integer Constants

An integer constant is a whole number with no fractional part. For

example, the following numbers are all integer constants:
29

-8

3432

1

12345

205

The following are not integer constants:
1.6

.08

754.2

5.2041E+06

Recall that BASIC integer constants must fall in the range -32768 to

+32767 when used as single 16Ćbit integer variables (ending in %),

or in the range -2147483648 to +2147483647 when used as

double (32Ćbit) integer variables (ending with !). If you specify a

number outside the appropriate range, BASIC prints a compiler

error message telling you to replace the number with one within the

proper limits.
