NOTE
You need to use the TIA-Portal to be able to use those function blocks. If you use the old
SIMATIC STEP7 V5.5 software it is not possible to use those function blocks.

Overview
The Result Output function block simplifies the use of a TriSpector1000 vision sensor
on Simatic S7-1500/1200/400/300 controls. It is designed for TCP/IP communica‐
tion. The function block supports the task to read and normalize an example output
string from the TriSpector1000.
The picture below shows the concept behind the TriSpector1000 PLC integration.
12.6.3
TriSpector1000 configuration
To integrate the TriSpector1000 into the TIA PLC environment, the current active Result
Output configuration must be known in the PLC program. This function block is written
to handle a specific example string. To follow this example this string need to be config‐
ured in the TriSpector1000.
12.6.3.1
Define output string
The user can define the TriSpector1000 Ethernet output string in any way she wants, it
can be short, it can be long, it can contain only numbers, it can contain only characters,
it’s up to the user to decide. This function block can’t handle any type of result string.
