The ND 2100G permits the use of multiple formulas on a single
dimension formula screen. When multiple formulas are used on a
dimension screen, the semicolon is used to separate the formulas.
When multiple formulas are included on one dimension screen, the
leading formula defines the value of a dimension, while subsequent
formulas perform some kind of operation. The dimension value is
stored in the ND 2100G database. The actions performed by
subsequent formulas can change relay states, set output data, set
variables and so on. Insert semicolons into dimension screens
between formulas as required.
To insert a semicolon:
U Press the +-*/... soft key
U Press the ; dimension key
Semicolon separated formulas. Semicolon syntax
