USS read request
Example: Reading out alarm messages from the inverter.
The parameter channel comprises four words (p2023 = 4). In order to obtain the values of
the indexed parameter r2122, you must fill the telegram of the parameter channel with the
following data:
● Request parameter value (field): Bits 15 ... 12 in the PKE word:
● Parameter number without offset: Bits 10 ... 0 in the PKE word:
● Offset of the parameter number in the byte page index of the word IND:
● Index of the parameter in the byte subindex of the word IND:
messages in the Section Alarms (Page 258) .
● Because you want to read the parameter value, words 3 and 4 in the parameter channel

Because you can only code parameter numbers from 1 ... 1999 in the PKE, you must
deduct as large an offset as possible, a number divisible by 2000, from the parameter
number, and transfer the result of this calculation to the PKE word.
In our example, this means: 2122 - 2000 = 122 = 7AH
for this example: When offset = 2000, this corresponds to a page index value of 0x80
If you wish to read-out the last alarm, then you must enter index 0, for the third from last,
index 2 (example). You can find a detailed description on the history of the alarm
for requesting the parameter value are irrelevant. They should be assigned a value of 0,
for example.
