8

Specifies the output setpoint level for

2 data bytes

setpoint

whatever method of output regulation has

been selected. Accepts a value of 0 to 8000

 

 

 

W (for the 8 kW option) or 0 to 10000 W (for

 

 

 

the 10 kW option) when forward or load

 

 

 

power regulation is selected. Regular units

 

 

 

report in units of watts. HALO units report in

 

 

 

units of tenths of watts.

 

 

 

 

 

 

9

Specifies the external feedback value that

feedback

requires data bytes arranged as follows:

8-bit value

 

 

• First/second byte = a 16-bit value in the

 

 

 

range of 500 to 5000.

 

 

 

• Third byte = the number of decimal

 

 

 

places (0 to 4) used to display the

 

 

 

external feedback signal on the operator

 

 

 

panel.

 

 

 

 

 

 

11

Specifies which target is active; accepts a

1 data byte

12

Sets the life (in kWh) of the target you

life

follows:

32-bit value

 

 

• First byte = the target number

 

 

 

• Second, third, fourth, fifth bytes = target

 

 

 

life in kWh

 

 

 

Note: A decimal is implied—to get 1 kWh,

 

 

 

send a value of 100.

 

 

 

(Readback command is 157.)
