Input

Data type

Description

bExecute

BOOL

The command is triggered by a rising edge at this input.

nDNo

UDINT

D-word for which the tool parameters are to be read. nDNo can take values from 1 up to and including 255 (up to library version 5.4.15 only 50 tool parameters are supported).

tTimeOut

TIME

ADS Timeout-Delay

Input & output

Data type

Description

sNciToPlc

NciChannelToPlc

The structure of the cyclic channel interface from the NCI to the PLC. This structure is only accessed for reading.

sToolDesc

ToolDesc

A structure into which the tool parameters of nDNo are written. The meaning of the parameters depends on the tool type, and can be found in the tool data.

Output

Data type

Description

bBusy

BOOL

This output remains TRUE until the function block has executed a command, but at the longest for the duration supplied to the 'Timeout' input. While Busy = TRUE, no new command will be accepted at the inputs. Please note that it is not the execution of the service but its acceptance whose time is monitored.

bErr

BOOL

This output is switched to TRUE as soon as an error occurs during the execution of a command. The command-specific error code is contained in ‘nErrId’. Is reset to FALSE by the execution of a command at the inputs.

nErrId

UDINT

Contains the command-specific error code of the most recently executed command. Is reset to 0 by the execution of a command at the inputs. The error numbers in ErrId can be looked up in the ADS error documentation or in the NC error documentation (error codes above 0x4000).
