ItpPpgCreateMain

ItpPpgCreateMain 1:

The function block ItpPpgCreateMain generates a new file, which can later be processed as main program. If the file does not yet exist, it is created, otherwise it is overwritten.

The function block has the following inputs:

Interface

VAR_INPUT
bExecute       : BOOL;
sPathName      : STRING;
tTimeOut       : TIME;
END_VAR
VAR_OUTPUT
bBusy          : BOOL;
bErr           : BOOL;
nErrId         : UDINT;
END_VAR

Input

Data type

Description

bExecute

BOOL

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

sPathName

STRING

Name of the parts program including path name

tTimeOut

TIME

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).
