Publication 1757-RM810A-EN-P - May 2002
3-70 Functional Blocks
Exchange Blocks (ControlNet Interoperability)
REQFLAGARRAY (Request Flag Array)
REQNUMARRAY (Request Number Array)
Description Provides storage for up to 512 Boolean output flags The value can be accessed as a simple Boolean (Off or On) using
the PVFL [n] or PVVALSTS [n] parameters. Where “n” is the number of the flag.
Function
•
Used to define two separate states (Off/On) to indicate status of a particular input.
•
Number of flag values (NFLAG) is user configurable.
•
Current state of flags can be changed/read using flag value (PVFL [n] or PVVALSTS [n]) (Boolean).
Inputs/Outputs Boolean output flags (PVFL [0..511])
Boolean output flags (PVVALSTS [0..511])
Associated
Block REQNUMARRAY and REQTEXTARRAY.

Description Provides storage for up to 64 integers or floating point values that are accessible through the corresponding PV
configuration parameter (PV [n]). Where “n” is the number of the numeric.
Function
•
Use outputs (PV [0..63]) as source parameters to provide predefined analog constants to other function blocks. A
bad numeric output parameter typically has the value NaN (Not-a-Number).
•
Number of Numeric Values (NNUMERIC) is user configurable.
Inputs/Outputs Up to 64 outputs (PV [0..63]), depending on the number of numeric values (NNUMERIC) configured
