Inputs

Input	Data Type	Range	Unit	Default	Description
BlockID	DINT	No range	N/A	No default	The convertor block whose output value is written to the PDO object. Example: PipeNetwork:CNV1.
DeviceAddr	INT	No range	N/A	No default	The device address of the PDO object to be written. EtherCAT devices are numbered in order. The first device is 1001, the second 1002, etc.
Index	UINT	No range	N/A	No default	The index of the PDO object to be written. The index can be determined from the table located in the PDO Selection/Mapping tab of the EtherCAT device page. In Project Explorer, under EtherCAT, select the device, then select the PDO Selection/Mapping tab.
SubIndex	USINT	No range	N/A	No default	The sub-index of the PDO object to be written. The sub-index can be determined from the table located in the PDO Selection/Mapping tab of the EtherCAT device page.

Outputs

Output	Data Type	Range	Unit	Description
Default (.Q)	BOOL	FALSE, TRUE	N/A	Returns TRUE if this function has successfully connected the output of the pipe convertor block to the EtherCAT Output (Rx) PDO Object. See Function - General Rules.

• 
  

• This function or function block returns cached data.
  See Program a Multi-Core Controller.

• The output value of the convertor block is written to the PDO object every update of the convertor block.
• The pipe block is specified by the BlockID input.
• The PDO object is specified by the DeviceAddr, Index, and SubIndex inputs.
