Reads the value of an address from a PLC, or writes a value to an address in
a PLC. This function allows logical names.
Example 1 - Reading a value from the PLC using a logical name.
intVal = CXServer.Value("BoilerTemp")
or
intVal = CXServer ("BoilerTemp")
In these examples, the PLC address associated with 'BoilerTemp' will be read
from the PLC and stored in 'intVal'. "Value" is the default property and does
not have to be specified.
Example 2 - Writing a value to the PLC using a logical name.
CXServer.Value("BoilerTemp") = 50
or
CXServer ("BoilerTemp") = 50
In these examples, the value 50 will be written to the PLC address associated
with 'BoilerTemp'. "Value" is the default property and does not have to be
specified.
Reads an array of values from a PLC, or writes an array of values to a PLC.
This function allows logical names. If an array is used then a SAFEARRAY is
returned with all values.
Example 1 - Reading an array of values from the PLC using a logical name.
SomeArray = CXServer.Values("BoilerTemps")
Example 2 - Writing an array of values to the PLC using a logical name.
CXServer.Values("BoilerTemps") = SomeArray
