Diagnostic Data of Fail-Safe Modules 
A
A.1  Einleitung 
Introduction 
This appendix describes the structure of diagnostic data in the system data. You need to 
know this structure if you want to evaluate diagnostic data of fail-safe modules in the 
standard user program. 
Further Reading 
The 
System and Standard Functions 
reference manual describes in detail the principles of 
evaluating diagnostic data of F-modules in the standard user program and describes the 
SFCs used for this.  
A.2  Structure and Content of Diagnostic Data 
SFCs for Reading out Diagnostic Data 
The following SFCs are available for reading out diagnostic data of fail-safe modules in the 
standard user program: 
Table A- 1  SFCs for Reading out Diagnostic Data 
SFC Number  Identifier  Application 
59  RD_REC  Reading out data records of S7 diagnostics (saved to the 
data area of the standard user program) 
13  DPNRM_DG  Reading out slave diagnostic data (saved to the data area 
of the standard user program) 
Position in the Diagnostic Message Frame of the Slave Diagnostics 
When fail-safe modules are being used in the ET 200S and a diagnostic interrupt occurs, 
data records 0 and 1 are entered in the slave diagnostics of the ET 200 (= interrupt section). 
The position of the interrupt section in the slave diagnostic data depends on the structure of 
the diagnostic message frame and on the length of the channel-specific diagnostics. 
A detailed description of the structure of the diagnostic message frame and the position of 
the interrupt section in accordance with the PROFIBUS standard is available in the 
"Commissioning and Diagnostics" chapter of the 
ET 200S Distributed I/O System
 operating 
instructions.
