Figure 29. Navigating the Home Page
This interface provides typical windowing techniques such as re-sizing, scrolling, expanding/collapsing, and
hover-over on text to see additional information.
Areas and features of the card's home page:
l Banner. The page banner displays the gateway time in UTC (Coordinated Universal Time). The local time and
system location can be configured to also display in the banner.
If there is an active alarm in the hardware, a flashing alarm icon with an alarm message displays in the
banner. Click the alarm message in the banner to display the Open Alarms page.
The highest level of an alarm active in the UPS displays as follows:
- Red for critical
- Yellow for caution
- Blue for acknowledged, but not closed (still alarming)
NOTE An active alarm is different from an open alarm:
l Active Alarm. An alarm is active when an alarming condition exists in the UPS.
Messages display on the UPS LCD panel and on the card interface banner when
alarms go active and disappear when the alarming condition clears.
l Open Alarm. When an alarm goes active, it is also considered open and remains
open (even after the condition clears in the UPS hardware) until it is closed by an
operator. Operators are required to close alarms to ensure they are seen. While
the UPS LCD panel and the card interface banner display the alarms that are
active in the UPS, other areas of the card interface, (such as the Open Alarms
page, device data pages, and the alarm log), display any alarms that have not
been closed by the operator. Since closing an alarm that is still active in the
hardware quickly results in the generation of a new alarm, an operator has the
option to mark an alarm as acknowledged to indicate it has been seen.
To close or acknowledge an open alarm, see “Alarm Notices” on page 42.
l Menu Bar. The menu bar contains links to additional pages for status information and configuration options.
Menus are expandable and collapsible. The Device Data menu is expanded when you first log on. If an alarm
is active, the Open Alarms menu category turns red and the number of open alarms displays in parentheses,
so that alarms are never hidden even if the menu is collapsed. Use the menu bar to move through the card's
Web pages.
l Analog Gauges. Analog gauges display on the Overview and Device Data pages next to metered items to
show related critical device information, such as status, power, and energy levels at a glance. Examples of
metered items are:
- Percent full load
- Percent battery left
- Bypass, input, and output frequency
- Battery time remaining
- Power output
- Remote humidity and temperature (if the optional EMP is connected to the card)
The bar is green for the normal operating range (white background) and gradually changes to yellow and
then red as it moves to the caution range (light blue background) to critical (darker blue background).
Pause the pointer over the information icon to display numerical limits.
l Overview. The Overview displays a functional status diagram of the UPS (or UPSs in a parallel system). The
animated yellow line shows the direction of the energy flow. To the right of the diagram, a list of the most
relevant current readings displays. The List tab page displays a complete list of current readings.
l Device Data Page Toolbar.
- Group by Category / Clear Grouping - toggles whether the parameters are grouped by category or listed
alphabetically
- Collapse All / Expand All - toggles all categories and sub-categories
- Configure Alarms - edit the selected alarm attributes, such as enable the alarm, auto close, alarm priority
(severity), and custom alarm message
- Configure Logging - configures whether parameter changes generate a notification message or are
logged either as they occur or at intervals
- Configure Display - configure how a selected parameter is displayed
- Show Summary Parameters / Show All Parameters - displays essential data most often used to determine
the overall status of the device.
NOTE The Output KW Hours displays on the Overview and also on the Device and List
tabbed pages. Because the Output KW Hours is reset to zero when the card is
restarted, Eaton recommends that this feature not be used for billing purposes. If
you choose to use this value for billing purposes, record the Output KW Hours
before restarting the card.
l Atom Web Feed. The card supports Atom Syndication Format (Atom) for Web feeds. The orange Atom icon
is in the status bar. Click the Atom Feed icon to view new content or subscribe to the PXGMS UPS Card
feed data. Some browsers also display the Atom Feed icon in the address bar.

