1-1 What is Macro?

Macro is the function which can be executed by users original program. User can add functions,

such as arithmetic operations and distinction of conditions, which are not supported by standard

functions in CX-Designer. This function allows the PT to process screen display or data, which

is performed by PLC before. It is also possible to reduce a load of PLC. In this manual, the

timing for executing macro is called “Macro Execution Condition”. Macro can be made by

roughly divided three execution conditions as shown below.

-Execution condition for the project

-Execution condition for the screen

-Execution condition for the functional objects

There is no restriction on the number of macros for 1 project/1screen.

Up to 3000 characters can be used for one macro. Line feed is counted as two characters.

There is also no restriction on the number of lines.

Example:

‘Number of inputting characters 11 characters+line

b feed (2characters), including comment

$W0=10; 7characters+line feed (2characters)

STRCPY($W10”,ABCDE”); 21characters

In this case, 43 characters are used.

1-2 Macro Execution Condition

Macros can be created for each project, screen, and functional objects. Also they can be

created for the following execution conditions.

Executing conditions for the project

Macro execution conditions that can be made for the project are indicated below.

Select [PT]-[Project Properties]-[Macro] tab in CX-Designer, then set execution condition and

record macro.

For details on registering macros, refer to the online CX-Designer Help ‘System Settings and

Project Properties’.

Execution condition Explanation

When Loading a Project Execute just before loading the first screen after

starting up NS-Hardware

ON timing Alarm/Event

occurred Execute when alarm is occurred

ON timing Alarm/Event is

canceled Execute when alarm is cancelled

When a bit changed Set macro to execute when the address of specified

bit type is changed. Up to 10 macros can be set.

When a value changed Set macro to execute when the address of specified

word type is changed. Up to 10 macros can be set.

Execution conditions for the screen

Macro execution conditions that can be made for each screen are indicated below.

Select [PT]-[Screen/Sheet Properties]-[Macro] tab screen in CX-Designer, then set execution

condition and record macro.

For details on registering macros, refer to the online CX-Designer Help ‘Creating Screens’

Execution condition Explanation

When Loading a Screen Execute immediately after reading screen data to

display the next

When Unloading a Screen Execute immediately after closing the current screen

Execution conditions for the functional objects

Macro execution conditions that can be made for each functional object are described in the

following table.

Open property dialog for each functional object and select [Macro] tab page, then set the

execution condition and create macro.

For details on registering macros, refer to the online CX-Designer Help ‘Creating Functional

Objects’.

Execution condition Explanation

Touch on Timing Execute when functional object is pressed.

Touch off Timing Execute when functional object is released

Before Inputting numeral or character

string Execute just before display tenkey pad or virtual

keyboard for inputting values or strings

Before Writing numeral or character

string Execute just before notice numeral and character

string to the host.

When changing numeral and character

string and comparing numeral Execute when changing the value of address.

When Processing Display Area Execute when display area for alarm display is

pressed.

When Selecting an Alarm/Event Execute just after select each alarm/event displayed

on Alarm/Event Summary

When selecting a list Execute just after select a list displayed on the List

Selection.

Note

If the password is set for functional objects, the following macros are executed after

inputting the password. If the password has been cancelled for inputting, macros will not

be executed.

- Touch on/Touch off timing

- Before inputting Numeral/Character string

- When pressing Display Area

- When selecting an Alarm/Event

- When selecting a list

1-3 Macro Programming

This section describes macro creation procedures and programming terms.

The Method for Writing a Macro

Delimiter of the Program

Put a semicolon (;) at the end of each program as a delimiter. However, it is not

necessary for IF (), ELSEIF (), ELSE(),ENDIF.

Example;

$W0=2;

IF ($W0>=10)

$W5=$W0-$W2;

ELSE

$W5=$W0+$W2;

ENDIF

Comment

Put single quotation mark at the beginning of the sentence when you add the comment

for each program. From single quotation mark (‘) to the end of character sting will be

regarded as a comment.

Example:

$W0 = 100; ‘Comment

‘Comment

IF ($W1==200)

···

Writing Programming Terms

Both uppercase and lowercase can be used for programming macros because they are

not classified.

Example:

-MovePopwDown () and MOVEPOPWDOWN() are regarded as same function.

-[Host1:DM0]and [host1:dm0] are regarded as same host address.
