Description
Data Type
Access
AL-1
Alarm 1 set temperature
(-999-9999 deg TC)*(-99.9-999.9 deg Pt)
Float, DWord, Long
Read/Write
AL-1-MD
Alarm 1 mode of operation*
(0-9)
Short, Word
Read Only
AL-1-OUT
Alarm 1 output status
TRUE = alarm on
FALSE = alarm off
Bool
Read Only
AL-2
Alarm 2 set temperature
(-999-9999 deg TC)
(-99.9-999.9 deg Pt)
Float, DWord, Long
Read/Write
AL-2-MD
Alarm 2 mode of operation*
(0-9)
Short, Word
Read Only
AL-2-OUT
Alarm 2 output status
TRUE = alarm on
FALSE = alarm off
Bool
Read Only
AT
Auto tuning in progress
Write TRUE to start AT
Write FALSE to stop AT
AT remains TRUE until the device completes the auto tuning procedure (or the user terminates it).
Driver does not accept any write commands other than AT=FALSE during auto tuning.
Bool
Read/Write
BACKUP
Backup RAM to non-volatile memory
Write: Anything to initiate backup procedure
Read:
TRUE = non-volatile memory is not current 
FALSE = non-volatile memory is current 
Note: Device is unresponsive for approximately 500 ms during backup.
Bool
Read/Write
BURNOUT
Heater burnout detected
TRUE = heater burnout detected
FALSE = heater OK
Bool
Read Only
CTR-MD
Control mode of operation*
TRUE = "On/Off"
FALSE = "2-degree of freedom PID"
Bool
Read Only
D
Rate time set value
(0-3999 s)
Short, Word
Read/Write
DSPL-UNIT
Display unit*
TRUE = degrees F
FALSE = degrees C
Bool
Read Only
I
Reset time set value
(0-3999 s)
Short, Word
Read/Write
IN-S
Input shift set value
(-999-9999 deg TC)
(-99.9-999.9 deg Pt)
Float, DWord, Long
Read/Write
IN-S_DSPL
Input shift display enable*
TRUE = enabled
FALSE = disabled
Bool
Read Only
IN-T
Input (sensor) type*
(0-9)
Short, Word
Read Only
INITIALSTATUS
Initial Status tag
For information on the INITIALSTATUS value, refer to the image below.
Note: The INITIALSTATUS value is read during initial device setup communications and when reading the following addresses:
 AL-1-MD
 AL-2-MD
 CTR-MD
 DSPL-UNIT
 IN-S_DSPL
 IN-T
 O-TYPE
 O-OP
 PID-DSPL
Short, Word
Read Only
O
Output value
(0.0-100.0%)
Float, DWord, Long
Read Only
O-TYPE
Output type*
TRUE = current
FALSE = pulse
Bool
Read Only
O-OP
Output mode of operation*
TRUE = normal (cooling)
FALSE = reverse (heating)
Bool
Read Only
P
Proportional band set value
(0.0-999.9 deg)
Float, DWord, Long
Read/Write
PID-DSPL
PID display enable*
TRUE = enabled
FALSE = disabled
Bool
Read Only
PV
Process value (measured temperature)
(-999-9999 deg TC)
(-99.9-999.9 deg Pt)
Note: Since hardware status information is passed back to the driver with the PV value, it is important that this memory location be monitored. If a hardware failure should occur (device failure, heater burnout, sensor failure), it is detected and reported by the driver only during a PV read operation.
Float, DWord, Long
Read Only
RAM-MD
RAM mode enable
TRUE = RAM mode
FALSE = backup mode
The driver automatically forces the device into RAM mode to prevent wear on non-volatile memory. Users may backup the contents of RAM by issuing a BACKUP command.
Note: If "Remote Mode"is not selected on the device's front panel, the driver cannot automatically force the device into RAM mode. The RMT button and RMT status indicator are located on the front panel.
Bool
Read Only
REMOTE
Remote Mode enable
TRUE = device in Remote Mode
FALSE = device in Local Mode
The driver is not able to write to the device unless Remote Mode is selected on the device front panel.
Bool
Read Only
SL-H
Set point limit (high)**
Float, DWord, Long
Read Only
SL-L
Set point limit (low)**
Float, DWord, Long
Read Only
SP-S-IN
Set point shift input state
TRUE = shift enabled
FALSE = shift disabled
State is forced TRUE by shorting appropriate terminals on device.
Bool
Read Only
SV
Set value temperature
Setting range: SL-L-SL-H
Float, DWord, Long
Read/Write
ADCERR
A/D Converter Error/Failure
Boolean
Read Only
SENSERR
Abnormal Input/Sensor Error
Boolean
Read Only
RAMERR
RAM Data Error
Boolean
Read Only
 
*This is a hardware setting. For more information, refer to the device's help documentation.
**This value must be set on device front panel. For information on the valid ranges, refer to the device's help documentation.
 
Note: TC denotes temperature range for thermocouple sensor types. Pt denotes temperature range for platinum resistance thermometer sensor types. All stated temperature ranges are numerically equal for degrees F and C.
