WriteBootProject (FB)

FUNCTION_BLOCK WriteBootProject EXTENDS AC500_StateMachine.AbbETrig

Function block to permanently load a new boot project. The files for the new boot project have to be available e.g. on the memory card or on the user disk. The required files can be generated by using Automation Builder. They are created on exporting the PLC application (“Boot project and firmware (SD card)…”). After triggering this export they are available in the folder “USERDATA\USERPRG” on the memory card. The files have the suffixes .app and .crc. Both files are required. They may be renamed after the export from Automation Builder, but both names have to be kept identical. Important: After successfully executing this function block a reboot of the PLC is required to start using the new boot project.

InOut:

Scope	Name	Type	Initial	Comment	Inherited from
Input	Execute	BOOL	FALSE	A rising edge starts the operation, the output Busy goes to TRUE. In the first cycle all other inputs are read and stored, afterwards they are ignored. A falling edge does not stop the operation. After Done = TRUE or Error = TRUE and Execute = FALSE all outputs will be reset.	AbbETrig
Output	Done	BOOL	FALSE	Operation is completed without error (while outputs Busy and Error are FALSE). This output is TRUE for at least one cycle or until Execute is set to FALSE	AbbETrig
	Busy	BOOL	FALSE	Operation is running (while outputs Done and Error are FALSE)	AbbETrig
	Error	BOOL	FALSE	Operation is stopped with error (while outputs Busy and Done are FALSE). This output is TRUE for at least one cycle or until Execute is set to FALSE. The output ErrorID gives more details about the error.	AbbETrig
Input	szName	STRING		Name of the boot project without suffix, e.g. if the file names are “MyApplication.app” and “MyApplication.crc”, szName has to be set to “MyApplication”
	szPath	STRING(255)		Path to the folder, where the boot application files are stored, e.g. “$$sdcard$$/some/subfolder” for files on the memory card or “$$userdisk$$/some/subfolder” for files on the user disk or “$$flashdisk$$/some/subfolder” for files on the flash disk (PM5670 only)
Output	ErrorID	ERROR_ID	ERROR_ID.NO_ERROR	Error code that describes the occured error
