POWERMAX65/85 SERIAL COMMUNICATION PROTOCOL
Command Name Register
(hex)
Description
current_set min
Scaling is 16-bit, fixed-
point binary with 1-bit sign
at MSB and 6 bit decimal
at LSB.
0x2099 Reads the minimum current setting limit for the power supply.
Sample: :010420990001410D0A
Response: :0104020500F4
current_set_min value :010402xxxxcc
Where xxxx equals the hex value of a decimal value. Divide by
64 to get the amperage.
cc equals LRC (checksum)
0x0500 = 1280 ÷ 64 = 20
The minimum current setting limit in this example = 20Amp
current_set_max
Scaling is 16-bit, fixed-
point binary with 1-bit sign
at MSB and 6 bit decimal
at LSB.
0x209A Reads the maximum current setting limit for the power supply.
Sample: :0104209A0001400D0A
Response: :0104021040A9
:010402xxxxcc
Where xxxx equals the hex value of a decimal value. Divide by
64 to get the amperage.
cc equals LRC (checksum)
0x1040 = 4160 decimal÷ 64 = 65
The maximum current setting limit in this example = 65 Amp
pressure_set_min
Scaling is 16-bit, fixed-
point binary with 1-bit sign
at MSB and 7-bit decimal
at LSB.
0x209C Reads the minimum pressure setting limit for the power
supply.
Sample: :0104209C00013E0D0A
Response: :0104021F805A
:010402xxxxcc
Where xxxx equals the hex value of the decimal value. Divide
by 128 to get the PSI.
cc equals LRC (checksum)
0x1F80 = 8064 decimal ÷ 128 = 63
The minimum pressure setting in this example = 63 PSI
