The value that should be written to the record in the remote device. The port inherits the data type and the dimensions from the connected source block. The data type and dimensions do not both need to match the data type and dimensions of the record in the remote slave device, but the overall number of bytes must be equal to or less than the size of the record.

Data type: Fundamental data types from boolean to double are supported as well as dimensions from scalar values to vectors

The block sends out write requests as long as the input port is TRUE.

Best practice is to set the block's sample time to a higher rate (like 1 ms) and trigger the Enable input port at a lower rate. This ensures low network traffic but immediate updates of the output ports once a response is received.

Data type: boolean

The actual size of the data that should be written to the record, specified in number of bytes.

If enabled by the Extended Interface parameter, the port limits the size of the data to be written to the record. The write request will contain a subset of the signal connected with the Data input port.

If disabled, the entire signal connected with the Data input port will be written to the record.

Data type: uint32

A rising or falling edge indicates a completed write operation. Either a response was received and Data was written or the Error output port provides an error code.

If the Status output does not change, the write operation is still in progress or the block is idle.

Data type: uint32

Outputs the error code reported by the driver, the protocol stack or the remote device (the error included in the response).

Data type: uint32

The index of the remote PROFINET device. Find the index in the SYCON.net project. In SYCON.net, double-click the controller node. In the navigation area, click Device Table. In the table on the right, navigate to the device whose record you want to read and locate the device index in the Index column.

The API of the module to which the record belongs. Valid values are between 0 and 0xFFFFFFF.

The slot of the module to which the record belongs. Valid values are between 0 and 0xFFFF.

The subslot of the submodule to which the record belongs. Valid values are between 0 and 0xFFFF.

Enter the index of the record within the respective subslot. Corresponds to the XML attribute Index of the related ParameterRecordDataItem in the GSDML file. Valid values are between 0 and 0xFFFF

The time the module should wait for a response from the remote device before allowing the next Record block to send out its request.

If selected, the block shows the Length input port, the Status output port and the Error output port. Otherwise, the ports are hidden.

Defines the base sample time at which this driver block gets its sample hit. This parameter can also be set to -1 for inherited sample time. The units are in seconds.
