Turbo PMAC On-line Command Specification 390

Q{constant}..{constant}={constant}

where:

 the first {constant} is an integer from 0 to 8190 representing the number of the first Q-variable;

 the second {constant} is an integer from 1 to 8191 representing the number of the last Q-variable;

it must be at least as great as the first {constant}

 the final {constant} contains the value to be given to the specified range of Q-variables

Q{constant},{constant},{constant}={constant}

where:

 the first {constant} is an integer from 0 to 8190 representing the number of the first Q-variable;

 the second {constant} is an integer from 1 to 8191 representing the number Q-variables whose

value is to be set;

 the third {constant} is an integer from 1 to 8191 representing the numerical spacing between each

Q-variable whose value is to be set;

 the final {constant} contains the value to be given to the specified set of Q-variables

This command causes Turbo PMAC to assign the value of the expression to the specified Q-variable or

range of Q-variables for the addressed coordinate system.

If a motion or PLC program buffer is open when the single-variable form of this command is sent to

Turbo PMAC, the command will be entered into the buffer for later execution. If a motion or PLC

program buffer is open when the multiple-variable form of this command is sent, Turbo PMAC will reject

the command with an error, reporting ERR003 if I6 is 1 or 3.

Example:

Q100=2.5

Q20= Q18*SIN(Q19)

Q(P1+P2)=2.71828

Q(200+Q1)=P1*LN(7.5)

Q1..10=0

Q20,5,10=7.5 ; Sets Q20, Q40, Q60, Q80, & Q100 to 7.5
