ASI slave diagnostics

We use a DP/AS-Interface link 20E. This block converts the ASI network to profibus I/O. I need something to indicate an ASI slave is not working. On the Siemens site I found some information about FB125/FC125? Does anybody know how to incorperate this into the S7 software?

My goal is to make a message on the HMI when ASI slaves are in error. On the site below I found exactly what I need. Unfortunately the download sites are not working.

Can anybody help me?

Hi Werner,
As far as i know there is only FC7 (ASI3422) to use with CP342-2/CP343-2 to indicate slave condition. You can get it from siemens. Basically there is a send and recieve area,ok,nok and status code. i send 19hex in the send area (Read total configuration)
and then recieve the slave configuration to a DB.
We are in the process of replacing Link 20's with CP's due to reliabilty issues, Even link 20E i find a pain in the A**e to set up.

i have used FB125 before for Profibus slaves but never ASI stuff so i'd be interested also.

I have the example project you need but i'm not at work today, So if someone hasnt already supplied it ill email it to you.

Thanks, looking forward to your e-mail.

Hi Werner,
Had a thought and checked an old backup disc, FB125 hopefully attached. I have another project with different HMI's using FB125, But you'll have to give me your email as it's quite big!
