Refer to the section on addressing for the correct format of the address. A
string is returned that contains one character for each of the addresses
that have been requested. Each character is a “1” or a “0,” i.e.
011100010101.
GetManyBit(PLCNum,address,address,address,etc)
Example:
on idle
put GetBit(27,”43073/1”,”43120/5”) into temp
if the 1 char of temp= 1 then
do something
else
do something else
if the 2 char of temp= 0 then
do something
else
do something else
end idle
Example:
on openCard
put GetNumLoggedEvents() into theNumber
end openCard
This command and “GetALoggedEvent” can be used in conjunction to
display all or part of the events logged. The following is one example of
scripting.
on startUp
global lastEventCount
put 0 into lastEventCount
end startUp
on openCard
global lastEventCount
if lastEventCount = 0 then
put “” into card field AlarmField
— the “AlarmField” is multi-line
end if
put GetNumLoggedEvents() into theNumber
— how many events are there total
put theNumber - lastEventCount into numberToGet
— how many do we need to get
if numberToGet > 0 then
set the cursor to watch
— show the watch
