Packet Trace: Control Mode Setting
This document details how to control the pump mode and setpoint (e.g., set constant pressure to 1.5m).
Overview
Control operations use Class 10 SET commands.
- Sub ID: 0x5600 (Control)
- Obj ID: 0x0601 (Setpoint/Mode Setting)
1. Set Mode and Setpoint
Setting a mode involves two steps:
1. Setting the Control Mode (Obj 0x0601 with mode-specific payload)
2. Setting the Setpoint value (Obj 0x0601 with float32 value)
Step 1: Set Control Mode
Payload format: 2F 01 00 00 07 00 [Flag] [ModeByte] [Suffix(4)]
- Flag: 0x00 (Run/Start), 0x01 (Stop)
- ModeByte: 0x00 (Pressure), 0x02 (Speed), 0x08 (Flow), 0x19 (DHW), 0x1B (Temp)
Example: Set Constant Pressure Mode
Step 2: Set Setpoint
Example: Set Constant Pressure to 1.5 meters
1. Convert meters to Pascals: 1.5 m * 9806.65 ≈ 14710.0 Pa
2. Encode as Float (Big-Endian): 14710.0 -> 0x46 65 D7 E6

Step 3: Receive Acknowledgment
The pump responds with a Class 10 acknowledgment.
Breakdown:
- 24: Response
- 34: OpSpec (SET Response)
- 56 00: Sub ID
- 06 01: Obj ID
- No error bits set in OpSpec
4. Control Mode Identifiers
The ModeByte and Suffix are used in Step 1 to select the operating mode.
| Mode | ModeByte | Suffix |
|---|---|---|
| Constant Pressure | 0x00 |
45 65 70 00 |
| Constant Speed | 0x02 |
45 65 70 00 |
| Constant Flow | 0x08 |
45 65 70 00 |
| DHW Cycle Time | 0x19 |
38 C6 76 EF |
| Temperature Range | 0x1B |
39 67 70 00 |
5. Transaction Locking
Critical: Because the pump processes one command at a time, you must ensure no other commands are sent while waiting for the ACK.
