ItpStartStopEx

The function block ItpStartStopEx starts or stops the NC channel.

VAR_INPUT

VAR_INPUT
    bStart         : BOOL;
    bStop          : BOOL;
    tTimeOut       : TIME;
END_VAR

bStart: A positive edge starts the NC channel

bStop: A positive edge stops the NC channel. A stop command deletes all the tables in the NC and brings the axes to a controlled halt.

	The bStop input has a higher priority than the bStart input, so that if both inputs receive a positive edge, a channel stop will be executed.

VAR_IN_OUT

VAR_IN_OUT
    sNciToPlc           : NCTOPLC_NCICHANNEL_REF;
END_VAR

sNciToPlc: The structure of the cyclic channel interface from the NCI to the PLC. This structure is only accessed for reading. (type: NCTOPLC_NCICHANNEL_REF)

VAR_OUTPUT

VAR_OUTPUT
    bBusy     : BOOL;
    bErr      : BOOL;
    nErrId    : UDINT;
END_VAR

bBusy: This output remains TRUE until the function block has executed a command, but at the longest for the duration supplied to the 'Timeout' input. While Busy = TRUE, no new command will be accepted at the inputs. Please note that it is not the execution of the service but its acceptance whose time is monitored.

bErr: This output is switched to TRUE as soon as an error occurs during the execution of a command. The command-specific error code is contained in ‘nErrId’. Is reset to FALSE by the execution of a command at the inputs.

nErrId: Contains the command-specific error code of the most recently executed command. Is reset to 0 by the execution of a command at the inputs. The error numbers in ErrId can be looked up in the ADS error documentation or in the NC error documentation (error codes above 0x4000).
