sNetId: String containing the network address of the TwinCAT XML Data Server. For the local computer (default) an empty string may be specified.

ePath: This input can be used to select a TwinCAT system path on the target device for opening the file.

sSymName: Name of the PLC symbol to which the data from the XML file are to be written.
