The parameters are usually all read/write. However, before a parameter can be read or
written to, the format (where decimal place is) and the indexes must be defined.
Format Word (R43,997)
Format Word is an unsigned integer that contains a value that represents a certain
decimal offset.
The decimal offset indicates how the remote system must interpret the integer value that
is stored in the parameter access register. The following table shows how different
parameter values can be shown based on a register value (integer) of 1234.
Examples of using the Format Word for both the index values and the decimal offset value
are shown below:
Decimal Offset Example
0 0 1,234
1 -1 12,340
2-2 123,400
3 -3 1,234,000
4 -4 12,340,000
5 -5 123,400,000
6+1 123.4
7 +2 12.34
8 +3 1.234
9 Percent 12.34%
