A macroloop is the same as a macro, the language is the same, but a macroloop as it's name says runs infinately so you can do/update things periodically.

Hello admin. What's the limitation that stops running a macro when the cycle is active?

I have this simple macro attached to a hotkey and it works, but not when a cycle is running.

M20000.txt
Code: Select all
AS3.Setfield(0, 232);
AS3.Validatefield(232);

Macros don't run when there is cycle or MDI cycle. Macroloops do.

So my only solution now is to use the serial port in a macroloop AFAIK.

I'll try next week then, thanks ;)

You could write a plugin to handle the keypresses and it works also while cycle is running. Then you don't need to program serial communication.

I gave modbus another chance and now it's working. Last time I had problems with it but for now it works.

Let me cross my fingers...

This is the control box btw. It has Cycle Start (green), Feed override (potentiometer, 0-100%) and Reset.

Cool. What's in the box? Arduino...?
