5 ACCESSING ALL LONWORKS FUNCTION BLOCK DATA
The Quickstart example is for accessing only LonWorks Data in Functional blocks:
In[0] and Out[0]
5.1 Input Data from Function Blocks In[1] to In[24]
To access Input Data Blocks In[1] up to In[24] simply add to the existing ladder program as shown in the Quickstart
example.

Add a branch after the CPS element that copies the input image Tag and copy and paste EQU and CPS
elements from the first rung.

Create a new Input Tag for Lon_In_02 of type REAL and dimension 76.

Finally, remember to set the EQU Source B value to 2 to compare for incoming data from the 2
nd
LonWorks functional block which is In[1].
See the ladder program below how to add In[1].
Very Important Note!
To ensure that the input data is from a specific LonWorks Function Block, make a synchronous copy of the input
image data before using it.
5.2 Output Data from Function Blocks Out[1] to Out[24]
To access more output blocks it is necessary to create a Multiplexer in Ladder. The Flash Drive supplied with the
product includes an ACD file with an example of multiplexing use.
The basic steps are:

Create a Counter which counts up every 100ms.

Place the counter value into the Lon_Out_xx Tag at offset 2.

Copy the whole Tag into the output Data Image Tag for transferring to the LonWorks network.
