8.14.4.12 GetPLCBool
Description: This method is replaced with the GetPLCBoolEx method and should not be used in new
applications. It is here only for backward compatibility reasons.
This method reads a Boolean value from the PLC output data area for ExtCom_API (see
Access to PLC data).
Return type: A RetCodeEnum value.
Syntax: object.GetPLCBool(Address, Bit, Value)
Obj./Arg.
Type
Dir
Description
object
Api
The Api object to operate on.
Address
Integer
In
Specifies the offset in the PLC area of the Byte to read. Range
0 – 999.
Bit
Integer
In
Specifies which bit to read within the byte. Range 0 – 7 where
0 is the Least significant bit and 7 is the Most significant bit.
Value
Boolean
Out
Returns the result. True if the read bit is 1, False otherwise.
8.14.4.13 SetPLCBool
Description: This method is replaced with the SetPLCBoolEx method and should not be used in new
applications. It is here only for backward compatibility reasons.
This method writes a Boolean value to the PLC input data area for ExtCom_API (see
Access to PLC data).
Return type: A RetCodeEnum value.
Syntax: object.SetPLCBool(Address, Bit, Value)
Obj./Arg.
Type
Dir
Description
object
Api
The Api object to operate on.
Address
Integer
In
Specifies the offset in the PLC area of the Byte to write. Range
0 – 999.
Bit
Integer
In
Specifies which bit to write within the byte. Range 0 – 7 where
0 is the Least significant bit and 7 is the Most significant bit.
Value
Boolean
In
If True then the bit is set to 1. If False then it is set to 0.
