Hey Guys,
Having to do a job for a customer using a GE SCE330 Processor. Using the new GE Proficy 9.50 IDE and I'm having some difficulty with a task I have to do.
I need to be able to create a string constant of say 16 characters and concatenate it with a string which I will be receiving from our customers Conveyor Line PLC over ProfiNET.
First off I don't see any LD or STL string manipulation instructions anywhere. I see how I can make a string, but how do I access the data side of that string and also how do I concatenate it with another string which I don't see any tools for that. When I'm done concatenating it, i need to move the entire string into an interger array so I can transmit it to a Laser Marker to update the data which gets marked on a part.
So a few questions in there..
1.) Does the GE PLC have string manipulation instructions and I'm missing something
2.) How do you concatenate 2 strings together and where do you store them when they are.
3.) What instruction should I use to move the string into an Integer array?
Thanks guys...... HATE GE so far.
