• A range of PPCL lines cannot be defined using the
DEACT command.
Use
Disables lines of PPCL code to prevent them from being examined
or executed.
• The DEACT command only affects the lines of PPCL program for
the device where the program resides.
• DEACT only disables PPCL lines that are specifically defined in
the command.
• A maximum of 16 lines of PPCL code can be controlled with one
DEACT command.

Unitary pre-APOGEE APOGEE BACnet
 
Syntax
DEFINE(abbrev,string)
abbrev Abbreviation used in other PPCL statements. Represents the
string parameter.
string Actual text string that will be substituted where the
abbreviation is used. The string text usually contains a
significant portion of a long point name.
Use
Creates an abbreviated notation for a long point name. DEFINE
allows program logic to be easily duplicated provided your facility
uses a structured naming convention for point names.
A percentage sign (%) must be placed before and after the
abbreviation when it is used in the program.
Example
10 DEFINE(AHU,”BUILDING1.AHU01.”)
20 ON(“%AHU%SFAN”)
If DEFINE is not used, this same line of code looks like the following:
20 ON(“BUILDING1.AHU01.SFAN”)
Notes
This statement is executed when added to the field panel and does
not require enabling or execution in the normal program flow.
