Attributes

In this section will be described basic block Attributes.

Block#

Universal attribute for all blocks (DB,FC,FB,OB,IDB) defining base properties, such as Name, Comment, Version ...

note

Use arguments in the format {0,1 ...} to write it with "params string[] args"

[Block(Name = "ARG{0}_ARG{1}")]
public class Idb : TiaGlobalIdb<F_RCVDP, Input, InOut, Output, Static>
{
    public Idb(IPlcClient plcClient, params string[] args) : base(plcClient, args)
    {

    }
}

note

If name or Block attribute is not used. Name will be taken from class name.

Destination#

Defines where the block will be placed in the Tia folder structure.

[Destination("ARG", "Station", "Instance")] //or [Destination("ARG/Station/Instance")]
public class Idb : TiaGlobalIdb<F_RCVDP, Input, InOut, Output, Static>
{
    public Idb(IPlcClient plcClient, params string[] args) : base(plcClient, args)
    {

    }
}

note

Use '/' or '", "' to separate directory.

Scope#

Base on name from attribute will be generated number for block. Connection between name and number must be defined by AddressScopeDefinition in PlcClient class.

warning

When in block properties (attribute) 'number' is defined Scope will be ignored.

[Scope("Idb")]
public class Idb : TiaGlobalIdb<FB_Bauteilkontrolle, _Input, _InOut, _Output, _Static>
{
    public Idb(IPlcClient client, params string[] args) : base(client,, args)
    {
    }
}

public static void GenerateAddresScope(AddressScopeDefinition definition)
{
    definition.AddDbScope(new Dictionary<string, ushort>()
    {
    ["BA"] = 13,
    ["Station"] = 20,
    ["Robot"] = 100,
    ["Schnistelle"] = 130,
    ["Idb"] = 2000,
    });
}
