Alarms
Alarms can be read acyclically through the PROFINET IO alarms infrastructure. Once an
error occurs on any Flexi Soft module, the PROFINET IO gateway raises the appropriate
diagnostic alarm to the network. This will trigger the fault LED on the PLC, and make the
specifics (text and help) of the diagnostic alarm available through the SIMATIC PLC inter-
face. The RALRM function block (SFB54) in OB82 (the diagnostic interrupt) allows the user
to retrieve specifics on the alarm raised within the PLC program itself.
All alarms are output to module 0.
The subslot number indicates the Flexi Soft module that has caused the alarm.
Number 0 = CPU, 1 = 1
st
XT module, 2 = 2
nd
XT module … 13 = 1
st

14 = 2
nd
gateway.
The reason for the alarm is being identified by an error text message from the GSDML
file. Up to 32 different error messages per Flexi Soft module type are possible.
For the possible causes for an alarm please refer to Tab. 71.
The same diagnostic information is available through a record read to data set 3.
