PLCs and kill, jog, cout with motor number in variable

[klauer]

I'm having some issues with getting PLCs to programmatically kill a motor (that is, with its motor number in a variable -- I've tried L- or P- variables).

It would appear that jogging and open-loop output also do not work this way. Is this a bug or is there something that I'm missing?

 

open plc 8
   local m_exp;
   m_exp = 3;
   P2 = 3;

   // Either of these lines abort the PLC ("Stopped on an illegal script operation code")
   kill P2;
   kill m_exp;

   // These do the same:
   cout P2:100.0;
   cout m_exp:100.0;

   // These do not cause errors, but also do not attempt to jog to the position:
   jog P2=1.0;
   jog m_exp=1.0;

close

try the following:

 

open plc 8
   P10=0
   Ldata.motor=3;     // sets motor 3 as target for this plc
   Kill;         // kills the motor addressed by this PLC
   While(P10<1000)
   {
         P10++;   
   }
   Jog=(P10);    // jogs motor 3 to position P10
close

Thanks -- that appears to work. I missed that in the documentation.
