Summary
Combine STRINGS in CCW

Question
How can I combine multiple STRING variables in CCW?

Answer
In CCW, there already exist a function block which allows users to combine variables of STRING data type. This
function block is called INSERT, and allows users to combine 2 strings. If user needs to combine more than 2
strings, then a user defined function block (UDFB) can be created in order combine multiple strings.

Attached is a sample code of a UDFB that combines multiple strings. Import it to a program (technote 466043
has a section on importing files) then insert a new function block and look for "Multiple_strings" on the
Instruction Block Selector.

***keep in mind this is only a sample code, it should only be used as a way to better understand the
program/controller, not as an actual application code***