Editing BACnet IP Settings

The BACnet/IP data display has 3 configuration categories, Identification (Network card sub-category), BBMD
and Virtual Routing (Routed Device Settings sub-category). Expand the categories and sub-categories to edit
the automatic settings.
Identification section:
l Base ID for auto-assign - This value is automatically generated during initial setup. Edit this value to
establish a good base for the range of BACnet IDs for your devices.
l Auto-assign network card ID - If there is a check-mark in this box, the Network Card > Device ID
(object-identifier) cannot be modified. If this box is not checked, the Network Card > Device ID
(object-identifier) can be modified.
l Device ID (object-identifier) - An initial value is automatically generated by the PXGMS UPS Card. If
Auto-Assign Network Card ID is not enabled, you can edit this value if desired (it must be unique within the
enterprise-wide BACnet network).
l Device object-name - An initial value is automatically generated by the PXGMS UPS Card. Edit this value if
desired for a specific application (it must be unique within the enterprise-wide BACnet network).
l BACnet/IP MAC address - This value is automatically generated by the PXGMS UPS Card and cannot be
modified.
BBMD section:
l IPv4 IP address for foreign registration - If you are using a BACnet Broadcast Management Device
(BBMD) to connect the PXGMS UPS Card to a subnet, you must define the BBMD IP address to register
with the BBMD on the remote subnet.
l BBMD time to live (seconds) - You can set the BBMD time to live value. The default is 360 seconds and
you can set any value (in seconds) from 30 to 65536.
Virtual Routing section:
l Routed network number - The integer BACnet Network number assigned to the Virtual Network that
“holds” the Routed Devices managed by this PXGMS UPS Card. This BACnet Network Number must be
unique with the enterprise-wide collection of BACnet networks. Since no initial value can be intuited by the
PXGMS UPS Card, the Virtual Routed Devices do not appear to exist via BACnet/IP until a value has been set
for this field.
l Auto-assign virtual device IDs - If there is a check-mark in this box the Routed Device Settings > Device ID
(object-identifier) cannot be modified. If this box is not checked, the Routed Device Settings > Device ID
(object-identifier) can be modified.
l MAC template for Virtual Devices - This value is used as a template in generating the separate BACnet/IP
MAC address of the routed BACnet/IP devices.
l Select the device - Select the appropriate device from the drop-down menu.
l Device ID (object-identifier) - An initial value is automatically generated by the PXGMS UPS Card for each
Routed Device. If Auto-Assign Virtual Device IDs is not enabled, you can edit these values if desired (each
device ID must be unique within the enterprise-wide BACnet network).
l Device object-name - An initial value is automatically generated by the PXGMS UPS Card for each Routed
Device. Edit these values if desired for a specific application (each must be unique within the
enterprise-wide BACnet network).
Configuring BACnet/IP Options

To limit access to the card by trusted BACnet/IP peers (BAS workstations or devices) only:

2. Select the BACnet/IP access restricted by IP/hostname check box.

Contact #2.
3. For Contact #1 and #2, select the Contact Type as Normally Open or Normally Closed from the pull-down
menu (disabled is the default).
NOTE The shutdown clients shut down according to the parameters configured on the
clients configuration page.
4. If Contact #1 or Contact #2 alarms remain active for a specified amount of time, you can signal the
shutdown clients to initiate a shut down. To specify the amount of time, set the seconds for Contact #1
and #2 in the Shutdown Delay field. Enter 1 to 600 seconds (1 second to 10 minutes) to enable the
shutdown. The default is 0, which means the clients and UPS will not initiate shut down.
5. To set the temperature alarm limits of the EMP, enter 32 to 158 degrees Fahrenheit (0 to 70 degrees
Celsius) for the Temperature Upper Limit and the Temperature Lower Limit. The default for the upper
limit is 158 and the default for the lower is 32.
6. Use the Temperature Hysteresis to control the alarm when the current value is hovering around the limit.
When the EMP temperature measure activates the alarm, it can come out of the alarm state only by
dropping below the Temperature Hysteresis value. Enter a value between 0 and 10 percent. The default is
2 percent.
7. If the temperature alarm remains active for a specified amount of time, you can signal the shutdown
clients to initiate shut down. To specify the amount of time, set the seconds for the temperature alarm in
the Shutdown Delay. Enter 1 to 600 seconds (1 second to 10 minutes) to enable the shutdown. The
default is 0, which means the clients and UPS will not initiate shut down.
8. To set the humidity limits of the EMP, enter 0 to 90 percent for the Humidity Upper Limit and the
Humidity Lower Limit. The default for the upper limit is 90 and the default for the lower limit is 0.
9. Use the Humidity Hysteresis to control the alarm when the humidity percentage is hovering around the
alarm limit. When the EMP humidity measure activates the alarm, it can come out of the alarm state only
by dropping below the Humidity Hysteresis value. Enter a value between 0 and 20 percent.
10. If the humidity alarm remains active for a specified amount of time, you can signal the shutdown clients to
initiate shut down. To specify the amount of time, set the seconds for the humidity alarm in the
Shutdown Delay. Enter 1 to 600 seconds (1 second to 10 minutes) to enable the shutdown. The default
is 0, which means the clients and UPS will not initiate shut down.

