ADSWRITE

Block for executing an ADS write command for transferring data to an ADS device.

Inputs

VAR_INPUT
    NETID   : T_AmsNetId;
    PORT    : T_AmsPort;
    IDXGRP  : UDINT;
    IDXOFFS : UDINT;
    LEN     : UDINT;
    SRCADDR : PVOID;
    WRITE   : BOOL;
    TMOUT   : TIME := DEFAULT_ADS_TIMEOUT;
END_VAR

Name	Type	Description
NETID	T_AmsNetId	String containing the AMS network ID of the target device to which the ADS command is addressed (type: T_AmsNetId).
PORT	T_AmsPort	Port number of the ADS device (type: T_AmsPort)
IDXGRP	UDINT	Index group number (32-bit, unsigned) of the requested ADS service. This value is to be found in the ADS table of the addressed device.
IDXOFFS	UDINT	Index offset number (32-bit, unsigned) of the requested ADS service. This value is to be found in the ADS table of the addressed device.
LEN	UDINT	Number of data to be read in bytes
SRCADDR	PVOID	Address of the buffer from which the data to be written is to be fetched. The programmer is responsible for dimensioning the buffer such that LEN bytes can be taken from it. The buffer can be a single variable, an array or a structure, whose address can be found with the ADR operator.
WRITE	BOOL	The ADS command is triggered by a rising edge at this input.
TMOUT	TIME	Indicates the time before the function is canceled.

Outputs

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

Name	Type	Description
BUSY	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. No new commands are accepted at the inputs as long as BUSY = TRUE. Note that it is not the execution of the service but its acceptance whose time is monitored.
ERR	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 ERRID. If the function block has a timeout error, ERR is TRUE and ERRID is 1861 (hexadecimal 0x745). Is reset to FALSE by the execution of a command at the inputs.
ERRID	UDINT	ADS error code or command-specific error code of the last executed command. Is reset to 0 by the execution of a command at the inputs.

Example of calling the block in FBD

ADSWRITE 4:

NC axis no. 1 is here deactivated through a write instruction with IDXGRP 00004201 (hex) and the IDXOFFS 00000050 (hex). To activate the axis another write instruction with the IDXOFFS 00000051 (hex) must be given. Since this write instruction does not require any parameters, the inputs LEN and SRCADDR have no significance, but must nevertheless be set to zero.
