Short summary

Name	`MQTT_Disconnect`
→POU type	→function
Category	more system blocks, MQTT, block with internal error diagnostic
Graphical interface
Available since	version 2.0.17 (for library `System`) and version 4.5.0 of the →runtime system This block is supported for the built-in PLC and →Raspberry Pi.

Functionality

The block disconnects from a →MQTT broker using the connection handler received earlier by calling the MQTT_Connect block.

The data is transferred by means of an already existing MQTT broker

(see "Preparing/Realizing data transfer via MQTT")
.

Inputs, outputs, return value

	Identifier	→Data type	Description
Inputs:	`ch`	`DINT`	connection handler (as obtained by the MQTT_Connect block)
Outputs:	`rc`	`MQTT_RC`	return code of involved MQTT functions as specified in data type `MQTT_RC`

Input EN and output ENO are available when →calling the block. See "Execution control: EN, ENO" for information on input EN and output ENO.

See:

"Blocks for safe logic" whether this block is supported for developing safety-relevant applications.
"Highlighting safe logic in the FBD-editor" for the effects when using the block as a block for safe logic .

Internal error diagnostic for block

The block checks the following error cases and – if they occur – the block sets the output ENO of the block to the value FALSE (or an equivalent):

An internal error occurred while sending a notification to the →runtime system .
The functionality of the block could not be executed.

Example for usage within ST-editor
