The default setting for Service Type is ‘Custom’, enabling entry of a Service Code not available from the Service Type
pull-down menu. When choosing a Service Type other than ‘Custom’ from the pull-down menu, an appropriate Hex. value
is automatically assigned to the Service Code box which is dimmed (unavailable).
(2)
Only drive parameters (Port 0) can be written to using Parameter Object Class code 0x0F. To write to a parameter of a
peripheral in another port, use DPI Parameter Object Class code 0x93 (see
).

In this example, Accel Time 1 is a 16-bit integer parameter requiring the tag Data Type field to be set to ‘INT’ when creating
the controller tag. If the parameter being written to is a 32-bit integer, the tag Data Type field must be set to ‘DINT’. Also, the
Source Length field on the Message Configuration screen must correspond to the selected Data Type in bytes (for
example, 4 bytes for a DINT or a REAL). When using a PowerFlex 700S drive or PowerFlex 750-Series drive, Accel Time 1
is a floating point number requiring the Data Type field to be set to ‘REAL’ when creating the controller tag. See the drive
documentation to determine the size of the parameter and its data type (16-bit or 32-bit integer or REAL).
