Number

Name

Description

01

DPI Port

The port on the drive to which the adapter is connected. Usually, it is
on Port 5.

02

DPI Data
Rate

The data rate used by DPI in the drive. It is set in the drive, and the
adapter detects it.

04

DF1 Addr Act The node address used by the adapter. This will be one of the

following values:

• The address set by the Node Address switches.

• The value of Parameter 03 - [DF1 Addr Cfg] if the switches

have been disabled.

• In order for either of the above to take effect, the adapter has to

be reset or power cycled.

06

DF1 Rate Act The data rate used by the adapter. This will be one of the following

values:

• The data rate set by the Data Rate switch.

• The value of Parameter 05 - [DF1 Rate Cfg] if the switches

have been disabled.

• In order for either of the above to take effect, the adapter has to

be reset or power cycled.

07

Ref/Fdbk Size The size of the Reference/Feedback (16 bits or 32 bits). It is set in

the drive and the adapter automatically uses the correct size.

08

Datalink Size The size of the Datalinks (16 bits or 32 bits). It is set in the drive and

the adapter automatically uses the correct size.

11

Active Cfg

Source from which the adapter node address and data rate are
taken. This will be either switches on the adapter or parameters in
EEPROM. It is determined by the settings of the switches on the
adapter.

13

DPI I/O Act

The I/O used by the adapter. This value is the same as
Parameter 13 - [DPI I/O Config] unless the parameter was
changed and the adapter was not reset.

Bit Definitions
0 = Cmd/Ref
1 = Datalink A
2 = Datalink B
3 = Datalink C
4 = Datalink D
5 = Not Used
6 = Not Used
7 = Not Used

25

CRC/BCC Act Actual Checksum or CRC selection.

26

Dup Msg
Detect

Determines if the adapter ignores messages with duplicate TNS
IDs. Normally set to Enable (default). Set to Disable if using a
ProSoft 3150-DFM module or any device which does not increment
the TNS ID.
