Device Asset Management Function Blocks

Asset Management Data supplements the data of the System avatar and the individual Device, Load, and Application avatars. Asset Management Data of the island devices can be accessed through the Device Asset Management function blocks. For each type of device, an individual function block has been created. Starters and SILSafety Integrity Level according to standard IEC 61508.* Starters share a common implementation, as do Digital and Analog I/O modules. These function blocks can be found in the folders “DP_Devices” and “PN_Devices”. The function blocks must be instantiated for each device that the Asset Management data is retrieved for.

Device Asset Management function blocks only use acyclic read requests.
