Drive response instruction length: 4 word
Message Operation
Parameter Value Read reads parameter values from the drive and
places that value (or an error code) in word 3 of the drive response
data file. The value is shown in device units. Device units are listed in
the user manual for the device you are using.
If an error occurs:
• Word 3 of the response contains the status code.
• The status area of the data file is non-zero.
Example
In this example, the value of parameter 20 was requested from a 1336
PLUS drive and a value of 4096 was returned. 4096 is the internal
drive unit value for the Maximum Rated Voltage Parameter. This
corresponds to a value of 100% Drive Rated Volts in Display Units.
