The “Select Job Sequence” input will select the job sequence number according to the input
value. Uses the width parameter limit the width of the input bits read. The minimum width is 1
and the maximum is 8. After the input is read the offset parameter will be added to the value
do get the actual job sequence number. Selecting an invalid job sequence number or a
sequence that is already complete will disable the tool.

The “Set ID” assignment will set the ID to an integer value of the input value. The width can be
set from 1 to 32 bits. The input value will read as an integer value and an ASCII string with
leading zeroes will be produced and passed to the ID recognition system. The length of the
string is based on the width of the assignment. The string will always be sized to accommodate
the maximum value of the input. For example a width setting of 16 can have an integer value of
0-65535 so the produced ID would be
“00000” to “65535” (always five character long).

The “Set ID (word swap)” assignment is the same as the “Set ID” assignment except the high and
low words (16bit) are swapped prior to evaluation. This is to correct the mixed endianness of
some PLC. See the “Set ID” for behavior.

The “Set Date/Time” assignment will set the date and time of the controller. The width can be
set from 1 to 32 bits but should always be set to 32 to get the correct results. The input value will
be read as the number of seconds since 00:00:00 January 1, 1970 (POSIX time or Epoch time). If
