Siemens SINUMERIK 828D Function Manual page 1051

Call example:
1. Read double word of position offset 4 with semaphore in byte 0 and store in MD100:
Data type Dword (4 bytes)
Position offset 4
CALL FC 21 (
Enable := M 10.0,
Funct := B#16#3,
S7Var := P#M 100.0 DWORD 1,
IVAR1 := 4,
IVAR2 := 0,
Error := M 10.1,
ErrCode := MW12);
UN M10.1;
R M10.0;
Examples: Examples of NCK programming from synchronized actions:
Data transfer from NC to PLC, with data written via synchronized actions;
Byte 0 serves as the semaphore
ID=1 WHENEVER $A_DBB[0] == 0 DO $A_DBR[4] = $AA_IM[X] $A_DBB[0] = 1
Data transfer from PLC to NC, with data read via synchronized actions;
Byte 1 serves as the Semaphore:
ID=2 WHENEVER $A_DBB[1] == 1 DO $R1 = $A_DBR[12] $A_DBB[1] = 0
