REGISTERS
When a Port Initialization configures a BIC-II product port to suit an AiRanger XPL, XPL Plus or DPL Plus, the
product data registers (read only) are assigned as follows.
Status Registers
AiRanger XPL, XPL Plus and DPL Plus Status registers indicate the general health of the Milltronics product
(and process monitored). Port 1 Status registers range from 40001 to 40010, corresponding to the AiRanger
XPL and XPL Plus points of measure 1 to 10 respectively. For the DPL Plus, port 1 status registers range
from 40001 to 40003, corresponding to the DPL+ points of measure 1 to 3 respectively. For instruction
purposes, only the point 1 status register is shown.

Reading Registers
AiRanger XPL, XPL Plus and DPL Plus Reading registers contain the measurement display value. Two
registers are used for the reading associated with each point.
Port 1 Reading registers range from 40011 to 40030, corresponding to the AiRanger XPL and XPL Plus
points of measure. DPL Plus Port 1 Reading registers range from 40004 to 40009. Registers 40011 and
40012 apply to point 1, 41013 and 41014 to point 2, etc.
Check the first register for a value of 56,797 ($DDDD) (point out of service) or 61,166 ($EEEE)
(display overflow).
For any other value, convert the register values to a floating point decimal (FPD) value by:
FPD = Register 1 (decimal equivalent) value +
Register 2 (decimal equivalent) value
10,000
The range of FPD values possible is 0.0 to 9,999.9999
PL-371 9 – 5
