The default setting for Service is “Custom,” enabling entry of a Service Code not available from the Service pull-down menu. When
selecting a Service other than “Custom” from the pull-down menu, an appropriate Hex. value is automatically assigned to the Service
Code box which grays out (unavailable).
(2)
In this example, we are writing to five 32-bit REAL (floating point) parameters. Each parameter being written to requires four contiguous
16-bit words. Scattered write messages always assume that every parameter being written to is a 32-bit parameter, regardless of its
actual size. Therefore, the Size in Bytes must be set to 40. The data structure format is shown in Figure 6.52 on page 6-43
. Maximum
length is 128 words (256 bytes), which equates to 32 parameters.
(3)
Service Code 4E write messages are written to the drive’s Non-Volatile Storage (EEPROM) memory, so the parameter value will remain
even after the drive is power cycled. Important: Be very cautious as the EEPROM may quickly exceed its life cycle and cause the drive
to malfunction.
