ADS sum command: fetch and release multiple handles
This sample shows how to fetch and release many handles using the ADS sum command. Set up as AdsSyncReadWriteRequest, it serves as a container in which the subcommands are transported.
System requirements:
- TwinCAT v2.11 Build >= 1550
Unpack the sample program 'ADS sum command: fetch and release multiple handles': sample12.zip
- To execute the *.jar sample, the command 'java -classpath "Sample12.jar;[path to TcJavaToAds.jar] Main' must be executed in the console in the correct directory (example path: "C:TwinCAT\Ads Api\AdsToJava\*"). For this, java must be entered in the environment variables.

The names of the variables whose handles we want to get are appended to the end of the byte array.

For communication, a port is opened and the local address is passed. If a transmission takes place, the port is assigned to the address by runtime system 1 beforehand.
The parameters for the sum command consist of IndexGroup (0xf082) - call of the sum command, IndexOffset (0x2) - number of subcommands, ReadLength (0x18) - size specification of the data to be read, ReadData (pBuffRes) - memory that accepts read data, WriteLength (cbReq) - size specification of the data to be sent and WriteLength (pBuffReq) - memory that contains data to be sent.
// Open communication
AdsCallDllFunction.adsPortOpen();
err = AdsCallDllFunction.getLocalAddress(addr);
addr.setPort(AdsCallDllFunction.AMSPORT_R0_PLC_RTS1);
if (err != 0) {
System.out.println("Error: Open communication: 0x"
+ Long.toHexString(err));
} else {
System.out.println("Success: Open communication!");
}
err = AdsCallDllFunction.adsSyncReadWriteReq(
addr,
0xf082, // ADS list-read-write command
0x2, // number of ADS-sub commands
jniResBuff.getUsedBytesCount(), // we expect an ADS error
// return-code for each ADS-sub command
jniResBuff, // provide space for the response
// containing the return codes
jniReqBuff.getUsedBytesCount(), // send 48 bytes(IG1,
// IO1, RLen1, WLen1, IG2, IO2, RLen2,
// WLen2, Data1, Data2)
jniReqBuff);
// Check return codes
ByteBuffer resBuff = ByteBuffer.wrap(jniResBuff.getByteArray());
resBuff.order(ByteOrder.LITTLE_ENDIAN);
if (err != 0) {
System.out.println("Error: Get handles: 0x"
+ Long.toHexString(err));
} else {
// Extract error codes from response (see picture 2)
// Pattern is: err1, len1, .., errN, lenN, data1, .., dataN
int req1Err = resBuff.getInt((Integer.SIZE / Byte.SIZE) * 0);
int req2Err = resBuff.getInt((Integer.SIZE / Byte.SIZE) * 2);
if (req1Err != 0) {
System.out.println("Error: Get handle1: 0x"
+ Integer.toHexString(req1Err));
} else if (req2Err != 0) {
System.out.println("Error: Get handle2: 0x"
+ Integer.toHexString(req2Err));
} else {
System.out.println("Success: Get handles!");
}
}
After sending the request, we expect an ADS error code and length for each handle we try to fetch. In this case the length will always be 4 bytes.

Release handles
// Extract handles from response(see picture 2)
int hnd1 = resBuff.getInt((Integer.SIZE / Byte.SIZE) * 4);
int hnd2 = resBuff.getInt((Integer.SIZE / Byte.SIZE) * 5);
//// Release handles
// Construct buffers
int relBuffSize =
(ReleaseData.SIZE * 2 / Byte.SIZE) + (Integer.SIZE * 2 / Byte.SIZE);
int relResBuffSize = Integer.SIZE * 2 / Byte.SIZE;
ByteBuffer relBuff = ByteBuffer.allocate(relBuffSize);
relBuff.order(ByteOrder.LITTLE_ENDIAN);
JNIByteBuffer jniRelBuff = new JNIByteBuffer(relBuffSize);
JNIByteBuffer jniRelResBuff = new JNIByteBuffer(relResBuffSize);
// Construct data objects
ReleaseData rel1 = new ReleaseData();
rel1.setIndexGroup(AdsCallDllFunction.ADSIGRP_SYM_RELEASEHND);
rel1.setIndexOffset(0);
rel1.setLength(Integer.SIZE / Byte.SIZE);
ReleaseData rel2 = new ReleaseData();
rel2.setIndexGroup(AdsCallDllFunction.ADSIGRP_SYM_RELEASEHND);
rel2.setIndexOffset(0);
rel2.setLength(Integer.SIZE / Byte.SIZE);
// Concatenate byte[] representations of ReleaseData objects and
// handles (see picture 3)
relBuff.put(rel1.toByteArray());
relBuff.put(rel2.toByteArray());
relBuff.putInt(hnd1);
relBuff.putInt(hnd2);
// Need to let a JNIByteBuffer wrap the byte[] to be able to send it
jniRelBuff.setByteArray(relBuff.array(), true);
The handles associated with the commands are appended to the end of the byte array.

The existing connection is used to release the handles.
The parameters for the sum command consist of IndexGroup (0xf081) - call of the sum command, IndexOffset (0x2) - number of subcommands, ReadLength (cbRelRes) - size specification of the data to be read, ReadData (pBuffRelRes) - memory that accepts read data, WriteLength (cbRel) - size specification of the data to be sent and WriteLength (pBuffRel) - memory that contains data to be sent.
Finally, the handles must be released and the port closed.
// Release handles - Second task cleared
err = AdsCallDllFunction.adsSyncReadWriteReq(
addr,
0xf081, // ADS list-write command
0x2, // number of ADS-sub commands
relResBuffSize, // we expect an ADS-error-return-code for
// each ADS-sub command
jniRelResBuff, // provide space for the response containing
// the return codes
relBuffSize, // send 32 bytes (IG1, IO1, Len1, IG2, IO2,
// Len2, Data1, Data2)
jniRelBuff); // buffer with data
// Check return codes
if (err != 0) {
System.out.println("Error: Release handles: 0x"
+ Long.toHexString(err));
} else {
ByteBuffer relResBuff =
ByteBuffer.wrap(jniRelResBuff.getByteArray());
relResBuff.order(ByteOrder.LITTLE_ENDIAN);
// Extract error codes from response (see picture 4)
// Pattern is: err1, .., errN
int rel1Err = relResBuff.getInt((Integer.SIZE / Byte.SIZE) * 0);
int rel2Err = relResBuff.getInt((Integer.SIZE / Byte.SIZE) * 1);
if (rel1Err != 0) {
System.out.println("Error: Release handle1: 0x"
+ Integer.toHexString(rel1Err));
} else if (rel2Err != 0) {
System.out.println("Error: Release handle2: 0x"
+ Integer.toHexString(rel2Err));
} else {
System.out.println("Success: Release handles!");
}
}
System.out.println("\nPress enter to continue..");
System.in.read();
} catch (Exception ex) {
ex.printStackTrace();
} finally {
// Close communication
err = AdsCallDllFunction.adsPortClose();
if (err != 0) {
System.out.println("Error: Close communication: 0x"
+ Long.toHexString(err));
} else {
System.out.println("Success: Close communication!");
}
}
}
}
In response we get an ADS error code for each handle we try to release.
