Return type: A RetCodeEnum value.
Syntax: object. GetPLCBoolEx (Station, Address, Bit, Value)
Obj./Arg. Type Dir Description
object Api
The Api object to operate on.
Station Integer In Specifies which stations PLC to access. Range 0
– 15 where 0
correspond to the station connected to the API device.
Address Integer In Specifies the offset in the PLC area of the Byte to read. Range
0
