Notes for the input of parameters with data format 32 bits
The Profibus standard DIN 19245 provides the data format "UNSIGNED32" for the
definition of 32 bits of parameter data in the device master file. This data format isn't
supported by all configuration programs for profibus master. These programs clip the
more significant word of the parameter. In order to allow inputs despite this, these
parameters are split up into single words.
Illogically enough, the input in the input masks also has to be made in decimal form.
This affects the following parameters:
Total measuring range [units]
Revolutions numerator
Preset 1 value
Preset 2 value
In the meantime, we recommend the following procedure for entering measuring
lengths in increments larger than 16 bits:
1. Convert the desired measuring length in increments to a hexadecimal figure using
a calculator and store this figure.
2. Convert only the four less significant tetrads (figures) back to decimal format
separately. This gives you the input 'Total measuring range [units] lo'
3. Convert only the remaining more significant tetrads (figures) back to decimal
format separately. This gives you the input 'Total measuring range [units] hi'
Example:
Total measuring length in increments:
10 500 000 (D)
converted to hexadecimals:
A0 37A0 (H)
results in four less significant tetrads:
37A0 (H)
and remaining more significant tetrads:
A0 (H)
Total measuring range [units] lo:
14240 (D)
(=37A0 (H) !)
Total measuring range [units] hi:
160 (D)
(=A0 (H) !)
