PLC-5 Controller Example to Write a Single Parameter
A write message is used to write to a single parameter. This write message
example writes a value of 10.0 seconds to parameter 140 - [Accel Time 1] in
a PowerFlex 7-Class drive.

In RSLogix 5 software, leading zeros are not displayed in data file addresses. For example, ‘0008’ in address
N30:1 is shown as ‘8’.

N30:1 0008 8 Port = 00, Size = 08 bytes

Setting the data file address value to ‘9’ will write the parameter value to the drive’s Nonvolatile Storage
(EEPROM) memory, which retains the parameter value even after the drive is power cycled. Important: When
set to ‘9’, the EEPROM may quickly exceed its life cycle and cause the drive to malfunction. Setting the data file
address value to ‘A’ (Hex.) will write the parameter value to temporary memory, which deletes the parameter
value after the drive is power cycled. When frequent write messages are required, we recommend using the ‘A’
setting.

In this example, Accel Time 1 is a 16-bit integer parameter. The most significant word (MSW) is not used. For
PowerFlex 700S or PowerFlex 750-Series drives, Accel Time 1 is a floating point number. To manipulate REAL
data into two 16-bit registers, see the ‘Communications’ section in Chapter 1 of the PowerFlex 700S AC Drives
Phase II Control Reference Manual, publication PFLEX-RM003.
