APPENDIX B – CX-Server Communications Control

Revision 2.0
In this example, ‘NewValue’ will be written to the point ‘MyPoint’ in the PLC called ‘MyPLC’. The
script will wait for the write operation to complete before continuing to execute the next line due to
the ‘0’ parameter. This is identical to the operation of the ‘Value’ method.
Note:
If the PLC is not open, then this command will cause it to be opened, and then closed after the
write is complete. If more than one read or write operation is to be performed, it is considerably
faster and more efficient to use the OpenPLC command first, do all the reading and writing, and then
(if required) use the ClosePLC command to close the PLC.
ReadArea
Reads a specified block of memory from a PLC.
Examples of synchronous read:
MyVariant = CXServer.ReadArea(“MyPLC/DM0”, 12, vbString)
MyVariant = CXServer.ReadArea(“BoilerTemp”, 10, vbInteger)
MyVariant = CXServer.ReadArea(“BoilerTemp”, 20)
In the first example, DM0 to DM11 will be read as characters (part of a string) from ‘MyPLC’ and
will be stored in ‘MyVariant’. The second example demonstrates that it is also possible to use a
logical name for the start address, and that any VB variant types (such as vbInteger) can be used. The
third example shows that the VB Variant type parameter is optional – if none is specified then
vbInteger is assumed. The script will wait for the read operation to complete before continuing to
execute the next line.
Note:
If accessing from a CX-Supervisor script, the following integral values should be used
for the return type:
Constant Value

vbEmpty 0 Uninitialized

vbNull
1
Contains no valid data
vbInteger 2 Integer