Alarm Notices
Alarm notices display in three areas of the Web interface:
l Banner: If there is an active alarm present on the UPS (Condition Active: true), a flashing alarm icon and an
alarm message will display in the banner. The alarm icon and message reflect the actual condition of the
highest active alarm in the UPS. Clicking the alarm message displays the Open Alarms page.
l Device Data Summary and List page: If there is an open alarm, the “(Alarms Present)” message displays
at the top of the Device Data page and the alarmed data value is highlighted in red text and will continues to
be displayed in the alarm state until the alarm is closed.
l Menu bar: If there is an open alarm, “Open Alarms” and the number of active alarms display in red under
the Alarms menu. Click Open Alarms to display the Open Alarms page.
NOTE An active alarm is different from an open alarm:
l Active Alarm. An alarm is active when an alarm condition exists in the UPS.
Messages display on the UPS LCD panel and on the card interface banner when
alarms go active and disappear when the alarming condition clears.
l Open Alarm. When an alarm goes active, it is also considered open and remains
open (even after the condition clears in the UPS hardware) until it is closed by an
operator. Operators are required to close alarms to ensure that they are aware
that the alarm condition occurred. While the UPS LCD panel and the card
interface banner display the alarms that are active in the UPS, other areas of the
card interface (such as the Open Alarms page, device data pages, and the alarm
log), display any alarms that have not been closed by the operator. Since closing
an alarm that is still active in the hardware quickly results in the generation of a
new alarm, an operator has the option to mark an alarm as acknowledged to
indicate it has been seen.
The Open Alarms page displays a list of the latest alarms. Inactive alarms continue to display until they are
closed.
To view, acknowledge, or close alarms:
1. Select Open Alarms from the Open Alarms menu.
The Open Alarms page displays with the following information for each alarm:
l The alarm level (caution, critical, or major).
l Time and date when the error occurred.
l The parameter that is in alarm.
l The alarm message that displays on the UPS control panel (displays as a link).
l The condition of the alarm (active is true, inactive is false). The condition of the alarm indicates the
actual condition of the UPS.
2. To view the specific alarm parameter data, click the Alarm Message link. The Summary page displays and
the value in error displays in red text.
3. Select the alarm or alarms you want to acknowledge, discontinue acknowledgement, or close. Select the
top check box to select all alarms, or select one or more alarms individually.
NOTE If the Alarm page updates, selections could be lost. Selecting an alarm row, or
selecting Pause Auto-Update, prevents the page from automatically updating.
4. Select one of the following:

a. Select Acknowledge Selected to acknowledge that you are aware of the alarm.
b. Select Un-Acknowledge Selected to reverse a previous acknowledgement.
c. Select Close Selected to close the alarm and remove it from the Open Alarms list.
NOTE 1 If a UPS alarm is still active in the UPS (Condition Active: true) and you close the
alarm, a new alarm and event ID is entered into the Open Alarms list.
NOTE 2 If a UPS alarm clears automatically, close the alarm to remove it from the Open
Alarms list.
5. You have the option to add a note when prompted. Click OK to apply the selection.
NOTE This note is optional and is entered into the Event log and displays in the Power
Xpert software. The note applies to all selected alarms.
6. Click Continue Auto-Update to resume page updating.

Chapter 5 Root Certificate Authority Installation
Improve the security of your Power Xpert Gateway Minislot (PXGMS) UPS Card on the Web by installing its
root certificate authority (CA) into your browser's CA cache. A CA is a trusted third party that issues digital
certificates for use with encrypted digital transactions. The digital certificate guarantees the identity of the Web
site of the company that holds the certificate. In this case, the PXGMS UPS Card functions as both the CA and
the certificate holder.
You can use the card without installing its root CA (using HTTP), but the transactions will not be as secure as
with the root CA (using HTTPS). You can require secure transactions by configuring the card for HTTPS (see
“Configuring HTTP and HTTPS” on page 34). The performance of the card is not impacted by using secure
transactions.

