Incorporating shared memory
The shared memory is a comprehensive data structure that is used for
communication between the PLC, CNC and visualisation systems.
Information such as the version number and error memory can also be
accessed via the shared memory.
An introduction on the subject of shared memory is given on page 76. A
detailed description of all variables of the shared memory is provided in the
online help of the "Schleicher Dialog" software, or can be accessed via the
Help menu of MULTIPROG.
To gain full access to the the predefined variables, incorporate the shared
memory structure into the project.
These are not yet included in the project templates of MULTIPROG. They
must be incorporated into the PLC project by the user himself, with the aid of
the shared-memory Schleicher add-ons for MULTIPROG.
Make sure that you work with the appropriate shared-memory variant. If you
are not aware of the correct variant of shared memory, please find this
information on the PC of the controller (see: Figure 27)
D:\schleicher\ram0\OS\LOG\Sysinfo.txt
Open the file Sysinfo.txt, there you will find the shared-memory version next
to Version_SM.
You can access the file from the service PC via UltraVNC or an FTP
connection.
