Chapter 9 Monitor Status and Handle Faults
Use GSV/SSV Instructions
Logix controllers store system data in objects rather than in status files. You can
use the Get System Value (GSV) and Set System Value (SSV) instructions to
retrieve and set controller data.
The GSV instruction retrieves the specified information and places it in the
specified destination. The SSV instruction changes the specified attribute with
data from the source of the instruction. When you enter a GSV or SSV
instruction, the programming software displays the object classes, object
names, and attribute names for each instruction.
For standard tasks, you can use the GSV instruction to get values for the
available attributes. When using the SSV instruction, the software displays only
the attributes that you can set.
For the safety task, the GSV and SSV instructions are more restricted. Note
that SSV instructions in safety and standard tasks cannot set bit 0 (major fault
on error) in the mode attribute of a safety I/O device.
For safety objects, the Table 47 shows the attributes that you can get values for
by using the GSV instruction, and the attributes that you can set by using the
SSV instruction, in the safety and standard tasks.
ATTENTION: Use the GSV/SSV instructions carefully. Making changes to
objects can cause unexpected controller operation or injury to personnel.
