String instructions

REPLACE replaces the characters in the string IN1 with P denoting the first position to be replaced

and L denoting the number of characters to be replaced with the characters specified by IN2. The

result is written into the output variable.

To add an enable input and enable output to the instruction, select [With EN/ENO] from the

"Instructions" pane (LD, FBD or IL editor). To reuse an instruction select "Recently used" from the

context menu or press <Ctrl>+<Shift>+<v> in the programming window.

Availability of REPLACE (see page 1330)

 If the strings are longer than the length defined for the input variables

(input_string_1 and input_string_2) in the field "Type", an error occurs

(see Special Internal Relays for Error Handling).

 The number of steps may vary depending on the PLC and parameters

used, see also Table of Code Intensive Instructions in the online help.

(up to 200 steps)

In this example, the same POU header is used for all programming languages. For an example

using IL (instruction list), please refer to the online help.

All input and output variables which are required for programming the function are declared in the

In this example constant values are entered directly at the function's input contact pins. However,

you may declare variables in the POU header. The STRING values have to be put in inverted

commas, either in the POU header or at the contact pins. Here the 'c' in the STRING 'MrSpock' has

been replaced with an 'o', yielding 'MrSpook'.
