32-bit data is stored in binary as follows:

In this example, the Parameter 10 - [Elapsed Run Time] value of 6553.9 Hrs
is read as “6553.9” in Datalink A1 Out and Datalink A2 Out.

Conversion Example:

Parameter 010 - [Elapsed Run Time] = 6553.9 Hrs
MSW = 0001

hex

= 0001

binary

= 65536

LSW = 0003

hex

=3

Engineering Value = 65536 + 3 = 65539
Parameter 10 Displayed Value = 6553.9 Hrs

Regardless of the Datalink combination, Datalink x1 Out will always
contain the LSW and Datalink x2 Out will always contain the MSW. In the
following example, the PowerFlex 70 drive Parameter 242 - [Power Up
Marker] contains a value of 88.4541 hours.

Conversion Example:

Parameter 242 - [Power Up Marker] = 88.4541 hours
MSW = 000D

LSW = 7F3D

Engineering Value = 851968 + 32573 = 884541
Parameter 242 Displayed Value = 88.4541 Hrs

Configuring Datalinks

Configuring Datalinks from the drive side is a two-step process:

1. Configure the datalink parameters in the drive. For example, in a

PowerFlex 70 or 700 drive, set Parameters 300 - [Data In A1] to 317 -
[Data Out D2]
to “point” to the parameters to be accessed. For
instance, to read drive Parameter 1 - [Output Freq], set Parameter
310 - [Data Out A1]
to “1.”

2. Enable the desired Datalinks in Parameter 16 - [DPI I/O Cfg] in the

adapter. This tells the adapter to transfer Datalink data to and from the
drive. For example, to enable Datalink A1, set bit 1 to “1.” For details,
refer to
