Hi,
I have enabled the 'WAITING' statement per below
I have been unable to use the statement due to syntax errors, see a test sample below.
Spoiler
WAITING xCanContinue DO
xCanContinue := TRUE;
END_WAITING;
WAITING xCanContinue DO
xCanContinue := TRUE;
END_WAITING;
I have also noticed that since I have enabled the 'WAITING' statement in the project options, I can no longer disable the WAITING statement as the check box is greyed out.
In other projects, I cannot enable the WAITING statement as the checkbox is greyed out too.
Interestingly, the editor dislikes bracketing inside the WAITING condition;
Spoiler
WAITING (xCanContinue) DO
xCanContinue := TRUE;
END_WAITING;
xCanContinue := TRUE;
END_WAITING;
This is on EcoStruxure Machine Expert - HVAC v1.5.0 on Windows 10, Version 10.0.19045 Build 19045 for a target of TM172PDG18R bios 668.13.
What is going on? And how can I get WAITING working?
Cheers,
Jack
