NB HMI Macro

[SillyBoy]

Hello there.

How to transfer data from one memory area to another using macro ?

 

Data Type - Double

Word Length - 4

Format - BIN

Integer - 3, Decimal - 1

 

From Area - D

To Area - LW

Why use a macro?

If you use a data transfer property you can grab a double from the PLC and move it to the LW memory:

Because I want to transfer almost 150 different addresses.

So I guess it will be easy to use macro.

I see. Its been a while since I made an NB macro - I'll look through an old program later today

Thank you very much.

So The trick here is to transfer the data as Unsigned Integers (or any 16-bit variable) and transfer twice as much as you need. You can't create Double Arrays in the macro environment so this is the only workaround I found. The data is still in tact as you can see in the HMI - it is being displayed as a double.
