Turbo PMAC On-line Command Specification 318

DISABLE PLC

Function: Disable specified PLC programs.

Scope: Global

Syntax: DISABLE PLC {constant}[,{constant}]

DIS PLC {constant}[,{constant}]

DISABLE PLC {constant}..{constant}

DIS PLC {constant}..{constant}

where

 {constant} is an integer from 0 to 31, representing the program number

This command causes Turbo PMAC to disable (stop executing) the specified uncompiled PLC program

or programs. Execution can subsequently be resumed at the top of the program with the ENABLE PLC

command. If it is desired to restart execution at the stopped point, execution should be stopped with the

PAUSE PLC command, and restarted with the RESUME PLC command

The on-line DISABLE PLC command can only suspend execution of a PLC program at the end of a

scan, which is either the end of the program, or after an ENDWHILE statement in the program. PLC

programs are specified by number, and may be specified in a command singularly, in a list (separated by

commas), or in a range of consecutively numbered programs. PLC programs can be re-enabled by using

the ENABLE PLC command. If a motion or PLC program buffer is open when this command is sent to

Turbo PMAC, the command will be entered into that buffer for later execution.

Example:

DISABLE PLC 1

DIS PLC 5

DIS PLC 3,4,7

DISABLE PLC 0..31
