Parameter Declaration Data Type Memory Area Description
RD OUTPUT ANY I, Q, M, D Reference to the receive area (receive data
area). The following data types are

TIME,S5_TIME, DATE_AND_TIME
and arrays of these data types except for

The receive area RD must be at least as
long as the data are
read VAR_ADDR at the communication
partner. The data
types of RD and VAR_ADDR must also
match.
The maximum length of the receive area is
76 bytes.
Changing to the STOP Mode
If the CPU changes to the STOP mode, the connection established by SFC 67
"X_GET" is terminated. Whether or not the received data located in a buffer of the
operating system are lost depends on the type of restart performed:
Following a hot restart (not on the S7-300 and the S7-400H) the data are copied
to the area defined by RD.
Following a warm or cold restart, the data are discarded.
Communication Partner Changes to the STOP Mode
If the CPU of the communication partner changes to the STOP mode, this does not
affect the data transfer with SFC 67 "X_GET." The data can also be read with the
partner in the STOP mode.
Data Consistency
The data are received in a consistent state.
