FUNCTION\_BLOCK KNX\_Read\_DPT\_14x EXTENDS SlaveBasic

#### Overview

Read function for DPT 14.x (4-byte floating point value).

#### Inputs

| Inputs             | Initial value | Description                             |
| ------------------ | ------------- | --------------------------------------- |
| `xRequest`         | *FALSE*       | Trigger for single read                 |
| `xRequestVisu`     | *FALSE*       | Trigger for single read (visualization) |
| `tRequestTime`     | *T#0S*        | Interval for cyclic reading             |
| `eDPT_Format`      | -             | DPT 14.x format selection               |
| `byAdrGroup`       | *0*           | Group address (0-255)                   |
| `byAdrMiddleGroup` | *0*           | Middle group address (0-7)              |
| `byAdrMainGroup`   | *0*           | Main group address (0-31)               |
| `rInitValue`       | *0.0*         | Initial value at `InitOption.InitValue` |
| `eInitOption`      | -             | Initialization option                   |

#### Outputs

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

#### Usage

1. Select the DPT 14.x format with `eDPT_Format`.
2. Configure the read options:
   * For cyclic reading: `tRequestTime` > T#0S
   * For event-based reading: use `xRequest` or `xRequestVisu`
3. Set `eInitOption` and if applicable, `rInitValue` for the initialization.
4. Monitor `rValue` for received values and `sUnit` for the unit.
