ACT (Activate lines)
Unitary pre-APOGEE APOGEE BACnet
Syntax
ACT(line1,...,line16)
line1
through
line16
Valid PPCL line numbers.
• Line numbers must be entered as integers ranging
from 1 to 32767.
• A range of PPCL lines cannot be defined using the
ACT command.
Use
Activates lines of PPCL code so they can be examined and
executed.
• The ACT command only affects the lines of PPCL program for
the device where the program resides.
• ACT only enables PPCL lines that are specifically defined in the
command.
• A maximum of 16 lines of PPCL code can be controlled with one
ACT command.
Example
100 IF (TIME.GT.8:00.AND.TIME.LT.17:00) THEN
ACT(120) ELSE DEACT(120)
Notes
The ACT and ENABLE commands can be used interchangeably.
