Instruction Manual

38 VEGACOM 557 VEGA ASCII
4.7 Enquiry as single value with address and low resolution
Low resolution = switch 2.2 = OFF
This telegram reads exactly one DCS value. Depending of the position of the switch 2.1, the
DCS values are arranged differently. The assignment of the DCS number to the VEGAMET
addresses is stated in supplement A. In addition to chapter "4.6 Enquiry as block with ad-
dress and low resolution“, an address from 0 to 9 is transferred so that several VEGACOM
557 can be operated on one BUS system (e.g. via a RS 485 interface)
