Figure 6.67 Read Parameter Message Configuration Screens

The following table identifies the data that is required in each box to
configure a message to read a single parameter.

Read Parameter

3 (Dec.)

Controller port to which the network is connected.

Used to access the Parameter Object in the adapter.

An unused controller data table address containing the message

instruction. This address is the starting word of the destination file.

Number of bytes to be transferred. Each byte size is an 8-bit integer.

An unused routing information file for the controller.

Code for the requested service.

Instance number is the same as the parameter number.

IP address of the adapter connected to the drive.

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)

Only drive parameters (Port 0) can be read using Parameter Object Class code 0x0F. To read a parameter of a peripheral in another

port, use DPI Parameter Object Class code 0x93 (see

page 6-60

).

(3)

In this example, Output Current is a 32-bit integer parameter requiring the Size in Bytes field to be set to ‘4’. If the parameter being

read is a 16-bit integer, the Size in Bytes must be set to ‘2’. When using a PowerFlex 700S or PowerFlex 750-Series drive, Output

Current is a floating point number requiring the Size in Bytes to be set to ‘4’. See the drive documentation to determine the size of

the parameter and its data type (16-bit or 32-bit integer or REAL).
