Additional information about converting values
to ASCII characters
If, for example, you want to convert the fault code (= display code, input register 60)
into ASCII characters, please proceed as follows:
1.
Read the integer value from register 60.
2.
Convert the integer into the binary format as described in chapter "Supple-
mentary information for setting or reading single bits in a Modbus controller".
3.
Now split the binary format into the single bytes (= 8 bit). Each byte corre-
sponds to one letter. 4.
4.
Now convert each byte back into an integer.
5.
Look in an ASCII-Table
2
which letter is represented by the respective integer
Example:
You read the integer 12880 from the input register register 60 (fault code / display
code).
1.
Convert the integer to binary format:
0011001001010000
b
2.
Now divide the binary number into bytes:
00110010
b
, 01010000
b
3.
Now convert the single bytes to decimal:
00110010
b
= 50
d
01010000
b
= 80
d
4.
According to the ASCII table, the numbers can now be converted into char-
acters:
50
d
= „2“
80
d
= „P“
If you read a 12880 from input register 60, this corresponds to the error code "2P". If
you also read a 564 from input register 59 (additional code), for example, this corre-
sponds to the error message "Temperature rise boiler sensor too fast (>70K/min)".
Note: In addition to faults, operation codes are also displayed in the "Fault codes"
register (input register 60).
