4.12.1 Acyclic Read Mailbox

Function Block: ACCREAD
Trigger Register: AcRead
Description: The ACCREAD mailbox is used to perform an Acyclic Read
request to a PROFIBUS slave device. The input pins SlvAdIn (PROFIBUS slave
address), SlotIn (slot number), IndexIn (index number), and LngthIn (length -
number of bytes associated to acyclic read operation) must be configured before
triggering the mailbox request. The acyclic read response data is copied to the
ReadData output pin. The status information is available in the output pins
(ErrCode, ErrDecode, ExtFault, and FaultInf).
The following illustration shows a sample instance of the Acyclic Read mailbox
function block:
