Soft_Int

A Soft Int can be used in logic programs by creating a variable in the
logic program that points to the Soft Int as if it were physical I/O.
This allows the logic program to examine and set values of Soft Ints.
For example, a Soft Int could be used to allow a user to set a timer
preset in a logic Program. The I/O address for a Soft Int is the Soft
Int number.

To associate a variable with a Soft Int:

1.

Open the Add Program/Resource Variable dialog box.

2.

Enter a unique variable Name.

3.

4.

7.

In the IO Physical Address field, enter the Soft Int number
(1-100).
