Workbench DataType Defined Words Vs SCADAPack x70 Logic Create Constants values.

[AlbertoArdila]

Hi.

In Workbench there are a Defined Words in DataType that I used for Create Constants Variables.

Is this option available in SCADAPack x70 Logic (I didn't find that). If not what is the best option to create a constant variable in SCADAPack x70 Logic?

Tank You.

I normally just tick the 'Constant' tick box on the Variable properties

Here's an example showing avocado's constant... you know, for the number of avocados in a guacamole..

This is an older post, but thought i would add in a little something.

The Logic Editor in RemoteConnect does have a set of defined system constants.

The SCADAPack x70 Logic Editor application provides a predefined set of system constants to use in conjunction with the function blocks. These constants are described in the topics for the function blocks to which they apply. Importing the constants file adds the possible constants. You may not use every constant. If you don't want your Data Editor cluttered with unused variables and constants, you can remove them.

To import the constants

1.On the Configuration tab, select SCADAPack x70 Logic and click Open Editor.

2.In the Logic Editor, right-click on Variables & FB instances and select Import.

3.Navigate to C:\Users\Public\Public Documents\Schneider Electric\Control Expert and select the SPx70_SYS_CONSTANTS.XSY file.

4.Click Import.

5.Double-click on Elementary Variables.

The Data Editor opens, showing the project variables, including the imported constants.

To remove unused constants

1.On the Configuration tab, select SCADAPack x70 Logic and click Open Editor.

2.Double-click on Elementary Variables to open the Data Editor.

3.In the Data Editor, click Ctrl + A to select all the variables and constants.

4.Right-click and select Purge Unused Variables.

The Purge Unused Variables option only deletes the unused variables and constants.

5.Click Yes to confirm that you want to remove unused data.
