The value that should be written to the local record. The port inherits the data type and the dimensions from the Init Value parameter. This port is just a buffer. The length to be written can be less than the port size and can be defined by the Length input port.

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

The block writes data to the record as long as this 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 allows event-based writing of the value as well as immediate updates of the output ports.

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. In this case, the block writes 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.

If the data size that remote PROFINET controllers want to read exceeds the size last written, the device replies with the actual data size.

Data type: uint32

Outputs the current value of the record. The port inherits the data type and dimensions from the Init Value parameter. This port is just a buffer. Depending on the size of the data that was last written to the record, the port fills up the buffer with zeros. The Length output port outputs the actual size.

A rising or falling edge indicates a completed write operation. The record's value was either written by the block's input ports or by a write request from the remote PROFINET controller.

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

Data type: uint32

The actual size of the data that was last written to the record. Defined in number of bytes. As remote PROFINET controllers are allowed to write less than the default size, the actual size can be less than the size of the Data output port.

Data type: uint32

This ID defines the link to the corresponding Setup block

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

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

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

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

The default value of the record. The value implicitly defines the size of the local record. The Data output port outputs this value until the first write request is received from the remote PROFINET controller. The other way round, the PROFINET controller reads this value as long as the record is not overwritten by the signal connected to the Data input port. The Init Value corresponds to the XML attribute Data of the related ParameterRecordDataItem in the GSDML file.

This parameter defines the local operation on the record's value. You can read or write the value, or do both. Write enables the input ports. Read enables the output ports.

If selected, the block shows the Length input port, the Status output port and the Length 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.
