GetRemotePCInfo
The function block "GetRemotePCInfo" permits information about configured remote PCs in the TwinCAT Router to be read. After successful execution, the structure "RemotePCInfo" contains the NetIds and names of the remote PCs as strings, in the same sequence as that in which they are stored in the TwinCAT Router. Internally, an instance of the ADSREAD function block is called. The function block allows router information relating to either a local or to a remote TwinCAT system to be read.

VAR_INPUT
NETID :T_AmsNetId;
START :BOOL;
TMOUT :TIME := DEFAULT_ADS_TIMEOUT;
END_VAR
NETID: The AmsNetId of the TwinCAT computer whose router information about configured remote PCs is to be read can be given here. If the remote PCs of the local TwinCAT system are to be found, it is also possible to enter an empty string.
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;
RemotePCInfo :REMOTEPCINFOSTRUCT;
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.
RemotePCInfo: Structure containing information about the configured remote PCs.
Example of a call in FBD:
