First cycle flag in Rapid

dragolollo

Hello,

Is there a flag in RAPID that states if it is the first cycle after controller power on?
Thank you!

Did you ever find anything to do with first cycle? I have a few things I need to do in first cycle only too.

Try an event routine for Power On to run a one instruction routine that sets a PERS boolean, e.g. bFirstCycleOnly, variable TRUE.

PROC rPowerON
!
bFirstCycleOnly: =TRUE;
!
ENDPROC

Be sure to change state of the PERS to FALSE in your production code.

As an idea in production code 

PROC rFirstCycle()
!
IF bFirstCycleOnly THEN
Stuff
bFirstCycleOnly: =FALSE ;
ELSE
Return;
ENDIF
!
ENDPROC
