Semaphores for various PI services 
For use by HMI and PLC 
10 semaphores are provided for each channel. These protect critical functions for the 
HMI/PLC. By setting the semaphore for the corresponding function number, several 
HMI/PLC units can be synchronized with it in cases where a function contains a critical 
section with respect to data to be fetched by the NCK. Semaphores are managed by the 
HMI/PLC. A semaphore value of 1stipulates a Test & Set operation for the semaphore of the 
specified function number. The return value of the PI service represents the result of this 
operation: 
•  Checkback value Done := TRUE: Semaphore has been set, critical function can be called 
•  Checkback value Error := TRUE with state = 3: Semaphore was already set, critical 
function cannot be called at the present time. The operation must be repeated later. 
 
 
 
Note 
On completion of the operation (reading data of this PI service) it is essential that the 
semaphore is enabled again.
