Command Interface
10.1
Construction
Command interface call-instructions are described as follows:
Command byte and T-bit are always part of the response. The T-bit is necessary
to operate the command interface via a MSC1 connection (PROFIBUS DP V0).
This way the same command of the command interface can be used two twice re-
peatedly, possibly with different parameters.
The execution of a command of the command interface is declined, if the number
of the transferred parameters is too small which means that the command inter-
face in the cyclic channel is too small or the DP V1-telegram is too short.
The commands of the command interface are valid as well for PROFIBUS DP V0
as for PROFIBUS DP V1.
Circuit = 0
If an AS-i gateway with one AS-i master or the master 1 of an AS-i
gateway with 2 masters should be chosen.
Circuit = 1
If master 2 of an AS-i gateway with 2 masters should be chosen.
The commands for reading and writinig exist in two variations. At the first variation
the bits in the slave lists are arranged as usually with Fuchs products:
Data for slave with lower address appear in the lower bits. The second variation is
compatible to Siemens masters: The sequence of the bits in the slave lists bytes
are inverse.
Switching between the two variations can be done with bit 2
6
in byte 2 of the re-
quest. If it is deleted, the Fuchs arrangement is selected, otherwise the
Siemens compatible arrangement is selected.
