Optimal Method to Retrieve IM153 Hardware Diagnostics Status using Profinet

Question:

Hello, I am currently exploring the most effective method for retrieving rack, card, and channel statuses. I am considering utilizing the RDSYSST function, specifically SZL_ID w#16#694 for rack status and w#16#D91 for card status. However, I am uncertain about which ID to use for obtaining the status of a channel, input, or output of a slot or module. Can you confirm if I am heading in the right direction and do you have any suggestions for identifying channel statuses? Thank you.

What is the purpose of the CPU and how is it used for end-user troubleshooting? The program should be able to automatically respond to errors.

Utilizing TIA Portal's Status feature enables monitoring for rack faults, module faults, and channel faults. These alerts are crucial for programming alarm functionalities and establishing system statuses.

You're definitely on the right track for retrieving the rack and card statuses using the RDSYSST function with SZL_IDs w#16#694 and w#16#D91 respectively. Concerning the status of a channel, it generally depends on the type of module you're working with. For some modules, details on the channel status may be found in specific diagnostic buffer or through an error code. Alternatively, you could read the status byte associated with every channel, or the status word if a more detailed analysis is necessary. Remember, the key lies in knowing the type of module you have, as information for one may not necessarily apply to another.

Hi there! You're indeed on the right track using the RDSYSST function. For rack and card status, SZL_ID w#16#694 and w#16#D91 respectively are definitely right. But to retrieve the status of a channel, you'll possibly need to check the diagnostic buffer or use functions such as RDREC and SGZRD, or depending on what kind of PLC you are using, you might need to dig into its specific system functions. I couldn't give a specific SZL_ID without knowing your PLC type or the nature of the problem. I would advise consulting the documentation of your specific PLC for more detailed info.

It sounds like you're on the right track with using RDSYSST to pull rack and card statuses! For channel statuses, you might want to check out SZL_ID w#16#D94 for input channels and w#16#D95 for output channels. Those IDs should help you get the specific channel status information you're looking for. Just make sure to double-check the documentation for your specific system, as implementations can sometimes vary. Good luck!

It sounds like you’re on the right track with using RDSYSST and the specific SZL_IDs for rack and card status! For channel statuses, you typically want to look at the SZL_ID w#16#606, which corresponds to the channel status in those modules. If you’re looking to differentiate between input and output channels, just ensure you're parsing the data correctly after retrieval, as the structure can vary. Good luck, and let us know how it goes!
