Trying to replicate 3-way LogixNG code #logixng

 

¿ªÔÆÌåÓý

Dave Sand,

I saw a copy of your 3way LogixNG.xml code (May 6th) which looked interesting (anyway, I assume it¡¯s yours). It operates much smoother than the Sensor/Route/Turnout conglomeration I developed to do the same thing. Up until now, I have been avoiding any Logix or LogixNG coding, at my age, I really didn¡¯t want to learn another programming language.?

Since the code operated the 3-way turnouts just the way I liked. My plan was to add it to my layout.xml with a modification adding of two extra tracks/turnouts. I tried merging the two xml files (but it created two separate panels), not ideal. I also tried the proper way, creating the code from scratch, but (for me) LogixNG is a steep learning curve. I don¡¯t understand the methodology of how to program by completing the dialog boxes. I got as far as the lines completing the (if-) then-else statements which I couldn¡¯t get it to look like your code, I became so frustrated, the project got put on the back burner.?

Is there an editor to directly type-in the code, leaving the debugger to point out syntax errors? I would like an easier way to replicate your code. Thank you in advance for your expertise.?

John,

If you have any LogixNG already created, loading an additional file with LogixNG does not work.

I have created an export file which only has the LogixNG with modified system names to prevent conflicts. ?There are no other table entries or panels. ?Load this after loading your regular file.

Thanks Dave,

I still may not be sure what I am doing with LogixNG, though now being up to my ankles, can edit the existing code to fit my purposes. I¡¯ll assume since you didn¡¯t address the existence of a text editor for LogixNG, there isn't any. None the less, you've gotten my interest peaked to continue with more NG code.?

John,

There is no "text editor". ?You can get a text view of a LogixNG using the Browse option in the Select menu. ?However, that does not show all of the details.

Prior to LogixNG, I would use scripts to handle special cases. ?Many of those have been converted to LogixNG.