Chapter 6 MIB Files
This chapter describes the Management Information Base (MIB) files available with the card. A MIB is an
information repository residing on a device in a communication network. Network management software uses
a device's MIB to manage the device. Every manageable device on a network has a MIB consisting of one or
more files that list information about the device.
Use the facilities provided by your Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) management software to
access the individual MIB objects. The objects define the information available about your UPS.
You can configure a device so that it generates a trap if a certain condition occurs, such as an alarm clearing.
The trap is sent to the management station to inform it of the occurrence.
This chapter contains an overview of MIB definitions for each of the MIB files:
l Powerware UPS MIB
l RFC 1628 UPS MIB
l Eaton EMP MIB
l Eaton Alarms+Traps MIB
l Eaton OID Assignments
l RFC 4133 Entity MIB
l RFC 4268 Entity State MIB
l RFC 4268 Entity State MIB Part 2
See the MIB files for detailed information about each MIB object.
Selecting a UPS MIB File

You can use the Standard UPS MIB, as described in RFC-1628, or the proprietary Powerware UPS MIB with
the client SNMP management software. Eaton recommends loading both MIBs. Table 6 lists the advantages
of both MIBs.

Powerware UPS MIB

NOTE Not every UPS model implements all of the Powerware UPS MIB objects. For example, the
Bypass objects are supported only by larger UPSs with a separate bypass feed.
The Powerware UPS MIB consists of the following groups:
l Identification – the xupsIdent status objects provide UPS information, such as the UPS model or UPS
firmware version.
l Battery – the xupsBattery status objects provide UPS battery information, such as battery time remaining or
the percentage of battery charge.
l Input, Output, and Bypass – the xupsInput, xupsOutput, and xupsBypass status objects allow the network
manager to check or graph the condition of the UPS and its environment, such as monitoring input voltage
and output load.
l Environment – the xupsEnvironment objects provide data around the UPS, such as the ambient
temperature, and also allow you to set the upper and lower limits for the ambient temperature alarm.
l Alarms and Traps – the xupsAlarm and xupsTrapControl objects alert the SNMP management station to the
condition of the UPS and of significant conditions, such as Shutdown Imminent.
l Test – the xupsTest objects perform a general UPS systems test and UPS battery test.
l Control – with the xupsControl objects, a network manager can remotely control the UPS by SNMP set
commands, performing such tasks as shutting down or turning on the UPS.
l Configuration – the xupsConfig objects allow you to view UPS configuration, such as watts, voltage, or
frequency and configure the UPS date and time and installation date.
l Receptacle – the xupsRecep objects provide status information about the controllable load groups and
control objects for removing and returning power to these load groups.
l Topology – the xupsTopology objects describe the machine type and are primarily used for
machine-to-machine communication within a power management system.
RFC 1628 UPS MIB

The RFC 1628 standard UPS MIB consists of the following groups:
l Identification – the upsIdent status objects provide UPS information, such as the UPS model or UPS
firmware version.
l Battery – the upsBattery status objects provide UPS battery information, such as battery time remaining or

Chapter 7 Modbus Remote Terminal Unit (RTU) Configuration
The Power Xpert Gateway Minislot (PXGMS) UPS Card is a network connectivity device for the UPS that also
allows you to continuously and reliably monitor the UPSs in your Building Management System (BMS). The card
supports the Modbus protocol to integrate data from the UPS into your building management system software.
The PXGMS UPS Card has the following Modbus related features:
l RS-485 communication through an isolated Modbus interface (see Figure 55)

l Supports Modbus READ INPUT STATUS and READ INPUT REGISTER commands
l Two-wire Communication topology
l LEDs showing communication activity

Wiring the PXGMS UPS Card RS-485 Port

The PXGMS UPS Card provides an easy path for integrating the UPS into an RS-485 Modbus network and also
provides isolation of the communication between the UPS and the RS-485 Modbus network.
You will use the Modbus RTU interface connector to wire into the two-wire network.
NOTE The PXGMS UPS Card should be installed in the UPS prior to performing this
procedure.

