8-20 DeviceNet Communications Module
8.7 Multi-Drive Mode Explicit Messaging
Parameter addressing for Explicit messaging is different in
Multi-Drive mode than with Single-Drive mode. In Single-Drive
mode, the Instance value in the message equals the desired
parameter number in the drive. In Multi-Drive mode, an Instance
table is used to account for the parameters in the module and up to
5 drives. The parameters in the module and each of the drives are
offset by 400 hex (1024 decimal):
For example, to access parameter P39 (Accel Time 1) in each of the
drives, the following Instances would be used:
• Drive 0 Instance = 17447 (17408 + 39)
• Drive 1 Instance = 18471 (18432 + 39)
• Drive 2 Instance = 19495 (19456 + 39)
• Drive 3 Instance = 20519 (20480 + 39)
• Drive 4 Instance = 21543 (21504 + 39)

Drive 4 parameters are accessed by adding 21504 decimal (5400 hex) to the
desired parameter number. For example, to access parameter 39 an Instance of
21543 (21504 + 39) is used.
