udpSendToVar

Description

This function sends the contents of a local variable to another controller. This allows for the exchange of data across controllers.

Limitations:
- Function A function calculates a result according to the current value of its inputs. A function has no internal data and is not linked to declared instances. block instance variable types are not supported.
- The following types of variables cannot be sent or received:
  - Variables defined with a UDFB "User Defined Function Block" UDFB can be used as a sub-function block in another program of the application. It is described using FBD, LD, ST or IL language. Input / output parameters of a UDFB (as well as private variables) are declared in the variable editor as local variables of the UDFB.
  - The Input and Output variables defined for a sub-program.
- udpSendToVar and udpRcvFromVar will not automatically swap bytes for big vs. little endian systems.
- Send / receive between a Simulator and PDMM/PCMM is not supported.
- 3rd party stand-alone programs on x86 platforms are responsible for endian conversions for UDP telegrams from a PDMM/PCMM.
