Acyclic Receive 
Description 
In addition to "Cyclic Receive", it is possible to transfer further data acyclically to 
SIMOCODE pro via PROFIBUS DP. With the "Acyclic receive" function block, you can 
specify which acyclic information from the PROFIBUS DP will be further processed in 
SIMOCODE pro. With the "Acyclic receive" function block, you can specify which information 
will be further processed in SIMOCODE pro. 
The "Acyclic receive" function blocks consist of:  
●  Eight bits each (byte 0 and byte 1 for binary information) 
●  One word (= two bytes, byte 2 to 3 for an analog value, freely parameterizable). 
Overall there are three "Acyclic receive" function blocks (0, 1, 2/3) 
The following schematic shows the "Acyclic receive" function blocks:

Acyclic data are transferred only on request. 
The information (4 bytes) can be found in data record 202. This data record can be written 
by every master (PLC or PC) that supports the acyclic services of PROFIBUS DPV1. 
Connection monitoring is activated every time the data record is received. The content of the 
data record is deleted after a 5-second time-out has elapsed.
