A sample from help on SCL (timer). I can't get practical meaning of that.

hello everyone!

 Recently I've tried to execute  this code. I've found at least one fail in that. When I got that compiled and executed, I had questioned if this code/sample has a practical meaning.

A question: Did anyone try to replicate this sample? What result have you got?

FUNCTION_BLOCK TIME
VAR_INPUT
MY_TIMER: ARRAY [1..4] of STRUCT
T_NO: INT;
TV : WORD;
END_STRUCT;
.
.
END_VAR
.
.
FOR I:= 1 TO 4 DO
CurrTime:= S_ODT(T_NO:=MY_TIMER[I].T_NO, S:=true, TV:= MY_TIMER[I].TV);
END_FOR;

Hello,

and what is main idea, especially using timers with that loop?

Hello,

and what is main idea, especially using timers with that loop?

 Are you asking me!?  As I wrote above that sample from 'SCL ONLINE HELP', a subject  called 'Calling Timer Functions', in particular, a sample of dynamic calling.

I just need to get, what practice sense has that sample in itself.

I've just tried to replicate that. And what I've got that the loop executed by itself separately from the timer, the timer executed by itself separately from the loop (watching on the variables in DB).

I was not able to catch the point of the sample!

So, I'm asking if someone has got the point of the sample.

Hello,

now it is more clear because didn't know that this is piece of example. Again, this is only little explanation of using different call of instancies of timer, absolutelly or dynamically. Other next code implementation is needed if you want make tests for yourself.

Nothing new you told me. I knew that by myself!

It seems you haven't got that code as well.I know this is pretty difficult stuff -SCL.

I need real SCL skilled person explanation!

HAHAHAHA, thnx for compliment again...

no problem, SCL is my primary language for 18 years. Start make all required and check VAT table or direct code Online. I recommend to be more diligent, not lazy...

Look, no offence...

Just opened my heart chakras, tried to remember German and asked the same at German forum:

SCL-code (timer sample), verstehe nicht dieser Code.

and I've got information that I was expecting.

Hello,

no problem, glad you have sufficient answer. I preffer in some hard times make own tests, change logic little bit to understand better if some problem exists. Good luck...
