FB_WriteBoolOnDelta

The function block enables event-driven writing of a variable of type BOOLEAN.

The function block FB_WriteBoolOnDelta checks cyclically whether the value at the input bSignal has changed. The cycle time for checking is determined by the parameter tCycleTime. If 0 s is given for tCycleTime, the input signal is examined during every PLC cycle. If a change is detected, the value of the signal is sent to the specified ADS device. The receiver is addressed by means of the AMS-NetId and the port number (see also ADS Device Identification). The position within the receiver is specified by the index group/index offset or by the symbol name. Usually this is the input image or the flags area.

If the input bEnable is set to FALSE, no further signal transmission is carried out.
