Data records in SIWAREX weighing modules
All parameters in SIWAREX weighing modules are structured in data records. These data
records must be considered as connected packages and can only be respectively read into
the CPU or written to the SIWAREX as complete packages. Reading or writing of a single
parameter within a data record is not possible. You can find a description of all data records
and their parameters in chapter → Scale parameters and functions of the belt scale
(Page 69).
Reading and writing of data records is carried out using special command codes which can
be sent with three command mailboxes handled according to priority within the instance DB:
Figure 11-6 CMD command mailboxes
As shown in the graphics, a command mailbox always consists of a command code (Int) and
four bits (Bool). A command is set by entering the desired command code in the
"i_CMD_CODE" parameter and setting the respective command trigger
"bo_CMD_TRIGGER". The status bits "bo_CMD_InProgress" (command being processed),
"bo_CMD_FinishedOk" (command finished without errors) and "bo_CMD_FinishedError"
(command rejected or finished with error) can be evaluated in the user program.
In addition, the three command mailboxes are managed and processed according to priority.
CMD1 has the highest priority, CMD3 has the lowest priority. If all three command mailboxes
are triggered simultaneously by the user program, for example, the function block initially
processes CMD1, then CMD2, and finally CMD3. Cyclic triggering of command mailbox 3 is
also interrupted by intermediate sending of a command in mailbox 2 or 1 for processing of
the respective command.
Note
Cyclic triggering of t
he CMD1 command mailbox makes it impossible to send commands in
