Addresses used by SRAM
The battery-buffered SRAM uses a 2 MB memory address area that can be read via the PCI
register.
The address area is dynamic and is set by the BIOS during the enumeration. The base
address of the SRAM can obtained either using the resource information of the Device
Manager (device name: Standard RAM Controller) or in the PCI configuration address area
from the device with device ID "110Ah, VendorID 4040h" and Offset "10h"

Accessing addresses of LEDs, watchdog and battery status

SIMATIC PC DiagBase software provides the DMAPI programming interface for this
purpose. It can be found:
●
On the "Documentation & Drivers" DVD in the folder "Drivers\DiagBase\program
files\Siemens\DiagnosticManagement"
●
In the installation directory under
"%ProgramFiles%\Siemens\DiagnosticManagement\DMAPI"
