Inputs

Input

Data type

Description

i_xEnable

BOOL

A rising edge FALSE -> TRUE activates and initializes the function block, a falling edge TRUE -> FALSE deactivates the function block. A deactivated function block does not execute actions and the outputs are set to the default value.

i_ifMulticarrier

IF_Multicarrier

Interface for assigning the function block FB_Multicarrier.

Outputs

Output

Data type

Description

q_xActive

BOOL

Indicates TRUE if the execution of the function block is active. As long as the output is TRUE, the function block must be executed cyclically.

q_xReady

BOOL

Indicates TRUE if the function block is ready and can be controlled through its inputs according to its functionality.

After the function block has been enabled with a rising edge of i_xEnable, the output q_xReady is only set to TRUE if the function block can process instructions from the inputs.

If invalid input values are detected during initialization, q_xReady remains FALSE.

If the function block has detected an error, q_xReady is set to FALSE.

If the function block is deactivated using i_xEnable, q_xReady immediately becomes FALSE.

q_xError

BOOL

Indicates TRUE if an error has been detected. For details, refer to q_etResult and q_sResultMsg.

q_etResult

ET_Result

Provides diagnostic and status information as a numeric value.
If q_xError = FALSE, q_etResult provides status information.
If q_xError = TRUE, q_etResult provides diagnostic/error information.

q_sResultMsg

STRING [255]

Provides additional diagnostic and status information as a text message.
