6-2 Command Language
Name
The ‘Name’ field refers to a ‘C’ style variable for function names
associated with the transaction. Use of these names is not
necessary to interface with the transaction. These names may
be used in present and future software drivers and libraries
provided by Baldor. When used in conjunction with Baldor
software tools, the transaction name is case sensitive.
Type
There are three basic transaction types: Set, Get, and those
which do both: Set/Get.
S ‘Set’ transactions are used to change internal values, or
execute one–time (nonmodal) commands. As a general rule
most ‘set’ transactions pass data to the control, but do not
return any. Most execution ‘set’ commands do not pass or
return data.
S ‘Get’ transactions are used to retrieve internal values or
control conditions. Most ‘get’ transactions return data but do
not pass data.
S ‘Set/Get’ transactions do both functions. Usually these
transaction always return data, but only accept or pass data
when a ‘set’ or change function is occurring. When no data is
passed, the ‘Set/Get’ functions as a ‘Get’ or read–only
transaction.
When a transaction does not fit these general rules, both passed
and returned data fields will be clearly specified.
