6. Notes for Inputs and Outputs
T_AmsNetId: STRING(23)
The variable contains the AMS network identifier of the target device to which the ADS command is
directed. The string consists of six numerical fields, separated by dots. Each numerical field contains
a number between 1 and 254. Valid AMS network addresses are, for example, “1.1.1.2.7.1” or
“200.5.7.170.1.7”. See following image for the location of the NetId of an example system. If an
empty string is passed, the AMS network identifier of the local device will be attempted to be
automatically assumed. In most cases, an empty string will not allow the function block to operate
properly.
