SerializeIn

 Function - Extract the value of a variable from a binary frame.

Inputs

Input	Data Type	Range	Unit	Default	Description
En	BOOL	0 to 1	N/A	No default	Execute the function.
Frame[ ]	USINT	0,+65535	N/A	N/A	Source buffer. Must be an array.
Data	ANY(*)	No range	N/A	No default	Destination variable to be copied.
Pos	DINT	0,+65535	N/A	N/A	Position in the source buffer.
BigEndian	BOOL	0 to 1	N/A	No default	TRUE if the frame is encoded with Big Endian format.

(*) DATA cannot be a STRING.

Outputs

Output	Data Type	Range	Unit	Description
OK	BOOL		N/A	Returns TRUE when the function successfully executes. See Function - General Rules.
NextPos	DINT		N/A	Position in the source buffer after the copied data. 0 (zero) in case of error (e.g., invalid position or buffer size).

Remarks

• Used to extract data from a communication frame in binary format.
• This function cannot be used to serialize STRING variables.
• The DATA input must be directly connected to a variable.
  • It cannot be a constant or complex expression.
  • This variable is forced with the extracted value.
• The FRAME input must fit the input position and data size.
  • If the value cannot be safely extracted, the function returns 0 (zero).
• The function returns the position in the source frame after the extracted data.
  • The return value can be used as a position for the next serialization.

This function extracts these number of bytes from the source frame:

Bytes	Description
1 byte	BOOL, BYTE, SINT, and USINT variables.
2 bytes	INT, UINT, and WORD variables.
4 bytes	DINT, DWORD, REAL, and UDINT variables.
8 bytes	LINT and LREAL variables.

FBD Language Example

FFLD Language Example

• In the FFLD Language, the operation is executed only if the input rung (EN) is TRUE.
  • The output rung (ENO) keeps the same value as the input rung.

IL Language Example

Not available.

ST Language Example

Q := SERIALIZEIN (FRAME, DATA, POS, BIGENDIAN);
