Hi,
I am using preprocessor directives to create different PLC builds. I want to be able to chain directives together, so I can pick different parts of software I've written to be included. This is what I have tried
Spoiler
VAR_GLOBAL
cnt : INT;
{ IFDEF : BUILD_SIM }
MbRTU_MOCKING : BOOL;
{ ENDIF }
END_VAR
This crashes ESME, producing the following message box when the closing brace '}' is inserted.
Is there a way around this, or a different solution that could support what I am trying to do?
This is on ESME HVAC v1.7.0 using Windows 11.
Thanks.

Hi,
to define global variable under directive you have to create a global variable group
Enter inside group properties
And fill the field EXCLUDE IF NOT DEF with BUILD_SIM
Best regards
