Summary
The table below provides you with an overview of the relationships described above. It shows
in particular the possible values of the output parameters if execution of the instruction is not
complete after a call.
Note
You must evaluate the relevant output parameters in your program after each call

Use of resources
Asynchronous instructions use resources in the CPU during their execution. The resources are
limited depending on the type of CPU and instruction. The CPU can simultaneously process
only a maximum number of asynchronous instruction jobs. The resources are available again
after a job has been processed successfully or with errors.
Example: For the RDREC instruction, an S7-1500 CPU can process up to 20 jobs in parallel.
If the maximum number of concurrent jobs for an instruction is exceeded, the following
occurs:
• The instruction returns the error code 80C3 (lack of resources) in the block parameter
STATUS.
• The CPU stops execution of the job until a resource becomes free again.
Note
Lower
-level asynchronous instructions
Some asynchronous instructions use one or more lower
-level asynchronous instructions for
their processing. This dependence is shown in the tables below.
Please note that each lower
-level instruction typically occupies one resource in the
instruction's resource pool.
