7.8.12.4.1. IF condition: Simple example

When using value range variables you can also use an Attribute algorithm in addition. A frequent application is the use of an IF condition, to make the value range conditional upon the value of a certain variable.

In the following example the value range of L shall be displayed depending on the value of FORM (or FORM1). For "Rounded edges" [1:6000], for "Sharp edges" [1:2000].

PARTdataManager

PARTdataManager

For this an attribute algorithm has been used for the variable L1 (not displayed in PARTdataManager):[97] 

IF( FORM1 .EQ. 1) THEN 
L1 ='100,[1:6000]'
ELSE L1 ='100,[1:2000]'
ENDIF

If the variable FORM1 has the value 1, then the value range of L1 is from 1 to 6000 with a default value of 100, otherwise the value range is from 1 to 2000.

The figure shows the selected variable "L1" with Status "Attribute algorithm" in the Variable Manager.The figure shows DIN 1771

The figure shows the selected variable "L1" with Status "Attribute algorithm" in the Variable Manager.[98]

The variable FORM1 is a Variable with fixed values. In this example here, it has the value 1 or 2. On this variable, the condition is focused.

The variable L is defined as Value range variable. It references the variable L1, which contains the attribute algorithm (see above).
