ItpSingleBlock

from library version 6.1.26

ItpSingleBlock 1:

The ItpSingleBlock block activates or deactivates single block mode in the NCI. Block relaying can be triggered directly from the PLC with the input 'bTriggerNext'. Alternatively the Start button of the interpreter (F5) can be used in the System Manager.

A more detailed description can be found in the interpreter documentation.

Description

The block has the following inputs:

Input

Data type

Description

bExecuteModeChange

BOOL

Single block mode (nMode) is activated through a rising edge at this input.

nMode

E_ItpSingleBlockMode

Operation mode for single block (cf. single block mode):

  • ItpSingleBlockOff: single block off
  • ItpSingleBlockNck: single block in NC kernel
  • ItpSingleBlockIntp: single block in interpreter

bTriggerNext

BOOL

Block relaying is triggered by a rising edge at this input.

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.

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).
