LOG2GEO (Determine the slot from the hardware identifier) instruction
You use the LOG2GEO instruction to determine the geographical address (module slot) from
the logical address belonging to a hardware identifier.

SCL
Description
ret_val := LOG2GEO(
laddr:=_word_in_,
GEOADDR:=_variant_in_out_);
You use the LOG2GEO instruction to
determine the module slot belonging to a
hardware identifier.
The LOG2GEO instruction determines the geographic address of a logical address based
upon the hardware identifier:
● Use the LADDR parameter to select the logical address based upon the hardware
identifier.
● The GEOADDR contains the geographic address of the logical address given at the
LADDR input..
Note
In the cases where the HW type does not support a component, a subslot number for a
module 0 is returned.
An error is provided if the LADDR input does not add
ress a HW object.
