8.4.8 Parameter Number (PNU)

Bits 0–11 transfer parameter numbers. The function of the
relevant parameter is defined in the parameter description
®
in the VLT Micro Drive FC 51 Programming Guide.

8.4.9 Index (IND)

The index is used with the parameter number to read/
write access parameters with an index, for example,
parameter 15-30 Alarm Log: Error Code. The index consists
of 2 bytes; a low byte, and a high byte.
Only the low byte is used as an index.

8.4.10 Parameter Value (PWE)

The parameter value block consists of 2 words (4 bytes),
and the value depends on the defined command (AK). The
master prompts for a parameter value when the PWE block
8 8
contains no value. To change a parameter value (write),
write the new value in the PWE block and send from the
master to the slave.
When a slave responds to a parameter request (read
command), the present parameter value in the PWE block
is transferred and returned to the master. If a parameter
contains several data options, for example
parameter 0-01 Language, select the data value by entering
the value in the PWE block. Serial communication is only
capable of reading parameters containing data type 9 (text
string).
Parameter 15-40 FC Type to parameter 15-53 Power Card
Serial Number contain data type 9.
For example, read the unit size and mains voltage range in
parameter 15-40 FC Type. When a text string is transferred
(read), the length of the telegram is variable, and the texts
are of different lengths. The telegram length is defined in
nd
the 2 byte of the telegram (LGE). When using text
transfer, the index character indicates whether it is a read
or a write command.
To read a text via the PWE block, set the parameter
command (AK) to F hex. The index character high-byte
must be 4.

8.4.12 Conversion

The programming guide contains the descriptions of
attributes of each parameter. Parameter values are
transferred as whole numbers only. Conversion factors are
used to transfer decimals.
Parameter 4-12 Motor Speed Low Limit [Hz] has a conversion
factor of 0.1. To preset the minimum frequency to 10 Hz,
transfer the value 100. A conversion factor of 0.1 means
that the value transferred is multiplied by 0.1. The value
100 is thus perceived as 10.0.

8.4.13 Process Words (PCD)

The block of process words is divided into 2 blocks of 16
bits, which always occur in the defined sequence.
