Variables in Modbus SetRegisterS16

[CamEra]

Hi,

A few months ago you helped me with working how to talk to a modbus instrument - an SEW Modbus gateway to control motor speed. Just got back to lookling at this and have a small problem.

The code we used was

device.Movitrac.SetRegisterS16(255,4,{518,10928,2730})

the first address is 4 and the three values are - 518 turns the motor on and the second value (10928) sets the speed with 16384 being equal to maximum speed which can be set to the actual max speed of the mote , in this case 1500 rpm so the 10928 is 1000 rpm, the third does not matter.

The above code works but I want to be able to vary the motor speed by changing a variable which is then sent to the controller e.g. to set it at 900 rpm the calculation

speed = 900/1500 * 16384 which would put speed = 9830 would be done and then the code would read

device.Movitrac.SetRegisterS16(255,4,{518,speed,2730})

this doesn't work, gives me an error

C1000 Channel or function not found: MyStart Line 3 - Uncaught error in sequence MyStart

Any ideas?

Thanks

George

You can't put anything but constants inside of {} notation. What you need to do is use a variable for all three values. Something like this:

global myVar = {518,10928, 2730}

(use a better name than myVar)

then to write:

device.Movitrac.SetRegisterS16(255,4,myVar)

Now to change the second number, you just do:

myVar[1] = 9830

and call the device.movitrac..... code again

Typically, I figured it would be simple, I look forward to trying it tomorrow. As always very quick service and * very clear answer. Thanks
