FUNCTION\_BLOCK KNX\_Read\_DPT\_13x EXTENDS SlaveBasic

#### Overview

Read function for DPT 13.x (4-byte signed value).

#### Inputs

| Inputs             | Initial value | Description                               |
| ------------------ | ------------- | ----------------------------------------- |
| `xRequest`         | *FALSE*       | Trigger for one-time read                 |
| `xRequestVisu`     | *FALSE*       | Trigger for one-time read (visualization) |
| `tRequestTime`     | *T#0S*        | Interval for cyclical reading             |
| `eDPT_Format`      | -             | DPT 13.x format selection                 |
| `byAdrGroup`       | *0*           | Group address (0-255)                     |
| `byAdrMiddleGroup` | *0*           | Middle group address (0-7)                |
| `byAdrMainGroup`   | *0*           | Main group address (0-31)                 |
| `diInitValue`      | *0*           | Initial value at `InitOption.InitValue`   |
| `eInitOption`      | -             | Initialization option                     |

#### Outputs

* `diValue` (DINT): Received integer value
* `rValue` (REAL): Received floating point value
* `rFactor` (REAL): Scaling factor
* `sUnit` (STRING\[10]): Unit of the value
* `tNextRequest` (TIME): Time until the next read operation

#### Usage

1. Select the DPT 13.x format with `eDPT_Format`.
2. Configure the read options:
   * For cyclical reading: `tRequestTime` > T#0S
   * For event-based reading: use `xRequest` or `xRequestVisu`
3. Set `eInitOption` and if applicable, `diInitValue` for initialization.
4. Monitor `diValue` or `rValue` for received values and `sUnit` for the unit.
