Add-On Instructions

  • To display the logic of an Add-On Instruction, select the instruction and use the context menu (right click) to open the logic.
  • You can drag an Add-On Instruction from the Controller Organizer into any language editor.
  • Copy an Add-On Instruction Definition from one project and paste into another to move that AOI and referenced AOIs in to the project.
  • Use Add-On Instructions to initialize tag values to specific values at the beginning of each routine or program scan. Then source protect the AOI to assure that values are correctly initialized and not overwritten manually.
  • Use source protection on an Add-On Instruction to protect local tags, data and logic.
