db_buch
The function db_buch checks which DBs exist in the PLC.
For this purpose a buffer of 512 words must be made available (see example).
If the value in buffer [123] is = 0 this means that block DB 123 does not exist in
the PLC.
If there were no errors, the function supplies 0 as the return value otherwise an
error message which can be evaluated in accordance with the error table (see
error_message).
C-Adapter
int db_buch (void * buffer);
