FUNCTION\_BLOCK KNX\_Read\_DPT\_6x EXTENDS SlaveBasic

#### Overview

Read function for DPT 6.x (8-bit signed).

#### 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 6.x format selection                |
| `byAdrGroup`       | *0*           | Group address (0-255)                   |
| `byAdrMiddleGroup` | *0*           | Middle group address (0-7)              |
| `byAdrMainGroup`   | *0*           | Main group address (0-31)               |
| `iInitValue`       | *0*           | Initial value at `InitOption.InitValue` |
| `eInitOption`      | -             | Initialization option                   |

#### Outputs

* `iValue` (INT): Received integer value
* `sUnit` (STRING\[10]): Unit of the value
* `xStatus_A` to `xStatus_E` (BOOL): Status bits (only for DPT 6.020)
* `xMode_0` to `xMode_2` (BOOL): Mode bits (only for DPT 6.020)
* `tNextRequest` (TIME): Time until next read operation

#### Usage

1. Select the DPT 6.x format with `eDPT_Format`.
2. Configure the read options as with the previous blocks.
3. Monitor `iValue` for received values and `sUnit` for the unit.
4. For DPT 6.020: Note the additional status and mode bits.
