(FlowDDE)Parameternumbers:

Allparameterinformationisreferencedtotheparameternumber.Thisisauniquenumberforaparametertoavoid

redundancy.ThesenumbersareneededforDDEcommunicationonly.



For communication with FLOW‐BUS throughother ways than DDE: directly via RS232 ASCII‐strings or via C‐libraries



(DOS or Windows), use the parameter numbers for the FLOW‐BUS modules (in column FBnr of table Parameter

properties). Now you will always have to know the node‐address of the instrument on the FLOW‐BUS, the process

numberontheinstrumentandtheparameternumberontheinstrument.



Process

 nr could be read from the table or has to be determined, when nothing is filled in. In most cases process

numberwillbe1.Node‐addressshouldbedeterminedalso.Thisisthenode‐addressoftheinstrumentontheFLOW‐

BUS. Newer RS232 protocols on Multibus instruments accept

node = 128. When sending messages to this node

address,themessagewillbealwaysaccepted,unregardingthenodeaddressoftheinstrumentonthebus.
