SLC 500 Controller – Formatting a Message to Read Multiple Parameters Using
Generic Get/Set Attribute Service
Figure 6.53 Custom Scattered Read Message Configuration Screens
The following table identifies the data that is required in each box to
configure a message to read multiple parameters.

Number of words to be transferred. Each word size is a 16-bit integer.
An unused controller data table address containing the message
instruction. This address is the starting word of the destination file.

Class ID for the DPI Parameter Object.

MultiHop Tab Example Value Description
To Address 10.91.100.79 IP address of the adapter connected to the drive.
(1) The default setting for Service is ‘Custom’, enabling entry of a Service Code not available from the Service pull-down menu. When
choosing a Service other than ‘Custom’ from the pull-down menu, an appropriate Hex. value is automatically assigned to the Service
Code box which is dimmed (unavailable).
(2) In this example, we are reading five parameters. Each parameter being read requires three contiguous 16-bit words. Scattered read
messages always assume that every parameter being read is a 32-bit integer, regardless of its actual data type. The data structure
format is the same as shown on page 6-42 . Maximum length is 66 words, which equates to 22 parameters. For parameter numbering,
see DPI Parameter Object on page C-16 (Class code 0x93) or Host DPI Parameter Object on page C-30 (Class code 0x9F).
(3) See Table 6.A on page 6-2 for limitations of PowerFlex 7-Class and PowerFlex 750-Series drives when using DPI Parameter Object
Class code 0x93 or Host DPI Parameter Object Class code 0x9F for explicit messaging.
