Block
Text
'$FTP'
Alarm
This block defines an Alarm property except Alarm Group. Set the desired Alarm property.

This block defines a Recipe property (except Recipe Control properties). Set the desired Recipe property.
Block
Text
'$Ingredient.RecipeFamily1'
Recipe Control
This block defines a Recipe Control property. Set the desired Recipe Control property.
Block
Text
'$RecipeControl.RecipeControl1'
After specifying the Recipe Control properties ([Recipe Family ID],
[Recipe Group ID] and [Recipe ID]), execute the [Recipe] operation.
[Recipe Control] alone cannot perform operations on the recipe data.
Recipe
(Example)
When reading recipe data with FamilyID=1,
GroupID=1
and RecipeID=1
Block
Text
'$RecipeControl.RecipeControl1.FamilyID
= 1;
$RecipeControl.RecipeControl1.GroupID = 1;
$RecipeControl.RecipeControl1.RecipeID = 1;
loadRecipe();'
Operation Log
This block defines an Operation Log property. Set the desired Operation Log property.
Block
Text
'$OperationLog'
Equipment
This block defines the equipment property. Set the desired Equipment property.Block
Text
'$Device.ModbusTCPDriver1.SchneiderModbusTCPIPEquipment1.ScanOffStatus'
Language Text ID
This block specifies the table ID using a value block such as a variable block or constant block.
If the table ID value is out of range or the variable quality is "bad", the trigger or operation that uses this block will not execute and the script will execute the next trigger or operation.
Which table string is output is specified by the [User Language ID].
[Target01] property window ➞ Function] tab ➞ [Options] tab ➞ [Preferences]Block
Text
'getLanguageText(EXPRESSION)'
(Example)
In the following, if the [User Language ID] is 1 and table ID is 1, output is "blue".
Block
Text
'getLanguageText(1)'
This block outputs text with the font type set in the language table. If the font type of the output text does not match the font type of the object, such as a switch that uses the text, the text may not display properly.
To match font types, associate the object's font type to the source property 'Target01.Preference.LanguageID' of [User Language ID]. Note that when associating source properties, create and select a range converter that converts the language ID to the font type value (Dec) set in the language table.
