Read_As-I_Slave_Parameter_String - Siemens DP/AS-Interface Link 20E Manual

Read_AS-i_Slave_Parameter_String

Purpose
With this call, a parameter string complying with AS-i slave profile 7.4 can be read
from the AS-i slave with the AS-i slave address specified in the send buffer.
The AS-i master supplies up to 221 bytes of response data. The number of
parameter bytes actually sent by the AS-i slave is signaled by the AS-I master in
byte 0 of the receive buffer (number of parameter bytes).
If the AS-i slave sends a string longer than 220 bytes, the AS-i master aborts the
string transfer and terminates the job with an error. The received data are then not
made available to the user program.
As long as the string transfer is active, there is no user/analog data exchange with
the addressed AS-i slave.
