Introduction BrbLib

Many useful functions/function blocks to solve general requirements at programming a B&R plc. Everything is well documented, but only in german. Excerpt of functionality:

• String and unicode string handling (conversion Hex&Bin, Cut, Insert, Trim, Pad, Split, Swap, ToLower, ToUpper, etc...)
• Time formats (Conversion to/from Text, calulation, determine weekday, etc...)
• Files (loading and saving variables to binary/text file)
• Memory management (Array-Management, Bit functions, etc...)
• Step sequencers (logging, timeout handling, stop watch, etc...)
• USB support (determine usb sticks on plug in and out with automatic linking)
• Random values (generating random values for various datatypes)
• Scaling (handling of analog in/outputs)
• Timer-Switch for 1 channel (switching on many settings like date, weekday etc.)

Introduction BrbLibVc4

Many useful functions/function blocks for a transparent and intuitive coding of a Visual Components 4 logic. Everything is well documented, but only in german. Excerpt of functionality:

• Read out touch state
• Mighty page navigation handling (back to previous page, init and exit functionality, parameterizable screen saver, etc...)
• Support of all native controls with structures and functions (Button, Bargraph, Drawbox, Dropdown, etc...)
• Implementation of none native controls (Check box, option box, incremental button, jog button, scroll bars, tab control, touchgrid, etc...)
• Support of owner drawing (dashed forms, clipping, coordinate correction, etc...)
• Trend control with a lots of features (1µs resolution, touch usability for scrolling/zooming/cursors, various source settings, easy visual extension with callbacks, etc...)
• X/Y-Plot control with a lots of features (touch usability for scrolling/zooming/cursor, various source settings, easy visual extension with callbacks, etc...)
• Treeview control with a lots of features (touch usability for expanding/scrolling, icon support, easy visual extension with callbacks, etc...)

Introduction BrbLibVc2d

Functions for drawing a dynamical 2d model under VC4. Everything is well documented, but only in german. Excerpt of functionality:

• Building a model with primitive elements (point, line, triangle, tetragon, circle and ellipse)
• Animating of elements or models with transformation (scaling, translation and rotating)
• Transformation with 2 alternative concepts (sequential and matrix)
• Easy visual extension with callbacks
