Deallocating Array Space
Array space may be deallocated using the DA command followed by the array name. DA*[0]
deallocates all the arrays.
Input of Data (Numeric and String)
Input of Data
The command, IN, is used to prompt the user to input numeric or string data. Using the IN command,
the user may specify a message prompt by placing a message in quotations. When the controller
executes an IN command, the controller will wait for the input of data. The input data is assigned to
the specified variable or array element.
Example- Inputting Numeric Data
#A
IN "Enter Length",lenA
EN
In this example, the message “Enter Length” is displayed on the computer screen. The controller waits
for the operator to enter a value. The operator enters the numeric value which is assigned to the
variable, lenA. (NOTE: Do not include a space between the comma at the end of the input message
and the variable name.)
Example- Cut-to-Length
In this example, a length of material is to be advanced a specified distance. When the motion is
complete, a cutting head is activated to cut the material. The length is variable, and the operator is
prompted to input it in inches. Motion starts with a start button which is connected to input 1.
