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".
