The EcoStruxure Machine Expert script language provides a powerful tool to automize sequences. You can start single commands or complex command sequences directly from the EcoStruxure Machine Expert program environment. For more information on the script, refer to the EcoStruxure Machine Expert Programming Guide.
Before Creating Scripts Using an SD card
The Modicon M262 Logic/Motion Controller accepts only SD cards formatted in FAT or FAT32.
The SD card must have a label. To add a label:
1.Insert the SD card in your PC.
2.Right-click on the drive in Windows Explorer.
3.Choose Properties.

UNINTENDED EQUIPMENT OPERATION |
|
oYou must have operational knowledge of your machine or process before connecting this device to your controller. oEnsure that guards are in place so that any potential unintended equipment operation will not cause injury to personnel or damage to equipment. |
|
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or equipment damage. |
When an SD card is inserted into the SD card slot of the controller, the firmware searches and executes the script contained in the SD card (/sys/cmd/Script.cmd).
If you remove power to the device, or there is a power outage or communication interruption during the transfer of the application, your device may become inoperative. If a communication interruption or a power outage occurs, reattempt the transfer. If there is a power outage or communication interruption during a firmware update, or if an invalid firmware is used, your device will become inoperative. In this case, use a valid firmware and reattempt the firmware update.
|
NOTICE |
|
INOPERABLE EQUIPMENT |
|
oDo not interrupt the transfer of the application program or a firmware change once the transfer has begun. oRe-initiate the transfer if the transfer is interrupted for any reason. oDo not attempt to place the device into service until the file transfer has completed successfully. |
|
Failure to follow these instructions can result in equipment damage. |
The following lists the script syntax guidelines:
oIf the line begins with a ";", the line is a comment.
oThe maximum number of lines in a script file is 50.
oIf the syntax is not respected in the script file, the script file is not executed. This means, for example, that the firewall configuration remains in the previous state.
