How to change the value of bit pointer parameter to point to the value of a bit
in another signal
The bit pointer parameter points to the value of a bit in another signal, or can be fixed
to 0 (FALSE) or 1 (TRUE). For the latter option, see page 29. The bit pointer
parameter points to a bit value (0 or 1) of one bit in a 32-bit signal. The first bit from
the left is bit number 31, and the first bit from the right is bit number 0. E.g. bit 01
stands for bit number 2
1
= 2, the second bit from the right, and number 00 stands for
bit number 2
0
= 1, the first bit from the right.
When adjusting a bit pointer parameter on the control panel, POINTER is selected to
define a source from another signal. A pointer value is given in format P.xx.yy.zz,
where xx = Parameter group; yy = Parameter index, zz = Bit number.
For more information, see appropriate Firmware Manual.
