As200_Z_Field_Read - Siemens SIMATIC S7 Operating Instructions Manual

SIEMENS AG

as200_z_field_read

The function as200_z _field_read reads "amount" of counter values from the
data area of the PLC starting from "no" and stores the read values in a variable
field of the PG/PC.
Attention!
3 bytes are received per counter value, and only 2 bytes contain the requested
value (see example)
If there were no errors, the function supplies a 0 as the return value, otherwise
an error number which can be evaluated in accordance with the error table (see
error_message).
C-Adapter
int as200_z_field_read (int no,int amount,void*buffer);
Example:
Counter values 3 and 4 are read and saved in "Z3" and "Z4".
