FB_EnumRouteEntry

This function block is used to transfer information to other TwinCAT systems via the AMS router connections (remote routes). If several connections are used the function block must be called up repeatedly. Only one entry can be handled for each call. The input parameter eCmd is used for navigating through the list of entries. The eCmd input determines whether the first or the next input is read.

sNetID : T_AmsNetID;
eCmd : E_EnumCmdType := eEnumCmd_First;
bExecute : BOOL;
tTimeout : TIME := DEFAULT_ADS_TIMEOUT;
END_VAR
sNetID: Here a string containing the network address of the TwinCAT Computer can be given, whose AMS Router connection should be read. The string can also be empty for the local computer.
eCmd: Control command for the enumeration block.
bExecute: The function block is activated by a positive edge at this input.
tTimeout: States the length of the timeout that may not be exceeded by execution of the ADS command.
VAR_OUTPUT
VAR_OUTPUT
bBusy : BOOL;
bError : BOOL;
nErrId : UDINT;
bEOE : BOOL;
stRoute : ST_AmsRouteEntry;
END_VAR
bBusy: When the function block is activated this output is set. It remains set until and acknowledgement is received.
bError: If an ADS error should occur during the execution of the command, then this output is set, after the bBusy output has been reset.
nErrId: When the bError output is set, this variable supplies the ADS error code.
bEOE: End of enumeration was reached. During the first attempt to read a non-existing entry this output is set to TRUE. This means that read entries are valid if bEOE = FALSE and bError = FALSE.
stRoute: Structure element with latest read connection parameter.
Example in ST:
The configured AMS router connections are to be read on the local TwinCAT system and written into the TwinCAT System Manager logger output as messages.

A rising edge at the bEnum variable triggers reading of the connection information.
