Function BlockeipWriteAttrPLCopen motion icon

This function block sends an explicit message (UCMM) to an Ethernet/IP adapter, for writing a single CIPClosed "Common Industrial Protocol " The Common Industrial Protocol allows complete integration of control with information, multiple CIP Networks, and Internet technologies attribute.

Inputs

Parameter Type Description
Snd BOOL A rising edgeClosed A rising edge is the transition of a digital signal from low to high. It is also called positive edge on this input start the exchange. The DONE output will signal the end of exchange.
SrvIP STRING IP address of the server (adapter) such as configured in the "Ethernet/IP Scanner" configuration.
Class UINT Class identifier of the CIP object.
Inst UINT Instance identifier of the CIP object.
Attr UINT Identifier of the CIP attribute.
Size UINT Number of bytes to write. Cannot exceed 450 bytes.
Data array of UINT Buffer containing the data to write.

Outputs

Parameter Type Description
Done BOOL This output is TRUE during one cycle when the exchange is finished, whatever the exchange succeeded or failed. Warning, this output can be TRUE just after the call to block when starting a new exchange in case of invalid parameters.
RcvSize UINT Actual size of the CIP attribute answered by the server. If this size if greater than the size of the DATA input array, it indicates that the value was truncated.
Err UINT Main error report. Can be one of the following values:
0 = no error
1 = invalid input arguments
2 = system is busy (see remarks)
3 = timeout waiting for the answer (the timeout value is 3 seconds
4 = UCMM error was returned by the server
others = internal errors (reserved for technical support)
EmErr UINT in case of a UCMM error, this is the CIP general status error code.
EmErrExt UINT in case of a UCMM error, this is the CIP extended status error code.

Remarks

The servers (adapters) accessed by this block must be configured in the "Ethernet/IP Scanner" fieldbus configuration.

Only one explicit message (read or write) can be sent at one time to the same server. If another message is pending then you will get the error report 3 (busy) after calling the block to start a new exchange.

Consider SerializeIn and SerializeOut functions for storing data to the write buffer.
