Parameter Specific Index Method (P782 = 1)

The Parameter Specific index method sets the index values for each parameter
independently. Use this method to read multiple parameters with different index values.
1. Write the primary index, secondary index, and data format values into the
appropriate format register.
For example, to read the following information:
• measured level (P921)
• in units with three decimal places
• from Transducer One
Send the integer value 01008 to register 46,921.
2. Read the value from the appropriate parameter register (the example uses 44,921).
Types of values are:
Numeric Values
•
Bit Values
•
Split Values
•
Text Messages
•
Relay Function Codes (P111 Only)
•
A value of 22,222 indicates that an error occurred. Specify a different format type
and try again.
