Rockwell Automation 22-COMM-P PowerFlex Profibus Adapter - Manual (Page 57)

Using the Parameter Messaging 6-3
This protocol uses 4 words in the Profibus I/O area. Requests and
responses are a handshake procedure and cannot be batched, meaning
that if the master sends a request, it has to wait for the response before
sending a new request.
With this protocol you can:
• Read 8-bit or 16-bit parameters from any DSI port
• Write 8-bit or 16-bit parameters to any DSI port
• Read the Adapter Fault Code
• Read Events
• Read Diagnostic Items
