Performing Commands Using Function Code 10H

Commands can be performed using function code 16 as well as function code 5. When using FUNCTION CODE 16, the Command Function register must be written with a value of

5.The Command Operation register must be written with a valid command operation number. The Command Data registers must be written with valid data; this is dependent upon the command operation.

For example, consider a request for slave 17 to perform command operation 1 (RESET): The master/slave packets have the following format:
