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).

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. Therefore, the Size

in Bytes must be set to 30. The data structure format is the same as shown on

page 6-66

. Maximum length is 66 words (132 bytes),

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).

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.
