Looping group outputs

Terzi · Apr 11th 2017

Hi all. I am working with a program, which has quite many group outputs for sending data from the robot to PLC. It is quite painful to keep setting and resetting the outputs all the time, so I was wondering that is it possible to simplify this with a for loop.

I have something like this.

Code

VAR num outputBuffer{30};


SetGO go1,outputBuffer{1};
SetGO go2,outputBuffer{2};
SetGO go3,outputBuffer{3};
....
SetGO go30,outputBuffer{30};

Would it be possible to somehow loop it like this?

Code

FOR i FROM 1 TO Dim(outputBuffer,1) DO
        go<i> := outputBuffer{i};
ENDFOR

to use signals as a array you have to first declare a array of signals and attach to your signals, like this:

Code

MODULE MainModule
  VAR num outputBuffer{15};
  VAR signalgo groupOutputs{15};


  PROC main()
    AliasIO go1,groupOutputs{1};
    AliasIO go2,groupOutputs{2};
    AliasIO go3,groupOutputs{3};
    AliasIO go4,groupOutputs{4};
    AliasIO go5,groupOutputs{5};
    AliasIO go6,groupOutputs{6};
    AliasIO go7,groupOutputs{7};
    AliasIO go8,groupOutputs{8};
    AliasIO go9,groupOutputs{9};
    AliasIO go10,groupOutputs{10};
    AliasIO go11,groupOutputs{11};
    AliasIO go12,groupOutputs{12};
    AliasIO go13,groupOutputs{13};
    AliasIO go14,groupOutputs{14};
    AliasIO go15,groupOutputs{15};
    FOR i FROM 1 TO Dim(outputBuffer,1) DO
      SetGO groupOutputs{i},outputBuffer{i};
    ENDFOR
  ENDPROC
ENDMODULE
