S7-1200 Clear Ethernet Buffer

Hello,


I am using an S7-1200 with a Moxa N5250A to read data from a weigh scale, but occasionally the scale will send a couple of frames of data after I cancel the weight reading.

Is there any way to clear the Ethernet buffer, or do I just have to let the receive block complete to empty the data?


Thanks,




Jon

You can use block_move to zero buffer or copy data only from buffer if read was succesful.

Thanks for the reply. I already only do certain actions when the TRCV_C block .DONE output is activated, as I need to extract the weight from the CHAR array by converting it to a string etc.


I'll just leave the TRCV block enabled continuously and ignore any unwanted data.
