Hi!

What is the proper and the easiest way to call programs through looping of array of programs, or pointer of program?
instead of calling the programs one by one:
prog1(inputX: 11);
prog2(inputY: 12);
prog3(inputZ: 13);

similar like:
VAR
programsToCall : ARRAY [1..3] OF PROGRAM;
END_VAR
programsToCall[1] := prog1(inputX: 11);
programsToCall[2] := prog2(inputY: 12);
programsToCall[3] := prog3(inputZ: 13);

FOR i := 1 TO 3 DO
programsToCall[i] ();
END_FOR

Thanks.

You cannot create an array of Programs. Create a Function Block for this purpose instead of a program.
You can create an array of FB instances and call each instance in a loop.
