Variable Name

Description
Out - SetSlaveAddress
1
Single-Bit
Boolean
This is the bit your control and sequencing logic will use
to trigger a message to tell the PROFIBUS Master to
send a new network node number to a specific slave,
thereby changing its node address. Set this bit to one (1)
whenever no other messages are active and you want to
send this acyclic message.
Out -
CurrentSlaveAddress
1
8-Bit Byte
Valid entries: 0 - 126
Set this variable to the current address of the slave
whose address you wish to change.
Out - NewSlaveAddress 1
8-Bit Byte
Valid entries: 0 - 126
Set this variable to the new address you wish the slave to
have.
Out - NoAddressChange 1
8-Bit Byte
Valid entries:
00h Change of address is still possible at a later stage.
01h - FFh Change or address is not possible until after
slave reset
This parameter specifies whether the slave address can
be changed again at a later stage. if this is not allowed,
then it is only possible to change the address with this
function after initial reset. After the initial reset, the slave
takes the default address 126.
Out - SlaveIdentNumber 1
16-bit Integer
Unique PROFIBUS Slave Identifier, assigned by
PROFIBUS User Organization
Out - IPAddress[ ]
4-element
16-bit Integer
Array
Each of the four integer elements holds one octet of the
message destination device's IP Address. For this
application, it will be the the ProLinx gateway's Ethernet
port address.
Out - Routing Register
1
16-bit Integer
Default value for Quantum processors with built-in
Ethernet port is 254 (16#FE00 hex)
For details, see "MBP_MSTR, Ethernet (Quantum) -
Control Block for TCP/IP Ethernet" in Quantum Help
Files, or Quantum Communication Control and Data
Buffer Variables and DDTs (page 137)
In - Error1
1
8-bit Byte
Error Byte 1 of 4. Bytes 2 - 4 are reserved
For details on Error Byte 1, see Acyclic Message Status
Word (page 218)
In - Length
1
8-bit Byte
Range 6 to 244
Number of bytes sent by the slave as response data, if
any.
In - ReturnCode
1
16-bit Integer
Refer to Return Codes (page 219) for additional
information.
