WriteProfinetBuffer

Writes data from a referenced Buffer structure, created by the FormatOutputBuffer function, to remote PROFINET IO client devices. For more information, see FormatOutputBuffer.

Note:

For In-Sight vision systems running In-Sight 5.1.0 and later firmware, when a job containing this function is loaded, it will automatically be replaced by the WriteResultsBuffer function (the Protocol parameter will be set to Default). For more information, see WriteResultsBuffer.
This function is only available on In-Sight vision systems running In-Sight firmware 4.x.x, and is not available on In-Sight vision systems running In-Sight firmware 5.1.0 and later. For a complete list of models and supported firmware versions, see Firmware Versions.
An In-Sight vision system can act as a server only; it will not initiate a connection to another device.
Only one WriteProfinetBuffer function should be placed in the spreadsheet. Multiple WriteProfinetBuffer functions may overwrite data waiting to be sent in the flash memory buffers.
Jobs containing this function that are saved in In-Sight Explorer 3.3.0 or higher are only compatible with In-Sight Explorer 3.3.0 and higher.
