ECT
The ECT Compile application compiles the source code in the active edit window.
The result of a ”clean” compile is executable code for the motion controller. The
compiler also generates a list file with cross-references and a list of variables and
constants used in the program.
The ECT compiler performs a number of functions
• Preprocessing.
Involves include files, macro definition and expansion, and conditional
compilation.
• Lexical analysis.
Recognizes different categories of word-like units, referred to as tokens.
• Phrase structure grammar.
Details the rules by which tokens can be grouped together to form expressions,
statements, and other significant units.
ACCESSING COMPILE
Compile is accessed through the Edit application. When Compile is selected from
the Edit application speed bar, the text in the active edit window is automatically
compiled. However, prior to compiling source code, verify the compiler settings are
correct. Accessing the compiler setup window is described in the following section.
