bExecute

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

stMDP_DynAddr

The MDP addressing belonging to the selected module is specified at this input. The structure is of the type ST_MDP_Addr. The dynamic Module ID must already be transferred with it.

iSubIdxCount

The input iSubIdxCount is used to specify how many subindices of the selected Table ID are to be queried.

pDstBuf

The memory address of the data buffer is specified at this input. The received data are stored there if the query is successful.

cbDstBufLen

The length of the data buffer in bytes is specified at this input.

tTimeout

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

sAmsNetId

For local access don't specify this input or allocate an empty string. For remote access to another computer specify its AMS Net Id.

VAR_OUTPUT

VAR_OUTPUT
    bBusy           : BOOL;
    bError          : BOOL;     (* indicates if Read was successfull or not *)
    nErrID          : UDINT;
    iErrPos         : USINT;
    arrStartIdx     : ARRAY[0..255] OF UINT;    (* startindexes in bytes of each subindex element *)
END_VAR

bBusy

This output is TRUE as long as the function block is active.

bError

Becomes TRUE as soon as an error situation occurs.

nErrID

Returns an error code if the bError output is set.

iErrPos

If an error occurred and this refers to an individual element, then this output indicates the position (subindex of the element) at which an error first occurred.

arrStartIdx

This array describes how the individually queried subindices have been stored in the buffer.
The array index zero indicates the position in bytes at which the data of subindex zero begins in the buffer. Subsequent subindices are handled analogously.
