This
composite function block type is an acceptor for an adapter
connection of type TEST_ADP, that
is, it contains a socket of type TEST_ADP. It contains
GUI (graphic user interface) elements that enable it to function as a
client for the testing of the adapter connection. Additional
event and data inputs (REQ_EVT WITH QI) and outputs (CNF_EVT
WITH QO) are provided to illustrate a separate event/data
"pass-through" functionality, independent of the plug interface.
See the TEST_ADP_SYS
configuration for an example of the use of an instance of this type.
An instance of this type can be
launched in a test window with the Run button of the FBDK, with the results
shown below.

1. The initial situation. | 2. The INIT event creates the GUI elements. | 3. Entering data and clicking REQ has no effect, since there is no socket to receive this event and data. | 4. Changing the state of QI and clicking REQ_EVT passes the value through to QO, independent of the plug interface. |
