SLC 500 Controller – Formatting a Message to Write Multiple Parameters Using
Generic Get/Set Attribute Service

Figure 6.60 Custom Scattered Write Multiple Message Configuration Screens

The following table identifies the data that is required in each box to
configure a message to write multiple parameters.

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 writing to five parameters. Each parameter being written to requires three contiguous 16-bit words. Scattered

write messages always assume that every parameter being written to 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.
