This parameter defines the base parameter address of a group of seven parameters which can be used by user programs to perform non-cyclic read and write actions to parameters on other drives connected to the Ethernet interface. It can also be used to provide non-cyclic access to option module parameters in other drives connected on the Ethernet interface, or to parameters in option modules on the same drive as the Ethernet interface. If the base parameter defined by this parameter is a drive parameter (e.g. parameter 18.011) then this feature can allow onboard user programs to access internal parameters in any option module on the same drive, or a parameter in another drive connected to the Ethernet interface.
Below are descriptions of the seven parameters required to use this feature. Please note that these parameters must be at least 16 bits in size.
