14.3 Syntax

A Macro is made up of statements. The statements contain constants, variables and operators. The statements are put in a
specific order to create the desired output.
14.3.1 Constants and Variables
14.3.1.1 Constants
Constants are fixed values and can be entered directly into statements as:
Constant Type
Decimal Integer
Hexadecimal
ASCII
Boolean
Example statement using a constant:
C = 397
Where: C is a variable and 397 a constant.
Note: PLC and System registers and bits cannot be directly put into a Macro. Use the
GetData and SetData Statements to assign their values to Macro Variables for later use in
mathematical manipulation.
