Drive Response –– Block Transfer Read
Message Operation
The Parameter Read Full function specified in the BTW retrieves the
attributes of the requested parameter. The attributes for each
parameter include the data, minimum and maximum values, and the
parameter text. The response message returns this information,
beginning with data word 4. The parameter text is returned with each
data word containing two ASCII characters per word. This data
returns with the first and second characters in opposite order as
shown in the following example.
If an error has occurred in the block transfer, word 2 of the BTR
returns a value of -32000.
Example
In this example, a Parameter Read Full was performed through block
transfer on a 1336
FORCE. N10:10 shows the header message for
the BTW. The data is returned in the BTR data file, starting with
word 4, for parameter 101. Word 4 shows the present value in drive
units. Words 5 through 9 provide scaling information, used to
convert drive units to engineering units. Words 10 through 17
provide the parameter name.
