how to get Task Information

[Anonymous user]

Dear All

i'm new to schneider, my previous system was simotion.

In the old system there was a function called _getCurrentTaskName() it return the name of the task as a string.

is there something similar and may i ask a code example?

i suppose there is a library to use but i don't know wich one....

I'm using a PacDrive 3 LMC400c whit SoMachine v4.41 (v4.4 SP1)

thanks in advance

Hi all

i want to sharee the way i found to get the task information:

(*********************************************************************************)

FUNCTION device_get_task_info : BOOL

VAR_IN_OUT
task : device_task; (*this is a struct were the information are stored*)
END_VAR

VAR
myInfo : POINTER TO Task_Info2;
tResult : DWORD;
tResult2 : DWORD;
END_VAR

(*********************************************************************************)
myInfo := IecTaskGetInfo3(
                              hIecTask := IecTaskGetCurrent(pResult:= tResult)
                              ,pResult:= tResult2
                              );

task.cycle_time := myInfo^.dwInterval;
task.last_cycle := myInfo^.dwCycleTime;
task.max_duration := myInfo^.dwMaxCycleTime;
task.min_duration := myInfo^.dwMinCycleTime;
task.average_duration := myInfo^.dwAverageCycleTime;
task.name := myInfo^.pszName^;
task.priority := myInfo^.nPriority;
task.watchdog := myInfo^.bWatchdog;

(**********************************************************************************
TaskCyclic INT 16#0
TaskEvent INT 16#1
TaskExternal INT 16#2
TaskFreewheeling INT 16#3
**********************************************************************************)

CASE myInfo^.KindOfTask OF
0: task.task_type := TASK_TYPE_CYCLIC;
1: task.task_type := TASK_TYPE_EVENT;
2: task.task_type := TASK_TYPE_EXTERNAL;
3: task.task_type := TASK_TYPE_FREEWHEELING;
END_CASE;
