I just came back from the dentist and I have some questions that some may think are dumb, but trying to understand how A/B explains things is like going from point A to point B via C, D, E, F, H, back to point C then go to point X, etc., before getting to point B. They talk in circles when all I want is a simple explanation and simple samples.
I'm not familiar with much of the simple programming language used but with the great help and patience of others here I feel grateful. I it wasn't for this site I would truly be lost as the person that got me started passed away a few years ago.
I have bought all my A/B items off of eBay replicating what we use at work. From simple ML-1000s, 5/04s, Panelviews and panelview Plus's and Ethernet including RSLinx, RS-500 and FTVS-ME.(yes I paid for all of this out of my own pocket!) I have a small fortune invested in this. I replicated what we use at work because I feel I will learn the most if I can actually see the whole thing work and it has been great. I am also using my system(s) for running my home security, lighting, timers, inside/outside temp and humidity. I am now known as the PLC guy at work, yet I feel I should know some more of the language.
When I say language I mean the following:
What is a Macro?
What is a String?
What are Arrays?
What is Structered
What is a ascii string?
What ist Sructered text?
What are Add on instructions? (AOI)
Where can I find simple explanation's to these questions? I
bought a lot of CDs from eBay, and watched a lot of you tube, and bought all the books offered here but I just cant find the simple explanations for these.
I did take the A/B class for programming the SLC-500 which was
also great. I was going to take the FTVS-ME programming class but with the great help and understanding from this forum and with what I have bought and comparing it to the course description I think that I have the basics down.
Wow! what a posting, The wonders of modern pain medicine.
Thanks for all the great help.