Modbus Remote Terminal Unit (RTU) Configuration
Access to RTU Registers

See “Modbus Registers for TCP and RTU” on page 70 for information about accessing the Modbus registers.
Chapter 8 Modbus Registers for TCP and RTU
This chapter describes the UPS data that is available through the Modbus protocol. The UPS monitors several
parameters, such as voltage, current, power, and alarms. The value of each parameter is stored in a
corresponding Modbus data register.
The Power Xpert Gateway Minislot (PXGMS) UPS Card provides the ability to read the Modbus data registers
using either Ethernet network by using Modbus TCP/IP building management programs or the Modbus RTU
RS-485 serial interface to the building management system.
NOTE If your Modbus program requires one-based addressing, add a one to the register
addresses listed in Table 10 on page 69. For example, one-based addressing for the
vendor name would be 1033 (1032 + 1). One-based addressing is the default setting
for the PXGMS UPS Card.
Obtaining the Modbus Register Map

To view a list of the Modbus registers in your UPS:
1. Select Modbus TCP Register Maps or Modbus Serial Register Maps from the Documentation menu.
2. Select the hardware type from the Select a map to generate pull-down menu.
3. Most Modbus TCP and Modbus Serial clients automatically decrement addresses by one before using
them. If your client does not alter addresses in this way, clear the Use 1-based addressing check box.
4. Click View Register Map. A dialog box opens.
5. Click Open to view or Save to save the file.
NOTE The Modbus file is a comma-separated values (*.csv) file that can be opened in
Microsoft Excel software. Some computer configurations automatically open the
files in the Microsoft Excel software instead of prompting you to save the file.
6. If you select Save, select a location for the pxgms-modbus-uid-XXX.csv file, where XXX is the UnitID of
the requested map.
NOTE Some browsers leave a blank window open after you save or view the file. Close the
window.
Returning Modbus TCP Error Codes

By default, the PXGMS UPS Card returns a Modbus error code when it receives an incoming register/discrete/
coil READ request for an address that is not currently valid. To improve performance in some situations, you
can configure the card to disable this error response and instead return zero-filled data in all of the invalid
address ranges.
To change how error codes are returned:

1. Select Modbus TCP from the configuration menu.
2. Clear the Return (vs. zeros) error on unsupported read request check box to disable the error code or
select the check box to enable the error code.
3. Verify the Timeout setting.
Modbus Registers for TCP and RTU
NOTE The timeout setting determines how long the PXGMS UPS Card will wait for a
completed request message from the Master device.
4. Click Apply and then OK to save the setting.

5. Click Apply and then OK to save the setting.
Modbus Register Addressing

This section describes Modbus function codes, data formats, and data addressing.
Modbus Function Codes

The UPS registers are read using Modbus Function Codes (FC). For most UPS registers, FC 04 is used. For
alarms, FC 02 is used. The UPS supports the following hex function codes:
Table 8. Function Codes

FC Hex Description Use
01 0x01 Read Coil Status Supported for compatibility purposes;returns the same data as FC 02
02 0x02 Read Discrete Inputs Single input data, such as alarms and discrete contacts
03 0x03 Read Holding Registers Supported for compatibility purposes;returns the same data as FC 04
04 0x04 Read Input Registers Analog data (most string and numeric data types), such as voltage
05 0x05 Write Single Coil For future use
06 0x06 Write Single Register For future use
15 0x0F Write Multiple Coils For future use
16 0x10 Write Multiple Registers For future use
Data Formats
Modbus programs usually provide an option for viewing various data types. Refer to your Modbus program
documentation for detailed information on viewing data options.
A register is 16 bits (two bytes). The UPS supports the following data types:
l STRING – A string of ASCII characters (two per register). Consult the Size parameter to find the string's
length for a given entry (it is a multiple of two so that entries are register-aligned).
l FLOAT – A 32-bit IEEE754 floating point number. FLOATs are always two registers.
l UINT – An unsigned integer. Consult the Size parameter to find the integer's size (in bytes) for a given entry
(it is a multiple of two so that entries are register-aligned).
l INT – A signed integer. Consult the Size parameter to find the integer’s size (in bytes) for a given entry (it is
a multiple of two so that entries are register-aligned).
l TIME – The TIME type (ym dh ms) consists of six bytes specifying the year, month, day, hour, minutes, and
seconds. The bytes are stored in hexadecimal format. If your Modbus application displays the individual
bytes in a register, view the bytes using the decimal option. Otherwise, the bytes are best viewed by
displaying the two-byte register in a binary format and translating each byte to decimal.
For example, if today is May 17, 2010 and the time is 10:45 and 20 seconds, viewing each byte in decimal
would yield the following data, which is viewable as the year (10), month (05), day (17), hour (10),
minutes (45), and seconds (20):
10 05 17 10 45 20
See “Time or Date (FC 04)” on page 70 for more information.

