Number of variables throug CAN

Hello,

currently I have a microScript to controll one single Motor, and sending through CAN some variables resulting from the Operation of this motor (Position, Current, Voltage, number of cycles, number of error Signal 1, number of error Signal 2, mode), but know I would like to add a second Motor and send also all its resulting signals as for the first one, that would mean 14 variables in total through TPDO. As per specification, the Limit are 8 variables. Is there any way to make possible sending more than 8 variables?

Regards.

Thank you blake. I could send two different values through one single variable as per your recommendation. Now I would like to know if there is a "more elegant" or cleaner way to do this, because what I have is something like:

Value1 = x
Value1 = Value1 << 16
Value2 = y
Value12 = Value1 OR Value2
setcommand(_VAR, 1, Value12)

And my second doubt is about the sign for each value. Since I have two different values contained in one single variable, what happend if I try to combine positive and negative values?

The code snippet you posted looks pretty correct. I would recommend sticking with that approach. You can use the <<= operator to clean it up a tad, but that is a minor adjustment.

In terms of sign value, I recommend checking out Wikipedia's page on byte representations of signed numbers. Integers in MicroBasic are signed four byte variables.
