8.102: Operational Communication Settings Block (65025-65040)
These Registers keep the valid Communication Settings for all four ports. The Communication
Settings Block (45057) in the Programmable Settings Block might have the wrong values if they
were interrupted while the meter was being updated.
QDescription: Operational Communication Settings Registers included in this block:
Device Address - 2 bytes, unsigned integer, ranging from 0 to 0xFFFF.
Protocol - 1 byte, unsigned integer.
Baud Rate - 1 byte, unsigned integer.
Parity - 1 byte, unsigned integer.
Stop Bits- 1 byte, unsigned integer.
Data Bits - 1 byte, unsigned integer.
Response Delay - 1 byte, unsigned integer.
8.103: Diagnostic Block (65041-65042)
QDescription: These registers consist of 32 bits of Data Valid Bits. These registers are created for
debugging purposes for GE engineers. When a problem is noticed, GE engineers can use these reg-
isters to find the cause of the problem. Customers should NOT use these registers for polling.
8.104: Device Identification Block 2 (65088-65280)
QDescription: Device Identification Registers included in this block:
196 Xilinx Version / 320 Xilinx Version (65088)
Each number is represented by a 1-byte integer.
