For more information about the usage of this area see appendix C for each ANYBUS module.
Note! The application does not have to access this area to initialise and use the ANYBUS module.
4.2.4 Control Register (3E0h - 3FFh)
• read / write (AB-DT ⇐⇒application)
Through the control registers all necessary actions are done for accessing the data in the DPRAM.
Furthermore it gives additional information of the environment, e.g. fieldbus type, fieldbus active, ...
The contents of the control register can be found in the following table. The functions are described in the
following sections.

1 Watch dog (3F3h)
• read only (AB-DT ⇒ application)
Register incremented each 32 milliseconds (ms) by the ANYBUS module. This is not a precision timer and
can differ +/- 10% between different ANYBUS modules. Can be used as an indication that the ANYBUS
module is operating without any errors
2 Baud rate (3F4h)
Baud rate for serial interface. Not used by the DPRAM interface, please see corresponding chapter.
3 ID number (3F5h)
• read only (AB-DT ⇒ application)
This register gives an ID-number of the board in use. The ID-number can be used to identify the revision of
the used board. It is not an unique number!
