The function block ItpPpgAppendGenericBlock adds a generic line to the parts program. It can be used to activate an M-function or rounding, for example.

Before it is called, ItpPpgCreateMain or ItpPpgCreateSubroutine should be called.

The function block ItpPpgAppendGenericBlock has the following inputs:

    bExecute       : BOOL;
    sPathName      : STRING;
    sBlock         : STRING;
    tTimeOut       : TIME;

Description

Input

Data type

Description

bExecute

BOOL

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

sPathName

ADS Timeout-Delay

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).
