Range of
values:
P#DBxx.DBX yy.0 DWORD zz
xx : Data block number 1...32767
yy : Byte number
zz : Number of double words 1...12 starting at byte number
yy
Example: P#DB20.DBX 100.0 DWORD 4
Remember the periods and spaces when entering the
pointer!
No parameter specified: Default (null pointer) is valid. This
is, however, not permitted! A pointer >< null pointer must be
specified.
The ANY pointer defines the data area in which the locally entered
parameter values or those received from the partner are output. This data
area must be within a data block and its length can vary between 1 and 12
double words.
The content of each double word may be a value in double word format (e.g.
DINT, REAL etc.); it can also be a mixture of other formats which together
form a double word, for example,
• 4 bytes, or
• 2 words, or
• 2 bytes plus 1 word.
FB Par12D_R stores the received data without further processing in the data
area defined by ParameterOutput. The user program is responsible for
evaluating and processing received data.
When only changed data is sent by the partner object Par12D_S, it is
possible that only part of the data output area is newly written, namely, the
area in which the changes were detected at the acquisition end.
If the parameter setting is incorrect (null pointer, length greater than 12, data
area not a data block), an error message to this effect is entered in the
diagnostics buffer (event ID B114, [Info2/3] = 11). The CPU does not change
to STOP. The FB is then no longer processed, however, until the parameter
assignment error has been corrected.
Note
When only the changed data area is received, this area consists of the first and the last
double word in which a change was detected and all words located in between, even if these
have not changed.
Example:
The area to be read is 10 double words long. In this case, changes were detected in the 2nd,
5th and 8th double words. The transmitted area is therefore from the 2nd to the 8th double
word inclusive.
