■ PCA processing
The master controls and monitors VLT parameters
through the PCA portion of the PPOs type 1, 2 and
5 and requests a response from the VLT (slave). In
addition to the parameter processing, the VLT can
also transmit a spontaneous message.
Requests and responses involve an acknowledge-
ment exchange (a so-called handshake) which
cannot be worked off in stack operation. This
means that the master, when sending a read/write
request, must wait for the response before sending
a new request. A request or response is limited to
a maximum of 4 bytes, i.e. no text strings can be
transmitted.
PCA - Parameter description
Request and response
In the RC portion of the PCA word the requests of
the master to the slave are triggered. The other two
PCV fields IND and PVA must be evaluated as
well.
The PVA portion transmits parameter values in
word size with the bytes 7 and 8; double words
require the bytes 5-8, i.e. 32 bits.
If the request or response contains array elements,
the array subindex will be in IND (byte 3). In the
event of a parameter description, IND contains the
record subindex.

If a request from the master is not executed by the
slave, the RC word in the PPO-Read has the
value 7. The error number is in bytes 7 and 8 of the
PVA element.
