Description of the Inline Controller
7805_en_02 PHOENIX CONTACT 2-25
The block is activated by setting the REQUEST input. If the data has been copied to the
created DATA memory area, DONE is set for one cycle. There is no waiting for data. If no
data is present in the receive buffer, a corresponding error is indicated.
BUFFER_FULL is reset once REQUEST and DONE have been set and reset.
The amount of data read depends on the created memory area (DATA output). The size of
the array is written as a maximum. If the receive buffer is still not empty, the
BUFFER_NOT_EMPTY and RECEIVE_BUFFER_COUNT outputs are set accordingly.
