13.3 Reading a System Status List or Partial List with

SFC 51 "RDSYSST"

Description
With system function SFC 51 "RDSYSST" (read system status), you read a system
status list or a partial system status list.
You start the reading by assigning the value 1 to the input parameter REQ when
SFC 51 is called. If the system status could be read immediately, the SFC returns
the value 0 at the BUSY output parameter. If BUSY has the value 1, the read
function is not yet completed.

Note
If you call SFC 51 "RDSYSST" in the diagnostic interrupt OB with the SSL-ID
W#16#00B1 or W#16#00B2 or W#16#00B3 and access the module that initiated
the diagnostic interrupt, the system status is read immediately.
With SFC 51 "RDSYSST" only complete data records are transferred.

System Resources
If you start several asynchronous read functions (the jobs with SSL_ID
W#16#00B4 and W#16#4C91 and W#16#4092 and W#16#4292 and W#16#4692
and possibly W#16#00B1 and W#16#00B3) one after the other at brief intervals,
the operating system ensures that all the read jobs are executed and that they do
not interfere with each other. If the limits of the system resources are reached, this
is indicated in RET_VAL. You can remedy this temporary error situation by
repeating the job.
The maximum number of "simultaneously" active SFC 51 jobs depends on the
CPU. You will find this information in /70/ and /101/.

Parameter Declaration Data Type Memory Area Description

REQ INPUT BOOL I, Q, M, D, L, REQ=1: Starts processing
constant
SSL_ID INPUT WORD I, Q, M, D, L, SSL-ID of the system status list or
constant partial list to be read.
INDEX INPUT WORD I, Q, M, D, L, Type or number of an object in a
constant partial list.
RET_VAL OUTPUT INT I, Q, M, D, L If an error occurs while executing the
SFC, the RET_VAL parameter
contains an error code.
BUSY OUTPUT BOOL I, Q, M, D, L TRUE: Reading not yet completed.
SSL_HEADER OUTPUT STRUCT D, L See below.
DR OUTPUT ANY I, Q, M, L, D Destination area of the SSL list read
or the SSL partial list read:
x If you have only read out the header
information of an SSL list,
you must not evaluate DR but
only SSL_HEADER.
x Otherwise, the product of
LENTHDR and N_DR indicates
how many bytes were entered in DR.

SSL_HEADER
The SSL_HEADER parameter is a structure defined as follows:
SSL_HEADER: STRUCT
LENTHDR: WORD
N_DR: WORD
END_STRUCT
LENTHDR is the length of a data record of the SSL list or the SSL partial list.
x If you have only read out the header information of an SSL list, N_DR contains
the number of data records belonging to it.
x Otherwise, N_DR contains the number of data records transferred to the
destination area.

Error Information

Error Code Description

(W#16#...)
0000 No error.
0081 Result field too short. (Nevertheless as many data records as possible are supplied. The
SSL header indicates this number.)
7000 First call with REQ=0: No data transfer active; BUSY has the value 0.
7001 First call with REQ=1: Data transfer started; BUSY has the value 1.
7002 Interim call (REQ irrelevant): Data transfer already active; BUSY has the value 1.
8081 Result field too short (not enough space for one data record).
8082 SSL_ID is wrong or is unknown in the CPU or SFC.
8083 INDEX wrong or not permitted.
8085 Due to a problem in the system, information is not currently available (for example, due
to a lack of resources).
8086 The data record cannot be read due to a system error (bus, modules, operating system).
8087 Data record cannot be read because the module does not exist or does not acknowledge.
8088 Data record cannot be read because the actual module identifier is different from the
expected module identifier.
8089 Data record cannot be read because the module is not capable of diagnostics or the data
record is not supported.
80A2 DP protocol error (layer 2 error) (temporary error)
80A3 DP protocol error with user interface/user (temporary error)
80A4 Communication problem on communication bus (error occurs between the CPU and the
external DP interface module)
80C5 Distributed I/Os not available (temporary error).
80C6 Data record transfer stopped due to priority class abort (restart or background)
80D2 Data record cannot be read because the module is not capable of diagnostics.
8xyy General error information, see Evaluating Errors with Output Parameter RET_VAL
