4.1 XCMD's & XFCN's Included with the EagleVision software package are two files, ”EagleVision Supercard” and ”EagleVision Hypercard.” These files contain a suite of XCMD's and XFCN's. A1819 A1818 XCMD's (External Commands) and XFCN's (External Functions) allow other compatible application programs to interface with the EagleVision application program. This interface includes the retrieval of data from EagleVision and the sending of data to EagleVision. Below is a list of the included XCMD's and XFCN's.
4.2 XCMD's & XFCN's For use in HyperCard, they must reside in either the stack from which they will be called or within the resource fork of the HyperCard application. This is done using a resource editor such as Apple Computer's ”ResEdit” program. Other methods would be to clone the sample stack that contains the XCMD's and use it as a template, or copy them from the “EagleVision Supercard” project file provided with EagleVision.
XCMD's & XFCN's This command gets an event that is in the log file. The count is from the start of the file. 4.3 GETALOGGEDEVENT GetALoggedEvent(theLoggedEventNumber) Example: on openCard put GetALoggedEvent(theNumber) into theString end openCard This command returns the state (1 or 0) of up to fifteen bits in the PLC. The addresses that the operator requests the state of must be configured in the “Datatable Configuration” window of the EagleVision™ application.
4.4 GETMANYBIT XCMD's & XFCN's Refer to the section on addressing for the correct format of the address. A string is returned that contains one character for each of the addresses that have been requested. Each character is a “1” or a “0,” i.e. 011100010101.
XCMD's & XFCN's 4.5 set the lockScreen to true — speed up getting the data put lastEventCount into count — where do we start from repeat for numberToGet — get all of the new ones put GetALoggedEvent(count) into tempString — the XFCN.
4.6 XCMD's & XFCN's While the operator is looking at the event log, a new event might occur. The following script checks for new events during idle and displays any new event. This script is similar to the one above. The difference is that some things are done at a different time.
XCMD's & XFCN's This command will return the changed bit of the datatable requested. 4.7 GETTABLESTATE GetTableState(3) Example: on openCard if GetTableState(3) then beep end if end openCard The datatables maintain a CRC (Cyclic Redundancy Check) that is compared to any new data that is received from the PLC. If the data is different from the last data received, a flag is set. Calling this command returns the state of the flag and clears it.
4.8 GETZONESTATE XCMD's & XFCN's This command will return the changed bit of the zone requested. Zones are numbered 1-256. GetZoneState(3) Example: on openCard if GetZoneState(3) then beep end if end openCard If the value of the zone status has changed, then this bit will be set. If the bit is set since the last time this call was made (for this zone) the status has changed. GETZONESTATUS This command gets the status (0-4) of any single zone.
XCMD's & XFCN's This command “Logs” any event in a text format. This command will log the data passed to the printer, today’s disk file and the event window. The data will be time stamped when it is logged. 4.9 LOGTOALL LogToAll theThingToLog Example: on mouseUp LogToAll “The operator activated the button” end mouseUp on mouseUp LogToAll someContainerThatHoldsAValue end mouseUp This command “Logs” any event in a text format. This command will log the data passed to today’s disk file.
4.10 LOGTOPRINTER XCMD's & XFCN's This command “Logs” any event in a text format. This command will log the data passed to the printer. The data will be time stamped when it is logged. LogToPrinter theThingToLog Example: on mouseUp LogToPrinter “The operator activated the button” end mouseUp on mouseUp LogToPrinter someContainerThatHoldsAValue end mouseUp RESETBIT This command resets the state (0) of any single bit in the PLC. Refer to the section on addressing for the correct format of the address.
4.11 This command sets the state (1) of any single bit in the PLC. Refer to the section on addressing for the correct format of the address. This command can set any bit to one, in any PLC accessible on the network that is not protected.
4.12 SETTABLESTATE This command will set the changed bit of the datatable requested. SetTableState tableNumber Example: on openCard SetTableState 3 end openCard See command GetTableData SETWORD This command sets the value (–32768 to 32767) of any single word in the PLC. Refer to the section on addressing for the correct format of the address. This command can set any word to a value, in any PLC assessable on the network that is not protected.
