Operands
In general, all operands provide information which may be useful in debugging an application program. Below is a
list of operands which are particularly valuable for program debugging. To display the value of an operand, the
message command may be used. For example, since the operand, _ED contains the last line of program execution,
the command MG _ED will display this line number.

_ED contains the last line of program execution. Useful to determine where program stopped.
_DL contains the number of available labels.
_UL contains the number of available variables.
_DA contains the number of available arrays.
_DM contains the number of available array elements.
_AB contains the state of the Abort Input
_LFx contains the state of the forward limit switch for the ‘x’ axis
_LRx contains the state of the reverse limit switch for the ‘x’ axis
Debugging Example
:
The following program has an error. It attempts to specify a relative movement while the X-axis is already in
motion. When the program is executed, the controller stops at line 003. The user can then query the controller
using the command, TC1. The controller responds with the corresponding explanation:

Program Flow Commands
The DMC-1700/1800 provides instructions to control program flow. The controller program sequencer normally
executes program instructions sequentially. The program flow can be altered with the use of event triggers,
trippoints, and conditional jump statements.
