STRING variable DOWN Version 5 06/95 When two or more possibilities can be selected at an input, the decision is made by the STRING variable. It corresponds to a selector switch. With STRING variables, every switch position is classified with an inscribed text, which appears in the display. Every STRING value carries a data word with up to 256 switch positions. The switch position is deposited in low bytes of the data word. Example: The frame material shall be selected in data word 40. The inscription or switching position is selected with the +/- key. Acceptance follows with the ENTER key.

CSTRING variable The CSTRING variable corresponds to STRING variable. Acceptance follows directly after using the +/- key without ENTER

BCD variable: BCD-1, BCD-2, BCD0-1, BCD0-2

The nominal value of the BCD variable corresponds to that of a BCD thumbwheel switch and the actual value to that of a BCD digital display. The 4 digit (decimal positions) variable BCD-1 is allocated to a word, the 8 digit variable BCD 2 to two consecutive following words 32 bits (W n, W n+1). BCD variables are displayed without pre-zeros. For example a BCD 2 actual value is: 4 2567. The 4 digit variable  BCD0-1 is allocated to a word, the 8 digit variable BCD0 to two consecutive following words 32 bits (W n, W n+1). BCD0 variables are displayed with pre-zeros. For example the actual value of a BCD0 is: 0004 2567 Every BCD value is limited to a min/max value. Example: The batch size per window type is written in word 30 as a 4 digit nominal value without min/max limits. BCD CODED 4 + 3 + 2 + 1 +–––––– The nominal value input "8500" takes place with the ten key keyboard of the PCS and is transfered to the word with the ENTER BCD coded key

BINARY variables: BIN-1, BIN-2, BIN-A, BIN-B, VBIN-1, VBIN-2, VBIN-A, VBIN-B, BIN0-1, BIN0-2, BIN0-A, BIN0-B, VBIN0-1, VBIN0-2, VBIN0-A, VBIN0-B

The nominal value of the BIN variable corresponds to that of a BIN thumbwheel switch and the actual value to that of a BIN digital display. The scaled 16 bit variables (BIN-1 to VBIN-A) are allocated to a word, the 32 bit variables (BIN-2 to VBIN-B) to two consecutive following words (W n, W n+1). The variables (V)BIN(0)-1,2 only differ from those of the (V)BIN(0)-A, B in the way the characters are loaded (V)BIN0-1,2 and (V)BIN-1,2 are with and without pre-zeros repectively VBIN(0)-1,2A,B take the operational sign into consideration. Every (V)BIN variable is limited by a min/max value. In addition the (V)BIN-1,A variables can be scaled. Example: The temperature of the engine brake can be set between 0°C and 70°C. The scaled 16 bit nominal value is written into the word W 45 with a min/ max limit. Example: The window height is adjustable between 750 mm and 1500 mm. The 32 bit nominal value is written into the word 41+42 with a min/max limit. The higher value part remains in W 41, the lower value part in W 42.

WORD variable

The WORD variable is specially suitable for service. Die Darstellung kann sowohl bitweise (KM), hexadezimal (KH) oder byteweise dezimal (KY) erfolgen. An alteration of the bit pattern with the PCS is possible if the WORD variable is defined as a nominal value. WORD VARIABLE BIT CONFIGURATION     DATA VALIDITY 00001101     11001110 TIMER VARIABLE TIMER 235.1 Version 5 06/95 Example: The word 33 is to be displayed and altered in the PCS display: Alteration of the nominal value WORD variable takes place in a menu. Display line 1 Display line 2 BIT PATTERN OF WORD 33 0000000000000101 The value of the WORD variable can be changed with the "0" or "1" key. The "+" key switches the pointer one place to the right and with the "–" key, one place to the left. Display line 1 Display- line 2 BIT PATTERN OF WORD 33 1111000011000000 The ENTER key puts the new value into the word

TIMER variable

The TIMER variable allows an input of a 3 digit numeric input (BCD) and a timebase value with 4 selection (displayed as text). Example: Word 100 should be displayed in Timerformat. The content of word 100 is KH1235. If the timebase is defined as ".0", ".1", ".2" and ".3" in the display "235.1" is visible. The value is defined with the key "0"..."9". The selection between base and value is done with the (.) key. The timebase is selectable with + or - key or direct input with "0" bis "3" key

ASCII variable

If an alphabetical nominal value is required (article number, name etc.) the ASCII variable provides it in a simple manner.
