SendSMS

VAR_INPUT

Send        : BOOL;
Number      : String;
Text        : String(160);

Send: The function block is activated by a positive edge at this input.

Number: telephone number to be dialled in national format (e.g.: 0170123456)

Text: The SMS message to be sent

VAR_OUTPUT

Busy         : BOOL;
Error       : INT;

Busy: This output is set when there is a rising edge at the Send input, and remains set until the SMS has been sent to the modem or until an error has occurred.

Error: If an error occurs while the SMS is being transferred, the Busy output is reset, and an error code is made available at the Error output. If the Error output is 0, the transfer was successful.

The function block can return the following errors:

VAR_IN_OUT

RXbuffer     : ComBuffer;
TXbuffer     : ComBuffer;

RXbuffer: Structure for communication with the serial interface. An interface-specific block in the 'Serial Communication' library fills this buffer with the data for the interface.

TXbuffer: Structure for communication with the serial interface. An interface-specific block in the 'Serial Communication' library transfers the data from this buffer to the interface.

These structures, and their usage, are described in more detail in the documentation for the ‘Serial Communication' library. The SendSMS block is here connected to a SendString or ReceiveString block.
