Type
Mathematical operation
Syntax
expression1 AND expression2
Description
The
AND
operator performs the logical
AND
function on the corresponding
bits of the integer parts of two valid BASIC expressions.
The logical
AND
function between two bits is defined as follows:
0 AND 0 = 0
0 AND 1 = 0
1 AND 0 = 0
1 AND 1 = 1
Arguments
•
expression1
Any valid BASIC expression.
•
expression2
Any valid BASIC expression.
Example
VR(0) = 10 AND (2.1*9)
The parentheses are evaluated first, but only the integer part of the result, 18,
is used for the
AND
operation. Therefore, this expression is equivalent to the
following:
VR(0) = 10 AND 18
The
AND
is a bit operator and so the binary action is as follows:
01010 AND 10010 = 00010
Therefore,
VR(0)
will contain the value 2.
Example
IF MPOS AXIS(0) > 0 AND MPOS AXIS(1) > 0 THEN GOTO cycle1
If measured positions
MPOS
of both axis 1 and axis 2 are greater than zero,
program execution continues at label
cycle1
. Otherwise, program execution
continues with the next statement.

Type
I/O command
Syntax
AOUT(analogue_chan)
Description
The AOUT command sets the output value of the analogue output channels
that are provided by connecting GRT1-ML2 Slice Coupler or JEPMC-AN2910
modules on the MECHATROLINK-II bus. The range of the value set is [-
32000, 32000] for full output range. The output range depends on the ana-
logue unit used and can be one of the following: [-10V, 10V], [0V, 10V] or [0V,
5V] for voltage and [0mA, 20mA] or [4mA, 20mA] for current output.
Arguments
•

Analogue output channel number 0.31

Type
Mathematical function
Syntax
ASIN(expression)
Description
The
ASIN
function returns the arc-sine of the argument. The argument must
have a value between -1 and 1. The result in radians is between -PI/2 and PI/
2. Input values outside this range return 0.
Arguments
•
expression
Any valid BASIC expression.
Example
>> PRINT ASIN(-1)
-1.5708
