Appendix; A.1 Information About Upgrading To A Cpu 31Xc Or Cpu 31X - Siemens Simatic S7-300 Technical Data Manual

• SFC 13 "DPNRM_DG"
SFC 20 "BLKMOV"
In the past, this SFC could be used with CPUs 312 IFM to 318-2 DP to copy data from a non
runtime-related DB.
SFC 20 no longer has this functionality with CPUs 31xC/31x. SFC83 "READ_DBL" is now
used instead.
SFC 54 "RD_DPARM"
This SFC is no longer available on CPUs 31xC/31x. Use SFC 102 "RD_DPARA" instead,
which works asynchronously.

Manual, Edition 08/2004, A5E00105475-05
Note
If you are using SFC 56 "WR_DPARM" or SFC 57 "PARM_MOD", you should always
evaluate the SFC's BUSY bit.
On CPUs 312 IFM to 318-2 DP, this SFC always works "quasi synchronously" when it is
called in OB82. On CPUs 31xC/31x it generally works asynchronously.
Note
In the user program, the job should merely be started in OB 82. The data should be
evaluated in the cyclical program, taking account of the BUSY bits and the value returned
in RET_VAL.
Hint
If you are using a CPU 31xC/31x, we recommend that you use SFB 54, rather than SFC
13 "DPNRM_DG".
