command and data are 16 bit unsigned integers that are in big endian format.
Current commands are:
Command
Action
0 (0x0000)
Do Nothing
21 (0x0015)
Change P in PID loop
22 (0x0016)
Change D in PID loop
23 (0x0017)
Change I in PID loop
46 (0x002E)
Change Gas Select
65 (0x0041)
Change Power Up Set-point Configuration
Note: Command values not listed in the above table are reserved for factory
use only and can cause undesired effects if utilized.
For the data bytes the following are valid:

Configuration
Description of power up set-point configuration bits:
Valid Values
Meaning
0 (0x0000)
Unit will go to zero set-point at power up or loss of
Profibus communication.
Also the unit will respond to set-points given over the
Profibus
32768 (0x8000)
Unit will maintain last set-point saved to
nonvolatile memory at power up or loss of Profibus
communication (see section 4.3.2.2 Control
Register)
49152 (0xC000)
Same as 32768 with the addition that unit will ignore
