4.8.2
Array Size Dimension Function Blocks
Array Size Dimension 1
Operands
Parameter Description
IN
Array of any data type.
Q
The value of the Array Dimension 1 property of the array
assigned to input IN. The value is set to 0 if a non-array is
assigned to IN.
Note:
Because the index of the first element of an
array is zero, the index of the last element is one
less than the value assigned to Q.
Array Size Dimension 2
Operands
Parameter Description
IN
Array of any data type.
Q
The value of the Array Dimension 2 property of the array
assigned to input IN. The value is set to 0 if a non-array is
assigned to IN.
Note:
Because the index of the first element of an
array is zero, the index of the last element is one
less than the value assigned to Q.
GFK-2950C
Returns the value of the Array Dimension 1 property of an array and
writes the value to output Q. If a non-array variable is assigned to IN, the
value of Q is 0.
In an LD or ST block that is not a parameterized block or a User Defined
Function Block (UDFB), you can use the output Q value to ensure that a
loop using a variable index to access array elements does not exceed the
array's first dimension.
Returns the value of the Array Dimension 2 property of an array and writes
the value to output Q. If a non-array variable is assigned to IN, the value of
Q is 0.
In an LD or ST block that is not a parameterized block or a User Defined
Function Block (UDFB), you can use the output Q value to ensure that a
loop using a variable index to access array elements does not exceed the
array''s second dimension.
