Introduction

The present function blocks simplify data exchange between the TwinCAT PLC runtime system and/or other ADS devices (TwinCAT NC, Bus Terminal Controller, ...).

The FB_WriteXXXOnDelta() function blocks implement a write procedure when the input signal rises above or falls below a specified limit value. The frequency with which the input signal is examined can be set. Event-driven data writing minimises the loading on the fieldbus. If an error occurs during transmission, the process is repeated until the connection is established once more. All data types supported in the TwinCAT PLC are permitted as source and destination variables. Symbol names are also supported.

The FB_XXXAdsSymByName() function blocks execute a procedure to write or read the name of the PLC variable.

Watchdog blocks are available to monitor individual communication partners. The device that is to be monitored cyclically transmits an incrementing counter. A check is made at the receiver to see that the counter state changes within a specific time.

FB_WriteAdsSymByName

Writing any desired value to another controller with the aid of the symbol name.

On a rising edge at the bWrite input the block writes the value to which the pointer nSrcAddr points into the variable sVarName of the selected ADS device (e.g. PLC). The ADS device is indicated by the AMS-NetId (sNetId) and the AMS Port number (nPort).

The internal mode of operation of the block can be changed with the aid of the eComMode input:

eComMode := eAdsComMode_SecureCom: Following each write procedure the handle of the PLC variable is released again. This mode should be used when values are exchanged very slowly.

eComMode := eAdsComMode_FastCom: As long as the sVarName, sNetID and nPort inputs do not change, the handle of the PLC variable will not be released after each write procedure. This mode should be used when values are exchanged very frequently.

FB_ReadAdsSymByName

The block enables the reading of any value from another controller with the aid of the symbol name.

On a rising edge at the bRead input the block reads the value of the variable sVarName from the selected ADS device (e.g. PLC). The ADS device is indicated by the AMS-NetId (sNetId) and the AMS Port number (nPort). The value is written into the variable to which nDestAddr points.

The internal mode of operation of the block can be changed with the aid of the eComMode input:

eComMode := eAdsComMode_SecureCom: Following each read procedure the handle of the PLC variable is released again. This mode should be used when values are exchanged very slowly.

eComMode := eAdsComMode_FastCom: As long as the sVarName, sNetID and nPort inputs do not change, the handle of the PLC variable will not be released after each read procedure. This mode should be used when values are exchanged very frequently.

FB_WriteBoolOnDelta

Event-driven writing of a variable of type BOOLEAN.

The FB_WriteBoolOnDelta() function block checks cyclically whether the value at the bSignal input has changed. The cycle time within which the check is carried out is specified by the parameter tCycleTime. If 0 seconds is given for tCycleTime, the input signal is examined during every PLC cycle. If a change is detected, the value of the signal is sent to the ADS device that is to be specified. The receiver is addressed by means of the AMS-NetId and the port number (see also ADS Device Identification). The position within the receiver is specified by the index group/index offset or by the symbol name. Usually this is the input image or the flags area.

If the bEnable input is set to FALSE, no further signal transmission is carried out.

FB_WriteRealOnDelta

Event-driven writing of a variable of type REAL.

The FB_WriteRealOnDelta() function block checks cyclically whether the value at the fSignal input has changed. The cycle time within which the check is carried out is specified by the parameter tCycleTime. If 0 seconds is given for tCycleTime, the input signal is examined during every PLC cycle. If the comparison establishes that the current value is greater than fUpperLimit or lower than the value fLowerLimit, then the value is sent to the ADS device that is to be specified. The receiver is addressed by means of the AMS-NetId and the port number (see also ADS Device Identification). The position within the receiver is specified by the index group/index offset or by the symbol name. Usually this is the input image or the flags area.

The internal representation of floating point numbers differs according to the hardware being used. Whereas Intel use the "little-endian" format, Motorola-based hardware employs the "big-endian" format. The input variable bSwapLowHighWord can be used to make the necessary adjustment in order to be able to exchange floating point numbers. This is necessary, for instance, if floating point numbers need to be exchanged between the TwinCAT PLC running on a PC and a BC9000.

If the bEnable input is set to FALSE, no further signal transmission is carried out.

FB_CheckWatchdog

Monitoring a watchdog signal transmitted by the FB_WriteWatchdog() block.

The device to be monitored regularly transmits a changing counter state to the device that is to check the transmission. The function block FB_CheckWatchdog() is used there to monitor the state of the counter. If this does not change within a specific period, the bWatchdog output is set to TRUE. If a value of 0 seconds is specified for tWatchdogTime, the bWatchdog signal is set to FALSE. The period specified by tWachtdogTime should be a multiple (5-10 times) of the time in which the monitoring signal is transmitted.

VAR_INPUT

FB_WriteWatchdog

Writing a watchdog signal to another ADS device (TwinCAT PLC, Bus Terminal Controller, ...).

The FB_WriteWatchdog() function block cyclically writes the contents of a 32-bit counter into another ADS device. The counter is incremented every time the transmission is successful. The FB_CheckWatchdog() function block can be used at the receiver to evaluate this signal. The receiver is addressed by means of the AMS-NetId and the port number (see also ADS Device Identification). The position within the receiver is specified by the index group/index offset or by the symbol name. Usually this is the input image or the flags area.

The period for tWachtdogTime should not be shorter than 1 second, to avoid transmitting the counter state too frequently. If 0 seconds is given for tWatchdogTime, the signal is not transmitted. Please also note the description of the FB_CheckWatchdog() block. If the bEnable input is set to FALSE, no further transmission of the watchdog signal is carried out.
