If you want to accomplish this task JUST from a Foxview display screen then
create a button and select it in FoxDraw.
Click on Configure Objects, then click on the Operator Action tab.
Click the Add button and pick Display Command.
A box will appear that will allow you to enter a command string in the left
pane, and a command browser on the right pane that shows the command browser to
show you what commands are available and their syntax..
On the left side enter your desired command string such as:
Setb Compound:Block1.MA 0
Setb Compound:Block2.MA 0
Setb Compound:Block3.MA 0
Setb Compound:Block4MA 0
Setb Compound:Block5.MA 0
Setb Compound:Block6.MA 0
Setb Compound:Block7.MA 0
Setb Compound:Block8.MA 0
Sleep 1
Setb Compound:Block1.MA 1
Setb Compound:Block2.MA 1
Setb Compound:Block3.MA 1
Setb Compound:Block4.MA 1
Setb Compound:Block5.MA 1
Setb Compound:Block6.MA 1
Setb Compound:Block7.MA 1
Setb Compound:Block8.MA 1
I don't know if there is a limit to how many lines you can use, but I have
one button on a display that puts 18 blocks into Auto, so the 17 lines for your
eight drives & sleep command should work OK.
.MA 0 = Manual, .MA 1 = Auto
You are showing in your code snippet that you want to put the eight drives
into Auto first, sleep for one second, and then put them into Manual - is this
really what you need to do?
I usually have two buttons on a FoxView display - one puts one or more things
into Auto, the other puts them into Manual.
I have other buttons that will put two out of three things into Manual and
the third into Auto. The possibilities are endless . . .

Subject: [foxboro] Issue multiple commands at one click & dmcmd limitation
Hi List,
I want to give pulse command to 8 drives at one go. Basically want to put all 8
drives in manual in a click of a button instead operator clicking each 8 drives
manual button.
I tried dmcmd script where i wrote the following
---------------------------------
dmcmd setb x1 1
.
dmcmd setb x8 1
sleep 1
dmcmd setb x1 0
.
dmcmd setb x8 0
-----------------------------------
But the above script is giving error that i have exceeded the number of lines.
With 7 drives, the above script is working fine.
Don't really want to mess up with the logic in IACC to do this. Want to do
through foxview only.
Any way out there ?
Regards,
Rakesh
