VAR_INPUT

VAR_INPUT
    sIPAddr   : STRING(15);
    nTCPPort  : UINT:= MODBUS_TCP_PORT;
    nUnitID   : BYTE:=16#FF;
    nQuantity : WORD;
    nMBAddr   : WORD;
    cbLength  : UDINT;
    pDestAddr : UDINT;
    bExecute  : BOOL;
    tTimeout  : TIME;
END_VAR

sIPAddr : Is a string containing the IP address of the target device.

nTCPPort : Port number of the target device.

nUnitID: Identification number of a serial sub-network device. If a device is addressed directly via TCP/IP, this value must be 16#FF.

nQuantity : Number of digital inputs (data bits) to be read. The value of nQuantity must be > 0.

nMBAddr : Start address of the digital inputs to be read (bit offset).

cbLength : Contains the max. byte size of the destination buffer into which the data are to be read. The minimum buffer byte size must be: (nQuantity + 7) / 8.

pDestAddr : Contains the address of the destination buffer into which the data are to be read. The buffer can be a single variable, an array or a structure, whose address can be found with the ADR operator.

bExecute: The function block is activated by a rising edge at this input.

tTimeout: States the length of the timeout that may not be exceeded by execution of the ADS command.

VAR_OUTPUT

VAR_OUTPUT
    bBUSY     : BOOL;
    bError    : BOOL;
    nErrId    : UDINT;
    cbRead    : UDINT;
END_VAR

bBusy : When the function block is activated this output is set. It remains set until an acknowledgement is received.

bError : If an ADS error should occur during the transfer of the command, then this output is set once the bBusy output is reset.

nErrId : Supplies the ADS error number when the bError output is set.

cbRead: Contains the number of bytes currently read.
