0CH 40013 dPt (Decimal point) 0 -> 0, 1 -> 0.0, 2 -> 0.00, 3 -> 0.000.

If the return value is larger than +128, it implies that all PV and
parameter using the same unit (including temperature and linear
signal) have to be divided by 10 and round off to display. E.g.
when dPt=128+1=129，the 16-bit return PV and related

parameters is 1000，the actual display should be 10.0. If

dPt=1，the actual display should be 100.0；This parameter is

writable but it is no need to add 128. The range is 0~3.

0DH 40014 ScL (Signal scale low limit) Same unit as PV

0EH 40015 ScH(Signal scale high Same unit as PV

data，quantity is defined

Remark

1、Parameters with * are exclusive for AI-518P/708P/719P. They are invalid for AI-518/708/719. Parameters with ** are

exclusive for AI-719. Parameters with *** are exclusive for AI-518P/708P/719/ 719P.

2、If the requesting parameter code is out of the table (invalid code or reserved code), the instrument will return the high

value 127. (Integer is 32512~32767，since the maximum value of parameters among AI-series instruments is 32000，parameter

larger than 32512 is known as invalid）This will be processed by the computer. If the parameter code is larger than the last value

(0B4H) of the effective program segment, the instrument will not response as the same as transmission error.

3、When the instrument which has manual adjust function is in manual mode, the output value can be adjusted by writing to

parameter 1AH.

4、15H refers to instrument model identity:

The computer should have different process mode to different model of instrument.

2. MODBUS Compatible Command

Since instrument firmware version V8.2, AI-series instruments have been added MODBUS support. The instrument
support two command in MODBUS protocol, thus they are able to communication with more devices including
MODBUS devices. To ensure the speed, AI-series instrument use the RTU (binary) mode and BAUD rate must be set
at 9600 bit/s. There is no parity check. The two commands which are support are:

 03H (read/write) data, and

 06H (write one single parameter).

Read command / 03 command, requesting reading four data in one time:

ADDR + 03H + 0 + <parameter code to read> + 0 + 4 + CRC verification code

The return data is

Addr + 03H + 08H + Hi(PV) + Lo(PV) + Hi(SV) + Lo(SV) + ALM + MV + Hi(Val) + Lo(Val) + Lo(C RC) +
Hi(CRC)

* Hi() is high byte, Lo() is low byte and Val is the parameter to be read.

Writing one single parameter:

ADDR + 06H + 0 + <parameter code to write> + <high byte of data to write> + < low byte of data to
write > + CRC verification code

There is limited of MODBUS protocol. It is impossible to return measurement value when using write command. The
measurement value will not refresh during write action. Therefore write command should be avoided in order not to
slow down the system performance.
