Function Blocks

The function blocks FB_sACN and FB_sACN_Ex belong to the encoder / decoder module. The communication module consists of one function block FB_UDP_Connection. The two interfaces are ICommunication and I_sACN.

The function block FB_sACN implemented sACN-2009, and the function block FB_sACN_Ex that derived from FB_sACN, implemented sACN-2016.

FB_UDP_Connection enbables sending and receiving of frames via UDP. It is an implementation of interface ICommunication and it should be instanced and linked to the function block FB_sACN or FB_sACN_Ex.

 

According to the sACN specification the usage of sACN frame is carried in UDP packets and in the future, the frame maybe allowed to carry over other networks supported by ACN.
