4.3.1 Non-cyclic data
PROFIBUS principally has a slot and an address when accessing non-
cyclical data. Both are 8 bit values.
The index covers the number range from 0
– 255.
The slot supports the values 0, 1 and 2.
The addressing of the non-cyclical data can be carried out in 2 different ways.
4.3.2 Direct access
Slots 1 and 2 are used for direct access.
The number of the parameter to be read or written is composed of the slot
number and the transmitted index of the non-cyclical access.
Slot no. 1 addresses the parameters 0
– 255 through the index.
Slot no. 2 addresses the parameters 256
– 511 through the index.
INFORMATION
The Siemens S7 PROFIBUS master offers the functional
components SFB 52 and SFB 53 for direct access.
