Operation
When this block detects a leading edge on Execute it checks whether the SDO client in the specified NodeID # address is free to send data (Busy variable at FALSE level). If so, it sends the writing request to the object of Size# size located in Index# and SubIndex# and sets the Active output, resetting it when receiving the response from the slave. If the slave is not free, the block waits Busy go to FALSE level to resubmit the request.
|
NOTE! If Execute goes to FALSE level and Busy is still at TRUE level, the request is canceled. |
|
NOTE! Value is an array of size equal to Size#. It is important to check this compatibility not to generate errors in the block. |
|
NOTE! It is only possible to read one object (BYTE, WORD, DWORD) per block. It is not possible to read an array of objects. |
When Execute has FALSE value, Done remains FALSE. The Done output is only activated when the block finishes executing successfully, remaining at TRUE level until Execute receives FALSE.
If there is any error in the execution, the Error output is enabled and ErrorID displays an error code according to the table below.

Description |
0 |
Executed successfully |
1 |
Card cannot execute the function |
2 |
Timeout in slave response |
3 |
Slave returned error |

Example in Ladder

The example above requests writing of the data size VALUE, located in INDEX - SUBINDEX, of the NODEID device. The block ends successfully, Done output is activated.
Example in ST
The example below displays the instructions for applying the example above in the ST language.
VAR ERROR : BOOL; INDEX, TIMEOUT : WORD; NODEID, SUBINDEX : BYTE; VALUE : UDINT; CO_SDOWRITE_INST_0 : FB_CO_SDOWrite; END_VAR
CO_SDOWRITE_INST_0.Execute := DI1; CO_SDOWRITE_INST_0( NodeId:=NODEID, Index:=INDEX, SubIndex:=SUBINDEX, Size:=4, Timeout:=TIMEOUT, Value:=VALUE); ERROR := CO_SDOWRITE_INST_0.Error; DO1 := CO_SDOWRITE_INST_0.Done;
