IOF_GetDeviceType

IOF_GetDeviceType 1:

The "IOF_GetDeviceType" function block determines the device type knowing the device ID. The device IDs are defined by the TwinCAT system during configuration and cannot be configured by the user.

Inputs

VAR_INPUT
    NETID     : T_AmsNetId;
    DEVICEID  : UDINT;
    START     : BOOL;
    TMOUT     : TIME := DEFAULT_ADS_TIMEOUT;
END_VAR

Name	Type	Description
NETID	T_AmsNetId	The network address of the TwinCAT computer on which the ADS command is to be executed can be specified here. For the local computer an empty string may be specified.
DEVICEID	UDINT	DeviceId specifies the I/O device on which the function is to be executed. The device IDs are specified by the TwinCAT system during the hardware configuration.
START	BOOL	The function block is enabled by a positive edge at this input.
TMOUT	TIME	Specifies the time-out period that must not be exceeded when the command is executed.

Outputs

VAR_OUTPUT
    BUSY         : BOOL;
    ERR          : BOOL;
    ERRID        : UDINT;
    IODeviceType : IODEVICETYPES;
END_VAR

Name	Type	Description
BUSY	BOOL	When the function block is enabled, this output is set and remains set until a feedback is received.
ERR	BOOL	If an error should occur during the transfer of the command, then this output is set once the BUSY output was reset.
ERRID	UDINT	Returns the ADS error number when the ERR output is set.
IODeviceType	IODEVICETYPES	The device type constant.

Sample:

    GetType_Busy   : BOOL;
    GetType_Err    : BOOL;
    GetType_ErrId  : UDINT;
    DeviceType     : IODEVICETYPES;
END_VAR
