File Number
The file number word contains the register number from Register
Address Structure. Although the register address structure tables
indicate up to 13 data registers are available for access, only register
address 3 is currently supported.
Register Address
The register address word represents the tag ID number for the
parameter(s) being accessed. The register address word is made up
of two bytes—the MSB = 00 always. The LSB contains the tag ID
number. The tag ID numbers represent the parameter’s register
address(es).See Configuration for more information.
