Parameters

idn
Type: System..::..String
String representation of a SERCOS parameter IDN. For example "S-0-0051", "S-0-1050.0.1", "C-0-0484", or "S".
address
Type: System..::..Object
Optional argument for the address instance. Necessary if the address information is not part of the IDN string.
set
Type: System..::..Object
Optional argument for the set information. Necessary if the set information is not part of the IDN string.
block
Type: System..::..Object
Optional argument for the block instance. Necessary if the block information is not part of the IDN string.
si
Type: System..::..Object
Optional argument for the si instance. Necessary if the si information is not part of the IDN string.
se
Type: System..::..Object
Optional argument for the se instance. Necessary if the se information is not part of the IDN string.

Return Value

Type: String
Unit of the given parameter idn

Examples

Synchronous method
 Copy imageCopy
private static void Sample()
{
    using (IEALConnection ealConnection = new EALConnection())    // Creates axis object with synchronous execution method.
    {
        // Connects to the real drive
        ealConnection.Connect("192.168.0.10");;
        // Reads the unit of the S-0-0036 parameter. Read method is always synchronous
        string unit = axis.Parameter.ReadUnit("S", 0, 0, 36, 0, 0);
        // Display unit value
        Console.WriteLine("Unit of S-0-0036 parameter is {0}", unit);
    }
}
Asynchronous method
 Copy imageCopy
private static void Sample()
{
    using (IEALConnection ealConnection = new EALConnection())    // Creates axis object with asynchronous execution method.
    {
        // Connects to the real drive
        ealConnection.Connect("192.168.0.10");;
        // Reads the unit of the S-0-0036 parameter. Read method is always synchronous
        string unit = axis.Parameter.ReadUnit("S", 0, 0, 36, 0, 0);
        // Display unit value
        Console.WriteLine("Unit of S-0-0036 parameter is {0}", unit);
    }
}
