Analyzing an Error Message
 The scan of the BR-bit (binary result) returns RLO=0 for

processing with fault and RLO=1 for fault-free processing.
 Scan of BR for STL with A BR
 Scan in LAD/FBD using the output parameter ENO
 Most of the system functions return an error code with the

following configuration in the output parameter RET_VAL (INT):
 RET_VAL=W#16#8 X Y Z
Error class, error‘s individual number (SFC specific)

or event number (general)
X>0: general error, X= no. of faulty parameter
X=0: SFC specific error occurred
"8" signals: error occurred
 Example:
 W#16#8081 is an SFC specific error code.
 W#16#823A is a general error code; the error was caused by parameter
no. 2.

Exercise: Reading Out Data Record 1 of an Analog Module
Step What to Do Result
Check whether the diagnostic interrupt

1 is enabled on the analog module.
At the end of OB 82 insert a new network.

2
Using the SFC 59, read out the data record

3 1 of the analog module and save this in
DB 59 as of data byte 0.
Test the program by setting a voltage You can analyze additional diagnostic
