Meaning of the error codes for DB backup to flash

FAQ #101284

With the function codes SYSRD K 3000 or K 3100 it is possible to read the flash status (to check whether the flash is ready for backing up extension memory to flash).

Not all return values are mentioned in the manual versions until version 9.

 

Read Flash Status

Reads the Flash status and stores it in the ACCU and a Register with a SYSRD

SYSRD  K 3000  ;for PCD with FlashCard
  K 3100 ;for PCD Onboard Flash (PCD3 and PCD2.M5) 


Result

  • If the ACCU is set Low and the return value in the register is 0 --> OK
  • If the return value in the register is not 0 --> please refer to the list of status bits below for the reason why the flash can not be used.
  • If the ACCU is set High  --> if the Flash is busy and SYSWR was not executed.

The Error Flag is set if there is an error. See status bits for details. The destination register contains the status bits (description below)
