Name

The ‘Name’ field refers to a ‘C’ style variable for function names associated with the transaction. Use of these names is not necessary to interface with the transaction. These names may be used in present and future software drivers and libraries provided by Baldor. When used in conjunction with Baldor software tools, the transaction name is case sensitive.

Type

There are three basic transaction types: Set, Get, and those

which do both: Set/Get.

S‘Set’ transactions are used to change internal values, or execute one–time (nonmodal) commands. As a general rule most ‘set’ transactions pass data to the control, but do not return any. Most execution ‘set’ commands do not pass or return data.

S‘Get’ transactions are used to retrieve internal values or control conditions. Most ‘get’ transactions return data but do not pass data.

S‘Set/Get’ transactions do both functions. Usually these transaction always return data, but only accept or pass data when a ‘set’ or change function is occurring. When no data is passed, the ‘Set/Get’ functions as a ‘Get’ or read–only transaction.

When a transaction does not fit these general rules, both passed and returned data fields will be clearly specified.
