SCTSi Ethernet

1 SCTSi Ethernet

1.1 Description
The following function blocks are provided to support the control and processing of the process data of the
SCTSi Ethernet:
- FB_SCTSi_ETH_CU
- FB_SCTSi_ETH_Ej
- FB_SCTSi_ETH_DI
- stEjectorExtendedValues

For the central monitoring of the SCTSi Ethernet, the function block "FB_SCTSi_ETH_CU" can be used once per
terminal.
Depending on the expansion stage, the number of ejectors can vary. For this reason, the function block
"FB_SCTSi_ETH_Ej" can be integrated per ejector. In order to obtain the extended data, the structure
“stEjectorExtendedValues” can be integrated.
If the expansion stage contains digital input modules, the function block "FB_SCTSi_ETH_DI" can be used per
module.
