8.5.5 Function code 16 (Hex 10)
REQUEST
This is used to write values to multiple registers. The bytes after the 7-byte prefi x described in
section 8.5
,
above are:
Function code (10) (1 byte)
Register Start address (2 bytes)
Word count (Total number of registers to be written) (1 to 100 decimal; 1 to 64 hex) (2 bytes)
Byte count (B) ( 2 x word count) (1 byte)
Values to be written (2B bytes).
Thus to write ”Batch Number” as batch fi eld 1 for group 1 (start address A57F), the following message
(expanded in fi gure 8.5.5a) would be transmitted to the recorder:
0000000000150110A57F00070E4261746368204E756D6265720000

RESPONSE
The response message (detailed in fi gure 8.5.5b) after the 7-byte prefi x described in
section 8.5
, above is:
Function code 10 (1 byte)
Start address (2 bytes)
Word count (2 bytes)
Thus, the response to the above batch fi eld request would be:
0000000000060110A57F0007

EXCEPTION RESPONSES
Byte 0 = Function code 90 (hex) (i.e. Hex (80 + function code))
Byte 1 = Exception code 01 (Illegal function) or 02 (Invalid data address)
Note: Function code 16 can be used to write multiple registers into the indirection table area, for
example, by writing the base register address of a 32-bit channel value (e.g. channel 3 - start ad-
dress: F994) into location D18B.
