NT_Reboot

NT_Reboot 1:

The Windows NT operating system can be restarted with the aid of the "NT_Reboot" function block. The function largely corresponds to the Restart command on the Windows taskbar. A delay before execution of the Restart command can be defined via the DELAY parameter. Internally, an instance of the ADSWRTCTRL function block is called.

VAR_INPUT

VAR_INPUT
    NETID       :T_AmsNetId;
    DELAY       :DWORD;
    START       :BOOL;
    TMOUT       :TIME := DEFAULT_ADS_TIMEOUT;
END_VAR

NETID: It is possible here to provide the AmsNetId of the TwinCAT computer that is to be re-booted. If the restart is to take place on the local computer, an empty string can be entered.

DELAY: The delay time, in seconds, before the Restart command is executed.

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;
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.
