WriteResultsBuffer

Writes data from a referenced Buffer data structure, created by a FormatOutputBuffer function, to the currently enabled factory communication protocol. This function also writes the Result Code field for the factory communication protocols.

WriteResultsBuffer Inputs

Parameter Description
Event

Specifies the event that forces an update.

This parameter needs to be a reference to any event with a timestamp, for example InputPointCloud function.
Inspection ID Specifies a cell containing an Image structure (default = A0), or an integer of the inspection ID associated with the inspection results.
Buffer Specifies a reference to a Buffer data structure created by a FormatOutputBuffer function, which contains automatically formatted data.
Result Code Specifies an integer that can be used to communicate the result of the inspection to any connected devices.
Protocol

Specifies which protocol the user data should be written to.

1 = EtherNet/IP Specifies that EtherNet/IP is the enabled factory communication protocol.
2 = PROFINET Specifies that PROFINET is the enabled factory communication protocol.
100 = Default Specifies that the currently enabled factory communication protocol will be used. If more than one protocol is enabled, the first enabled protocol will be used.
Byte/Word Order

Specifies the bit order for words and bytes read by the function.

0 = Big endian Specifies that the most significant byte is stored first and subsequent bytes are stored in descending order.
1 = Little endian Specifies that the least significant byte is stored first and subsequent bytes are stored in ascending order.
2 = Big endian with 16-bit word swapping Big endian byte style will be applied and double word types will have their word pair order switched. (16-bit words)
3 = Little endian with 16-bit word swapping Little endian byte style will be applied and double word types will have their word pair order switched. (16-bit words)
100 = Default The default setting is used.

WriteResultsBuffer Outputs

Returns

A Write Result data structure containing the data sent to the client, or #ERR:

  • if an input parameter is invalid
  • if a connection to a client has not been established
