VAR_INPUT

VAR_INPUT
    bExecute  : BOOL;           (* Function block execution is triggered by a rising edge at this input.*)
    tTimeout  : TIME := DEFAULT_ADS_TIMEOUT; (* States the time before the function is cancelled. *)
    sAmsNetId : T_AmsNetId;     (* keep empty '' for the local device *)
END_VAR

bExecute: The function block is called by a rising edge on the input bExecute, if the block is not already active.

tTimeout: Specifies a maximum length of time for the execution of the function block.

sAmsNetId: To execute the query on the local device, it is not necessary to specify this input variable. Alternatively, an empty string can be specified. To direct the query to another computer, its AMS Net Id (of type T_AmsNetId) can be specified here.
