Channel-Specific Diagnostics   
As with the ET 200S, there are three bytes available for channel-specific diagnostics, starting 
at byte 35. Up to 9 channel-specific diagnostic messages are possible per station. Channel-
specific diagnostics for fail-safe modules are structured as follows.

Note 
The module slot coding is contained in byte 35, bits 0 to 5. The following applies:  
displayed number + 1 = module slot  
(0 = slot 1; 1 = slot 2, and so forth) 
 
 
Note 
Channel-specific diagnostics data are always updated to the current diagnostic function in 
the diagnostic message frame. Older, successive diagnostic functions are not deleted.  
Remedy: Evaluate the valid, current length of the diagnostic message frame. To do this, use 
the parameter RET_VAL of the SFC 13 in 
STEP 7
