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 assume values between 1 and 50 (the library TcNci.lib from version 5.4.16 supports 255 tool parameters).
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	The structure that contains the new tool parameters. This structure is only accessed for reading. 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).
