Parameter number (PNU)
Bits no. 0-10 are used to transfer parameter num-
bers. The relevant parameter’s function is defined in
the parameter description in the section entitled
Pro-
gramming
.
Index
Index is used together with the parameter number to
read/write-access parameters that have an index,
e.g. parameter 615
Error code
. The index is made
up of 2 bytes, one lowbyte and one highbyte, but
only the lowbyte is used as an index.
Example - Index:
The first error code (index [1]) in parameter 615
Er-
ror code
must be read.
PKE = 1267 Hex (read parameter 615
Error code
.)
IND = 0001 Hex - Index no. 1.
The frequency converter will respond in the parame-
ter value block (PWE) with a fault code value from 1
- 99. See
Summary of Warnings and Alarms
to
identify the fault code.
Parameter value (PWE)
The parameter value block consists of 2 words (4
bytes), and the value depends on the defined com-
mand (AK). If the master prompts for a parameter
value, the PWE block does not contain a value.
If you wish the master to change a parameter value
(write), the new value is written in the PWE block
and sent to the slave.
If the slave responds to a parameter request (read
command), the present parameter value in the PWE
block is transferred and returned to the master.
If a parameter contains not a numerical value, but
several data options, e.g. parameter 001
Language
where [0] corresponds to
English
, and [3] corre-
sponds to
Danish
, the data value is selected by
entering the value in the PWE block. See
Example -
Selecting a data value
.
Via serial communication it is only possible to read
parameters that have data type 9 (text string). Pa-
rameter 621 - 635
Nameplate data
is data type 9.
For example, in parameter 621
Unit type
it is possi-
ble to read the unit size and mains voltage range.
When a text string is transferred (read) the length of
the telegram is variable, as the texts are of different
lengths. The telegram length is defined in the tele-
gram’s second byte, known as LGE.
To be able to read a text via the PWE block the pa-
rameter command (AK) must be set to ’F’ Hex.
The index character is used to indicate whether it is
a read or write command.
In a read command the index must have the follow-
ing format:
