AC500-Specific PLC Browser Commands¶
The PLC browser interface of the Control Builder provides CoDeSys standard commands as well as AC500-specific commands. The general operation of the PLC browser is described in the according user manual.
This section only describes AC500-specific commands and commands that provide special data for the AC500.
For all commands online help information is available. The help information is displayed language-dependent by entering “?command” when operating in online mode. The command “?” lists all available firmware commands.
The commands listed in online mode can differ from the commands shown when pressing the button […] as the Control Builder version and firmware version can differ. The commands listed when clicking the button […] are defined in the file “Browser.ini” that belongs to the selected target system package (TSP).
The PLC browser provides the following AC500-specific commands:
