The Calculated Word Data Tag
maps a 16-bit unsigned integer to the result of a calculation.
The calculation can run:
The Calculated Word Data Tag supports the configuration properties of the Word Data Tag plus these properties:
| Property | Type | Version | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| UpdateInterval | TIME | 1.2 | The interval between each calculation. A value of zero (T#0s) disables periodic calculation. See Interval and Offset for information on how timed activities are scheduled. |
| UpdateOffset | TIME | 1.2 | The offset added to the UpdateInterval to get the actual update time. See Interval and Offset for information on how timed activities are scheduled. |
| InstructionLimit | UDINT | 1.2 | The maximum number of instructions to execute. |
The Calculated Word Data Tag evaluates a calculation at the periodic interval defined by the UpdateInterval and UpdateOffset properties. The result of the calculation is written to the tag. Setting UpdateInterval to T#0s disables periodic calculation.
The value of the Calculated Word tag is defined using an IEC 61131-3 Expression.
To edit the calculation, right-click the tag in the Tag Window, and then click Edit Calculation. The calculation is edited using a Program Code Editor.
The Calculated Word Data Tag supports the dynamic properties of the Word Data Tag plus these properties:
| Property | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| ExecErrorCode | DINT | The result of the execution. A zero value shows success. A non-zero value shows an error occurred. |
| ExecErrorLocation | DWORD | The address of the instruction that caused the error. Zero if there was no error. |
| ExecInstructionCount | UDINT | The number of instructions processed by the program during the latest execution. |
| ErrorMessage | WSTRING | The execution error message. An empty string shows no error. |
| UpdateTimer | TimerStatus | The status of the calculation update timer. |
The Calculated Word Data Tag supports tag commands of the Word Data Tag plus these tag commands:
| Tag Command | Version | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Run | 1.0 | Evaluates the expression and writes the resulting value to the tag. |
The Calculated Word Data Tag builds on the features of these tag types:
To learn how activities are scheduled using Interval and Offset.
To learn about the expressions that can used in the Calculation property.
To learn about properties common to all Word Tags.
To learn about the Core Driver.
