Read Parameters with MC_ReadParameter
MC_ReadParameter is used to read a specific parameter of the selected axis. Value will be constantly updated while the Enable input is true. The ParameterNumber input value can be changed to read another parameter while the function block is enabled.
-
LS_Connect must be executed before this function block can be used.

The examples in this topic can be found in the XMC_SingleAxis_FBs.zip downloadable from Example Applications.
