SetGO Changes the value of a group
of digital output signals
Example
Arguments
SetGO is used to change the value of a group of digital output signals.
SetGO go2, 12;
The signal go2 is set to 12. If go2 comprises 4 signals, e.g. outputs 6-9, outputs
6 and 7 are set to zero, while outputs 8 and 9 are set to one.
SetGO Signal Value
Signal Data type: signalgo
The name of the signal group to be changed.
Value Data type: num
Program execution
The desired value of the signal group (a positive integer).
The permitted value is dependent on the number of signals in the group:
No. of signals Permitted value No. of signals Permitted value
1 0 - 1 9 0 - 511
2 0 - 3 10 0 - 1023
3 0 - 7 11 0 - 2047
4 0 - 15 12 0 - 4095
5 0 - 31 13 0 - 8191
6 0 - 63 14 0 - 16383
7 0 - 127 15 0 - 32767
8 0 - 255 16 0 - 65535
The programmed value is converted to an unsigned binary number. This binary
number is sent on the signal group, with the result that individual signals in the group
are set to 0 or 1. Due to internal delays, the value of the signal may be undefined for a
short period of time.
