Exchanges via Message Handling
The maximum message length is 128 bytes. Message handling services 
conform to the Peripheral Communication Protocol (PCP) standard for 
communication services. This is without an error check.
In order to send messages to both output periodic words (6040h and 
6042h) ProcDatEnab must be set to zero. This disables the periodic data 
exchange. If the periodic data exchange is not disabled the next periodic 
data exchange overwrites the message data.
NOTE: All messages pass through all of the slaves on the network, but 
slave-to-slave communication is not possible.
The variables exchanged via message handling are described in the 
ATV58 Register Access Guide for Communication Networks, 
VVDED397058US. To command and control the speed of the drive 
controller, the command variables in Tables 14 (page 23) and 15 
(page 26) must be used. Interbus-S protocol assigns the control register 
and the speed setpoint to the output periodic words by default. Message 
handling must therefore not be used to transmit these commands, as they 
will be immediately replaced by the next exchange of periodics.
Accessible Data
The two following types of objects can be accessed:
• User objects (Index 0x5FE0 to 0x5FFF)
• Drivecom objects (Index 0x6000 to 0x6049)
Control and Supervision
Interbus-S protocol is used to control exchanges.
If an invalid message is sent to the slave device, it transmits an exception 
response to the master device. The master then decides whether to 
repeat the exchange or not.
