GETPX – Block for remote parameter acquirement

Block SymbolLicensing group: STANDARD

Function Description
The GETPX block works on the same principle as the GETPB, GETPI, GETPR and GETPS blocks. However, unlike these blocks, it is universal and can read parameters of all types except array. The name of the remote parameter is entered in the sc parameter in the same way as with the other blocks. The value type is set by the type parameter, and the parameter reading mode is set by the GETF parameter. If the GETF parameter is set to on, the block reads the parameter value only when requested at the GET input. If the GETF parameter is set to off, the block reads the parameter value continuously.

This block propagates the signal quality. More information can be found in the 1.4 section.

Input

GET	Input for initiating one-shot parameter read	Bool

Parameter

sc	String connection to the parameter	String
GETF	Get parameter only when forced to	Bool
	off .. Remote parameter is continuously read on ... One-shot mode
type	Data type of item $⊙$ 8	Byte (U8)
	1 .... Bool 2 .... Byte (U8) 3 .... Short (I16) 4 .... Long (I32) 5 .... Word (U16) 6 .... DWord (U32) 7 .... Float (F32) 8 .... Double (F64) 9 .... Time 10 ... Large (I64) 11 ... Error 12 ... String 13 ... Reference

Output

y	Parameter value	Any
E	Error indicator	Bool
