EtherCAT:EC SDO READ STRING
| Language: | English • 中文（简体） |
|---|
Similar to EC_SDO_READ, this function allows reading STRING values.
To read data from the slave we have to specify a SDO index and a sub-index.
The first sub-index is 0. If only one sub-index exists, we still have to specify 0 (we cannot omit this field).
The read value is returned from the function and can be set to a variable.
Input
Slave address, SDO index, SDO sub-index.
Output
str_length - This output variable is populated by the function with the string's length
Return Value
String that is read from the slave.
Declaration
public function EC_SDO_READ_STRING(byval slaveaddres as long, byval index as long, byval subindex as long, str_length as long) as string
