4 Setting the device parameters
4.1 Representation
of parameter
data
The parameters are set by way of the parameter channel described in
section 4.6 “Parameter channel”.
The parameter data are transmitted in binary format within a CAN data
block. The parameter data begin at data byte 3 and have a maximum
length of 4 bytes (Intel format).
Interpretation of the data transferred in the data block differs depending
on parameter data type.
Note: For most device parameters the settings are displayed in the
K
EYPAD and the DRIVEMANAGER user interface in the form of
value substitution texts (abbreviations). In response to que-
ries and for transfers over the bus system the settings are
transferred in the form of numerical values. The following
descriptions of the settings give both: (numerical value) value
substitution text.
