FB_FilePuts
The function block "FB_FilePuts" writes strings to the file. The string’s terminating null character ('$00') will not be written. The file must previously have been opened in the text mode.
VAR_INPUT
VAR_INPUT
sNetId : T_AmsNetId;
hFile : UINT;
sLine : T_MaxString; (* string to write *)
bExecute : BOOL;
tTimeout : TIME;
END_VAR
sNetId : Is a string containing the AMS network identifier of the target device to which the ADS command is directed.
hFile : Is occupied by the file handle already created by FB_FileOpen.
sLine : Contains the PLC string to write.
bExecute : The ADS command is triggered by a rising edge at this input.
tTimeout : States the time before the function is cancelled.
VAR_OUTPUT
VAR_OUTPUT
bBusy : BOOL;
bError : BOOL;
nErrId : UDINT;
END_VAR
bBusy: This output remains TRUE until the block has executed a command, but at the longest for the duration supplied to the ‘tTimeout’ input. While bBusy = TRUE, no new command will be accepted at the inputs. Please note that it is not the execution of the service but its acceptance whose time is monitored.
bError: This output is switched to TRUE if an error occurs during the execution of a command. The command-specific error code is contained in ‘nErrId’.
nErrId: Contains the command-specific ADS error code of the most recently executed command.
Function specific ADS error code | Possible reason |
---|---|
0x703 | Invalid or unknown file handle. |
0x70E | File was opened with wrong method ( e.g. with 'obsolete' FILEOPEN function block ). |
Example of calling the block in FBD:
