PLC_Reset

PLC_Reset 1:

The "PLC_Reset" function block can be used to reset a PLC run-time system. When the PLC is reset, the PLC variables are filled with their initial values, and the execution of the PLC program is stopped. Internally, an instance of the ADSWRTCTRL function block is called.

 VAR_INPUT

VAR_INPUT
    NETID       :T_AmsNetId;
    PORT        :T_AmsPort;
    RESET       :BOOL;
    TMOUT       :TIME := DEFAULT_ADS_TIMEOUT;
END_VAR

NETID: It is possible here to provide the AmsNetId of the TwinCAT computer on which the PLC run-time system is to be reset. If the PLC reset is to be carried out on the local computer, an empty string can be entered.

PORT: Contains the ADS port number of the PLC run-time system that is to be reset. The first PLC run-time system, for example, has port number 801, and the second has port number 811.

RESET: 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.
