N - Network marker bit x
nN - NET station n marker x
LE - Output backlight x
Q - Bit output from another FB x
Parameter set
Description Note
Function block release by
EN is necessary
If this checkbox is enabled, the state
of function block input EN will be
evaluated. If the checkbox is dis-
abled instead, the function block will
be enabled and function block input
EN will not do anything.
This parameter ensures that
when existing programs are
copied, the functionality of the
function blocks that are carried
over will be retained. The para-
meter will be automatically set
to 0 or 1 depending on the func-
tion block.

Function block input NET-ID: The number of the trans-

Simulation not possible
To set parameters, follow the steps below:
Uniquely define the sender providing the value for the GET function block. To do
this, go to Programming view/Get value from the NET parameters tab /Function
block input section/NET-ID and select the number of the transmitting NET station.
Select also the number of the transmitting PUT function block from the PT drop-
down menu.
Connect the QV function block output to an operand to which you want to pass the
received value.
Other
