Workshop PG5
Drag-n-drop symbols:
Resources
You can drag-n-drop symbols from the symbol editor into any editor.
Auto complete
symbols:
If you use long symbol names your program will become easier to read. On the
other hand it will be annoying if you have to re-enter the long symbol name
each time you use it in the program. Therefore you can simply enter the first
letters of a symbol, and then lookup all the symbols which match those letters,
by using the keys “CTRL and SPACEBAR”:
Example:
ENTER
CTRL + SPACE
This works in Instruction list as well as in the FUPLA editor.
Auto allocation:
Until now weve always declared the elements like this:
Symbol name Type Address
Comment
Example: Pumpspeed R 2000 ;Speed in l/min
If you are entering any symbol type, other than an input or an output, you do
not have to enter an address for them. If you don’t enter an address then the
PG5 will give an address to your element at build time. We call this autoallocation.
The PG5 will look up in the software settings the address range
configured for that element, and assign one during the build process.
Example:
You declare a register in your program and you don’t give an address to it:
The register will get a number between 3500 and 4095 during the build process
because in the “Software” settings we declared the dynamic space between
3500 and 4095 for registers.
