| Cicode has the following limitations. You
may have a maximum of 2048 cicode functions and each function must
contain less than 64K of compiled cicode. In version 2.10 and later
the maximum number of cicode function has been increased to 2700.
These limits allow for a huge amount of cicode to be developed.
I have seen systems which contained around 87 thousand lines of
cicode. This system is so large it took 45 minutes to compile the
cicode on a 66 Mhz 486 computer. This should give you an indication
of the size of cicode Citect can handle. If you have a large amount
of cicode you must still design you cicode to be efficient as poor
design can cause poor system performance.
You could possibly run into the maximum number of cicode
functions if you have many small functions. You may need many small
functions if you want to generate indirect writes back to the PLCs
by using one function per write. In later versions of Citect for
Windows, indirect writes will be supported directly via a new
cicode function so this will not be required and will greatly
reduce the maximum number of functions needed.
