3.6 3.6 SEFORM structuring statement in the Step editor
Function
The SEFORM statement is evaluated in the Step editor to generate the step view for HMI
Advanced. The step view available in the HMI Advanced improves the readability of the NC
subroutine. The SEFORM structuring statement supports the Step editor (editor-based
program support) over the three specified parameters.
Programming
SEFORM(STRING[128] section_name, INT level, STRING[128] icon)
Parameters
SEFORM Function call of structuring
statement with parameters:
section_name, level, and icon
section_name Identifier of the operation
level Index for the main or sublevel.
=0 corresponds to the main level
=1, ... corresponds to sublevel 1 to
n
icon Name of the icon displayed for this
section.
Note
The SEFORM statements are generated in the Step editor.
The string transferred with the <section name> parameter is stored main-run-synchronously
in the OPI variable in a similar way to the MSG statement. The information remains until
overwritten by the next SEFORM statement. Reset and end of parts program clear the
content.
The level and icon parameters are checked by the parts program processing of the NCK but
not further processed.
