FUNCTION_BLOCK DM_CLT2

Hover on a highlighted element
to pop up its description.

The operation of an instance of this Service Interface Function Block (SIFB) type is the same as that of the DM_CLT SIFB type. However, its RQST output and RESP input are of types MGT_REQ and MGT_RSP, respectively, which lend themselves to more efficient encodings than the STRING -encoded XML RQST output and RESP input of the DM_CLT type. Additionally, the USTRING type of this SIFB type's DST output provides just as efficient an encoding for the 7-bit US-ASCII character set as the STRING type of the corresponding output of the DM_CLT type, while retaining the ability to encode multi-byte character sets.

An instance of this type is automatically substituted for an instance of the DM_CLT type as the MGR block of a PRXY_RES resource when the MGR_ID of the associated remote Device specifies the fbmgt2 encoding scheme, e.g., MGR_ID := "fbmgt2://192.168.2.1:61499".
