RpcStructInstance.InvokeRpcMethod Method (String, .Object., .Object..)
Invokes the specified RPC Method
Namespace: TwinCAT.Ads.TypeSystem
Assembly: TwinCAT.Ads (in TwinCAT.Ads.dll)
Version: 6.0.95+cf8c3f5
Syntax
C#
public Object InvokeRpcMethod(
string methodName,
Object[]? inParameters,
out Object[]? outParameters
)
Parameters
methodName |
Type: System.String |
inParameters |
Type: .System.Object. |
outParameters |
Type: .System.Object.. |
Return Value
Type: Object
The return value of the Method (as object).
Remarks
Because this overload doesn't provide any AnyTypeSpecifier specifications, only primitive datatypes will be correctly marshalled by this method. Complex types will fall back to byte[] arrays.
Examples
The following sample shows how to call (Remote Procedures / Methods) within the PLC.
Dynamic Tree Mode
class RpcCallVirtualProgram
{
/// <summary>
/// Defines the entry point of the application.
/// </summary>
/// <param name="args">The arguments.</param>
static void Main(string[] args)
{
// Get the AdsAddress from command-line arguments
AmsAddress address = ArgParser.Parse(args);
using (AdsClient client = new AdsClient())
{
//client.Synchronize = false;
// Connect to the target device
client.Connect(address);
SymbolLoaderSettings settings = new SymbolLoaderSettings(SymbolsLoadMode.VirtualTree);
ISymbolLoader loader = SymbolLoaderFactory.Create(client, settings);
// Get the Symbols (Dynamic Symbols)
IRpcStructInstance main = (IRpcStructInstance)loader.Symbols["MAIN"]; // Gets the MAIN Instance of the PLC Program
// Call a Method that has the following signature (within MAIN Program)
/* {attribute 'TcRpcEnable'}
METHOD PUBLIC M_Add : INT
VAR_INPUT
i1 : INT := 0;
i2 : INT := 0;
END_VAR
*/
short result = (short)main.InvokeRpcMethod("M_Add", new object[] {(short) 3, (short) 4});
// Call a Method that has no parameter and returns VOID
main.InvokeRpcMethod("M_Method1", new object[] {});