l BOOL – A binary (Boolean) value of 0 or 1. BOOL is usually assigned to discrete input alarms.
Data Addressing
If a data type spans multiple registers (such as a FLOAT), lower addressed registers map to higher-order parts
of the value. Within each register, data is in most significant bit (MSB) first format.
NOTE 1 A Modbus register contains two bytes. Therefore, the number of registers
containing the information can be obtained by dividing the bytes by two. For
example, the vendor name in Table 10 on page 69 can be obtained by reading 32
Modbus registers starting at register 1032.
NOTE 2 If a register is not supported in a particular device, an exception response is

returned.
UPS Modbus TCP Unit ID Numbers

The Unit IDs associated with the Modbus registers apply to specific UPS load groups or power modules (see
Table 9).
The UPS has a Unit ID of 0, 1, 247, or 255, while UPS load groups or power modules within the UPS have Unit
IDs that range from 2 to 127 and 239 to 243 (for UPS load groups or power module data). Some data is available
at multiple Unit IDs as a work around for address limited Modbus software products.
If there is an optional Environmental Monitoring Probe (EMP) installed, use Unit ID 246, or 254 to obtain EMP
data. See “EMP (FC 04)” on page 70 for more information.

UPS Registers and Alarms

This section contains information for the UPS Registers (FC 04) and UPS Alarms (FC 02).
UPS Registers (FC 04)

Table 10 provides a partial list of data registers that are available from a UPS. Not all registers may be available
in your UPS or in selected UPS load groups.
To read the vendor name in the UPS, set the Modbus program to Unit ID 1 and register 1032:
IP: <IP address of UPS>

Unit ID: 1
Starting Register: 1032
Number of registers: 32
Function Code: 04
The UPS returns 32 registers containing up to 64 characters. There are two ASCII characters per register, so
the vendor name could be displayed as EATON.
To read the UPS output voltage from Phase C to Neutral, set the Modbus program to Unit ID 1 and register
4050:

Unit ID: 1
Number of Registers: 2
Function Code: 04
The UPS returns a floating point value of the output voltage from Phase C to Neutral (such as 120.7 volts) of
the UPS at the specified IP address.

UPS Alarms (FC 02)

Table 11 provides a partial list of example UPS alarms. Your UPS may have different alarms. UPS alarms are
not registers, but are discrete inputs and are read using FC 01 or FC 02.
The UPS monitors the condition of several parameters and can activate an alarm status if a parameter is out of
range. For example, if the utility power is too high or too low, the UPS can set the Utility Out of Limits alarm.
To read the UPS On Battery alarm, set the Modbus program to Unit ID 1 and discrete address 1148:

Unit ID: 1
Starting Address: 1148
Number of Addresses: 1
Function Code: 02
The UPS returns a BOOL value (0 or 1), indicating if the alarm is active or not active. A return value of 0 (false)
indicates an inactive alarm (the utility input is within limits). A return value of 1 (true) indicates an active alarm
(the utility input is out of limits).

EMP (FC 04)
NOTE See “Configuring EMP Settings” on page 38 for more information.
The optional EMP for the UPS can measure temperature and humidity. Because the device can be located
outside the UPS, the reference is to auxiliary data. In addition, it contains two connections for monitoring the
condition of auxiliary input contacts, such as a door switch. See Table 12 for a list of EMP registers.
An exception code is returned if the EMP is not installed.
To read the temperature at the UPS, set the Modbus program to Unit ID 254 and register address 12028:

Unit ID: 254
Function Code: 04

Time or Date (FC 04)

Some UPS models support a time and/or date function. This format has a DATE data type and contains six
bytes. Each byte represents the year, month, day, hour, minutes, or seconds (see page 67 for more
information).
To read the UPS date and time, set the Modbus program to Unit ID 1 and register 12203:

Unit ID: 1
Function Code: 04
The UPS would return three registers containing hexadecimal data in the ym dh ms format (for example,
May 17, 2007 at 10:45 and 20 seconds).
07 05 11 0A 2D 14
Viewing each byte in decimal would yield the following data, which is viewable as the year (07), month (05),
day (17), hour (10), minutes (45), and seconds (20):
07 05 17 10 45 20
Viewing each byte as two-byte unsigned integers would yield the following data:
1797 4362 11540
Viewing each byte as binary would yield the following data:
