Chapter 6. Service Request Function
GFK-2950C February 2018 277
6.1.2 Function Block Diagram
The SVC_REQ function requests the CPU to perform the special service
identified by the FNC operand.
Parameters for SVC_REQ are located in the parameter block, which begins at
the reference identified by the PRM operand. The number of 16-bit references
required depends on the type of special controller service being requested.
The parameter block is used to store both the function's inputs and outputs.
Operands
Note: Indirect referencing is available for all register references (%R, %P, %L, %W, %AI, and %AQ).

FNC
Function number; Service Request
number. The constant or variable that
identifies the requested service.
INT, DINT, UINT,
WORD, DWORD
All except %S - %SC
You can use data flow only if the
parameter block requires only one
WORD
If you use a symbolic variable or an
I/O variable, ensure that its Array
Dimension 1 property is set to a
value large enough to contain the
entire parameter block.
No
PRM
The first word in the parameter block
for the requested service. Successive
16-bit locations store additional
parameters.
INT, DINT, UINT,
WORD, DWORD
All except flow, %S - %SC and
constant
No
ENO
Set to ON unless an incorrect
function number, incorrect
parameters, or out-of-range
references are specified. Specific
SVC_REQ functions may have
additional causes for failure.
BOOL
data flow, I, Q, M, T, G, non-discrete
symbolic, I/O variable
Yes
Bit reference in a
non-BOOL
variable.
