Sercos3_IDNRead4 (FB)

FUNCTION_BLOCK Sercos3_IDNRead4

This function block could be used to read Sercos III slave parameter. In contrast to Sercos3_IDNRead only parameters not longer than 4 Bytes will be supported. The parameter to be read is specified by the IDN as used in the object dictionary.

Comment

Input

xExecute

BOOL

On a rising edge at this input the reading of the slave parameter will be started. In order to get the internal channel deallocated, the instance must be called at least once by “xExecute:= FALSE”.

xAbort

BOOL

FALSE

If this parameter is TRUE, the current read process will be aborted.

usiCom

USINT

1

Number of the Sercos III master: If only one Sercos III master is used, usiCom is ‘1’. In case of multiple masters use ‘1’ for the first, ‘2’ for the second, etc.

uiAddress

UINT

Topological address or Sercos address, depends on the parameter xIsSercosAddress

xIsSercosAddress

BOOL

FALSE

This input switches between topological address and Sercos address FALSE: uiAddress is the topological address TRUE: uiAddress is the Sercos address

usiChannel

USINT

1

Reserved for future extensions. Currently not used.

dwIDN

DWORD

IDN (Identification Number) with 4 Bytes (SI (structure instance) and SE (structure element))

wElem

WORD

  • Value 1: Structure of the IDN

  • Value 2: Name of the parameters

  • Value 3: Data attributes

  • Value 4: Unit

  • Value 5: Minimal value

  • Value 6: Maximal value

  • Value 7: Data value

udiTimeOut

UDINT

Here you can set a timeout in milliseconds. If the reading of the parameter has not been finished within this time, an error message will be generated.

Output

xDone

BOOL

This output is TRUE as soon as the command has been finished successfully.

xBusy

BOOL

This output is TRUE as long as the execution of the command has not been finished.

xError

BOOL

This output is TRUE, if an error is detected. eError will show the cause.

eError

SERCOS3_ERROR

This output shows the cause of the detected error, which is indicated by xError. For example ‘SERCOS3_TIMEOUT’ in case of an timeout.

udiSercosError

UDINT

Error code if the function block has not been finished successfully.

abyData

ARRAY [1..4] OF BYTE

This is an array of 4 Bytes to which the read parameter data will be copied. If 1 Byte have been read, this will be stored in index 1 of the array. Values of 2 resp. 4 bytes will be copied to the array according to Intel byte order.

usiDataLength

USINT

Number of read bytes (1,2,4).
