Controller Identification Register

Access: Read Only
Effective: Instantly
This register may be used to query the Controller’s model and some of its optional hard-
ware configurations.
Current Amps Limit Registers
Address: ^8B - Channel 1
^8C - Channel 2
Access: Read Only
Effective: Instantly
These registers can be polled to view what the Amps limit is at the current time. This limit
normally is the one that is preset by the user except when the controller is operating at
high temperature, in which case the allowable current drops as temperature rises. See
“Temperature-Based Current Limitation” on page 38.
To convert the register value in Amps, divide the reading by 8.
