New: Saving the states of PLC operands in an ASCII file / Loading the
states of PLC operands from an ASCII file
Within the TABLE function (PLC programming operating mode) you can now
use the SAVE M/B/W/D soft key to save the states of selectable operands
or operand ranges in an ASCII file *.A. The RESTORE M/B/W/D soft key is
used to load the saved states from an ASCII file. Multiple operands must be
separated by a comma, ranges are indicated by two periods (..). Example:
M0..M127,B0..B799,B800..B999,M1250
This function is especially useful if servicing becomes necessary, and the
states of non-volatile operands are to be transferred to a new computer unit,
for example.
Soft key Function
Save states of selectable operand ranges in an ASCII file.
Ranges of more than one operand can be saved,
e.g. M0..M100,W100..W118
Load the states of saved operands from an ASCII file
New: Enhanced diagnostic information for Python scripts
(option 46)
The MANUALplus 620 now writes additional diagnostic information about
the starting and stopping of a Python script in an additional log file. The path
of the log file is PLC:\service\[script name].a. If a serious error occurs in
the script, the complete sequence of all function calls (traceback) is written
to the log file. The information is also displayed in the error message and
copied to the general error log.
New: Support of pop-up menus
The MANUALplus 620 now supports the display of pop-up menus. You can
make pop-up menus with the program MenuDesign (provided in the
PLCdesignNT package). A pop-up menu is called through an OEM soft key
in the vertical soft-key row and covers the horizontal soft-key row with OEM
soft-keys. This function is interesting, for example, when you need
additional space for soft keys for more comprehensive tasks in the PLC. See
"Pop-up menu" on page 1310.
