Register description

The registers can be read or written via the register communication. They are used for the parameterization of the terminal.

R0 to R7: Registers in the internal RAM of the terminal

The process variables can be used in addition to the actual process image. Their function is specific to the terminal.

R8 to R15: Registers in the internal ROM of the terminal

The type and system parameters are hard programmed by the manufacturer, and the user can read them but cannot change them.

R16 to R30: Manufacturer parameter area (SEEROM)

The manufacturer parameters are specific for each type of terminal. They are programmed by the manufacturer, but can also be modified by the controller. The manufacturer parameters are stored in a serial EEPROM in the terminal, and are retained in the event of voltage drop-out.

These registers can only be altered after a code word has been set in R31.

R31 to R47: User parameter area (SEEROM)

The user parameters are specific for each type of terminal. They can be modified by the programmer. The user parameters are stored in a serial EEPROM in the terminal, and are retained in the event of voltage drop-out. The user area is write-protected by a code word.

Register description 1:

• R31: Code word register in RAM

The code word 0x1235 must be entered here so that parameters in the user area can be modified. If any other value is entered into this register, the write-protection is active. When write protection is not active, the code word is returned when the register is read. If the write protection is active, the register contains a zero value.

Feature bit no.

 

Description of the operation mode

Bit 0

1

User scaling (R33, R34) active [0]

Bit 1

Manufacturer scaling (R19, R20) active [1]

Bit 2

Watchdog timer active [1]
In the delivery state, the watchdog timer is switched on.

*) no scaling active
**) only vendor scaling active

Examples:

Bit 15 to 12: 1111, no scaling active:
The output format is as follows: 1 digit is equivalent to 1/16 °C or 4 µV.

Bit 15 to 12: 1111, only vendor scaling activated via bit 1 of the Feature register:
The output format is as follows: 1 digit is equivalent to 1/10 °C or 6.4 µV.

If the Siemens output format is selected, the lowest three bits are used for status evaluation. The process data is mapped in bits 15 to 3, with bit 15 representing the sign bit. Scaling of the measured value according to the Siemens standard has to be done via user scaling (R33, R34).

Register description 2:

Applies to all terminals from firmware version 3x.

This documentation applies to all terminals from firmware version 3x. The version information can be found on the right-hand side of the terminal in the serial number: xxxx3xxx.

Example: 52983A2A => the firmware version is 3A.
