Function Code 16: Write Registers
There are 21 registers in Function Code 16 that can be used to write to the M2A. This manual only
describes Register 16 because it can be used to reset an alarm condition. For a complete
description of Function Code 16, see “Appendix C: Function Code 16 Registers” on page 64.
Register 16
Register 16 performs the same function as the ENTER button on the M2A. It is useful for
remotely silencing alarms. With the M2A in an alarm condition, bit [0] can be used to silence it.
