4.2.15 Program coordination

4.2.15 Program coordination
The "Program coordination" function is an Option.
The program coordination function allows several programs to be synchronized in their
execution. Programs run in different channels can be matched to one another.
The program coordination function must be implemented in the PLC. This can be done by
FX38 and FX39 (package 0) as standard procedure.
A coordination command consists of the command identifier and a maximum of 8 parameters.
The command identifier and the first parameter must be separated by a blank (space).
The individual parameters of the parameter chain must be separated by a comma or/and a
blank. The last parameter can be followed by a blank before the square bracket.
In each part program block only one coordination command is permitted. One comment is
allowed in each block. Within a square bracket of the coordination command no further
brackets (no comment either) are allowed.
"[ ]" can be used for coordination commands only; not, however, for comments.
" , " can be entered only within the square bracket.
The character " , " cannot be searched for within a part program. In simulation, coordination
commands are skipped. A coordination command programmed in a block and a comment are
displayed together. If the displays are longer than the maximum number of characters of the
command line, the remaining text is truncated.
The following coordination commands can be programmed:
START
WAIT E
WAIT M
INIT MPF
INIT SPF
END
A coordination command is enclosed in square brackets ([ ]). The parameters must be
separated by a comma or a blank. A blank can be inserted before the comma
• Coordination command "START": Start of the part programs in the specified channels.
Programming:
Example:
Numerical values between 1 and 16 and/or R parameters are allowed as global channel
numbers. A maximum of 8 channel numbers/parameters can be specified. R parameters
are permissible from 0 to 599.
4–46
The order code is: B56
[ START K., K., ...]
K. = channel number (specification only digits 1...16)
[ START 01, 02, 03] or [ START R50, R51, R52]
