Figure 2. Example of Converted ASCII Output Message.
Port Numbers
Port 1 was a valid message port for PDS, valid port numbers
for W
INTERPRET are 2 to 6. When a message uses port 1, it is
converted to the same port number. When editing the
element or compiling the function block an error will occur.
Quotation mark characters (")
Any message containing a " character (quotation mark) will be
converted from text to the ASCII code equivalent of 34.
Continuous Control Function Blocks
Continuous Control (PID) function blocks are not yet
supported by W
INTERPRET so are not converted at this time.
When Continuous Control function blocks become available
in W
INTERPRET , the PDS2WIN conversion program will be
updated to convert them.
Floating Point Function Blocks
All Floating Point Math function block information is
converted.
Peer-to-Peer Function Blocks
In W INTERPRET , the Guarded Peer-Link communication
functions replace the operations performed by peer-to-peer
function blocks configured using the PDS. The methods of
configuration for Guarded Peer-Link differ significantly from
those used by the previous peer-to-peer function blocks.
Therefore peer-to-peer function blocks are not converted.
