32-Bit Parameters using 16-Bit Datalinks
To read (and/or write) a 32-bit parameter using 16-bit Datalinks,
typically both Datalinks (A,B,C,D) are set to the 32-bit parameter. For
example, to read
Parameter 09 - [Elapsed MWh] in a PowerFlex 70,
both Datalink A1 and A2 are set to “9.” Datalink A1 will contain the
least significant word (LSW) and Datalink A2 the most significant word
(MSW). In this example, the parameter 9 value of 5.8MWh is read as a
“58” in Datalink A1.
Regardless of the Datalink combination, x1 will always contain the LSW
and x2 will always contain the MSW. In the following examples
Parameter 242 - [Power Up Marker] contains a value of 88.4541
hours.
32-bit data is stored in binary as follows:
Example:
Parameter 242 - [Power Up Marker] = 88.4541 hours
