CI commands

Caution
Loss of data.

The Command Interpreter (CI) includes commands which
reorganise or delete parts of the memory. Existing data are
thereby destroyed:

It is preferable to use the FCT or the control panel for
commissioning and parameterisation.

Use the CI commands only in special applications which
require direct access to the controller.

Use CI commands only if you already know their effects
and if they are permissible for your MTR-DCI.

Access procedure

The higher-order controller sends the controller either a write
command (WRITE) to modify a parameter in the object direc-
tory, or a read command (READ) to read out a parameter.

For each command the higher-order controller receives a
response which either contains the value read or, in the case
of a write command, serves as an acknowledgement. The
transmitted value (1, 2 or 4 data bytes) depends on the data
type of the object to be read or written.

WRITE (W)

Write commands (W) transfer a value in the specified format
to the MTR-DCI. As a reply, write commands will be reflected
exactly character by character from the controller of the
MTR-DCI. A checksum <PS> will be inserted in front of the <CR>.

READ (R)

Read commands (R) transfer a value from the MTR-DCI. The
reply from the MRE-DCI controller contains the downloaded
value. A checksum <PS> will be inserted in front of the <CR>.

All commands are entered as a character sequence without
any empty spaces. A hex character is a Char character in hex
format.
