The structure of the parameter channel is described in the table below.
The parameter channel (called PKW Interface hereinafter) consists of 8 bytes.

PWE
The PKW Interface allows reading and writing of slave parameters with a maximum
data length of 4 bytes. Strings cannot be read.
The slave generates exactly one response per instruction transmitted by the mas-
ter. The instruction and response cannot be blocked. This means that exactly one
instruction per output telegram can be transmitted to the slave and that exactly one
response per input telegram can be transmitted to the master. 4 bytes of actual
data can thus be transmitted at a time.
The instruction and response are represented in the first two bytes (PKE) of the
parameter channel:

the master.

On the left of the table, the instruction signatures of the master are listed according
to their function. On the right of the table, the corresponding normal responses (AK
Normal) and error codes (AK Error) transmitted by the slave are listed.
