IOF_GetDeviceIDByName

IOF_GetDeviceIDByName 1:

The function block IOF_GetDeviceIDByName allows the device ID of an I/O device to be determined from the device identifier. When successful, the function block returns the device ID specified by the TwinCAT System Manager during the configuration. The device IDs can not be configured by the user. Internally to the function block an instance of the ADSRDWRT function block is called.

VAR_INPUT

VAR_INPUT
    NETID       : T_AmsNetId;
    DEVICENAME  : T_MaxString;
    START       : BOOL;
    TMOUT       : TIME;
END_VAR

NETID: It is possible here to provide the AmsNetId of the TwinCAT computer on which the function to be executed. If it is to be run on the local computer, an empty string can be entered.

DEVICENAME: The device identification of an I/O device.

START: The function block is activated by a positive edge at this input.

TMOUT: States the length of the timeout that may not be exceeded by execution of the ADS command.

VAR_OUTPUT

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

BUSY: When the function block is activated this output is set. It remains set until and acknowledgement is received.

ERR: If an ADS error should occur during the transfer of the command, then this output is set once the BUSY output is reset.

ERRID: Supplies the ADS error number when the ERR output is set.

DEVICEID: The device ID of an I/O device.
