Register description

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.

• R0 ADC raw value (X_R)
  This register contains the raw ADC value of the connected element.

• R1 to R5: Reserved

• R6: Diagnostic register
• High byte: reserved
• Low byte: Status byte

• R7: Command register
  High-Byte_Write = function parameter
  Low-Byte_Write = function number
  High-Byte_Read = function result
  Low-Byte_Read = function number

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.

• R8: Terminal type
  The terminal type in register R8 is needed to identify the terminal.

• R9: Software version (X.y)
  The software version can be read as a string of ASCII characters.

• R10: Data length
  R10 contains the number of multiplexed shift registers and their length in bits.
  The Bus Coupler sees this structure.

• R11: Signal channels
  Related to R10, this contains the number of channels that are logically present. Thus for example a shift register that is physically present can perfectly well consist of several signal channels.

• R12: Minimum data length
  The particular byte contains the minimum data length for a channel that is to be transferred. If the MSB is set, the control and status byte is not necessarily required for the terminal function and is not transferred to the control, if the Bus Coupler is configured accordingly.

• R13: Data type register

• R14: reserved

• R15: Alignment bits (RAM)
  The alignment bits are used to place the analog terminal in the Bus Coupler on a byte boundary.

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.

• R17: Hardware compensation - offset (B_a)
  16-bit signed integer
  This register is used for offset compensation of the terminal.
  Register value approx. 0x0000

• R18: Hardware compensation - gain (A_a)
  This register is used for gain compensation of the terminal.
  Register value approx. 0x3D4X

• R19: Manufacturer scaling - offset (B_h)
  16-bit signed integer [0x0000]
  This register contains the offset of the manufacturer’s linear equation. The linear equation is enabled via register R32.

• R20: Manufacturer scaling - gain (A_h)
  16-bit signed integer*2^-8 [0x00A0]
  This register contains the scale factor of the manufacturer’s linear equation. The linear equation is enabled via register R32.

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.

R31: Code word register in RAM

Functionality of the code word register 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.

• R32: Feature register
  [0x0004]
  This register specifies the operation modes of the terminal. Thus, for instance, a user-specific scaling can be enabled for the analog I/Os.

• R33: User scaling - offset (B_w)
  16-bit signed integer
  This register contains the offset of the user linear equation. The linear equation is enabled via register R32.

• R34: User scaling - gain (A_w)
  16-bit signed integer*2^-8
  This register contains the scale factor of the user linear equation. The linear equation is enabled via register R32.

• R35: reserved

• R36: reserved

• R37: Filter constant
  [0x0000]
  The filter constant is applied to the terminal after the power-on reset

• R38: Gain setting [0x0010]
  Various amplification factors are set with this register, permitting different resolutions of the measured value.
