TC_CpuUsageEx

The function block TC_CpuUsageEx can be used to determine the current CPU usage of a TwinCAT CPU core. The function corresponds to the display of the CPU usage in the TwinCAT system menu under the real-time settings for the corresponding CPU core.

Inputs

VAR_INPUT
    bExecute : BOOL;
    tTimeout : TIME;
    sNetId   : T_AmsNetId;
    nCpuId   : USINT;
END_VAR

Name	Type	Description
bExecute	BOOL	The function block is enabled by a positive edge at this input.
tTimeout	TIME	States the time-out period that may not be exceeded by execution of the ADS command.
sNetId	T_AmsNetId	AmsNetId (AMS network ID) of the TwinCAT computer whose CPU usage is to be read. An empty string may be specified for the local computer.
nCpuId	USINT	CPU ID of the TwinCAT CPU core to be used, see Real-Time \| Settings tab

Outputs

VAR_INPUT
    bBusy    : BOOL;
    bError   : BOOL;
    nErrorId : UDINT;
    nUsage   : UDINT;
END_VAR

Name	Type	Description
bBusy	BOOL	When the function block is enabled, this output is set and remains set until a feedback is received.
bError	BOOL	If an error occurs during the transmission of the command, this output is set after the bBusy output is reset.
