ItpStartStop

ItpStartStop 1:
ItpStartStop 2:

Outdated version

The sole purpose of the function block is to ensure compatibility with existing projects. For new projects please use the function block ItpStartStopEx.

ItpStartStop 3: Inputs

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

Name

Type

Description

bStart

BOOL

A positive edge starts the NC channel.

bStop

BOOL

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.

nChnId

UDINT

Channel ID

tTimeOut

TIME

ADS Timeout-Delay

ItpStartStop 4:

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.

ItpStartStop 5: Outputs

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

Name

Type

Description

bBusy

BOOL

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

BOOL

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

UDINT

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).
