FILE_SEEK

Type Function block
Description Moves the current file pointer to a new position.

Assign the valid handle of the file to be processed to the Handle input. This handle is created when the file is opened with the FILE_OPEN function block.
Write the relative offset to be used to move the file pointer to the Position input. Enter the reference to be used to move the pointer at the Mode input (see description of the Mode input).

Activate the function block on a rising edge at the Execute input. Execution of the function block is complete when the Done output is set to 1. If an error occurred during execution, the value at the Error output = 1. ErrorID indicates the number of the cause of the error.
Notes
  • The status of the Done, Error, and ErrorID outputs is maintained until a falling edge is detected at the Execute input.
  • Specifying a position beyond the end of file is possible. If the position is written, the gap between the end of file and the current writing position is filled with zeros.
  • Function blocks have to be instantiated. The instance name of the function block has to be declared in the 'Variables' table of the POU where the FB is going to be used. The instance name must be unique within the POU.
