I think I have run into one more little snag...I am able to read all parameters over 250 with no problem now (reading from N151) but when I try to write, nothing happens. The control returns no error and acts as though it is correctly writing, but when I check the parameter, it is unchanged. All parameters under 250 (on register N150) get updated no problem, but when I try to write to N151, nothing happens!

Time to get your hands dirty with a serial analyzer. Download the freeware version of HHD Software's Serial Monitor.

Post the data exchange between your Automated Solutions software and the 22-SCM-232.

Run a Serial Port Monitor session with the HHD analyzer, configured for a "Request View". This will show you the requests from the AS software and the responses from the 22-SCM-232. Capture and post a couple of these exchanges while reading a value below N150:251 and another one reading a value from N151:x.
I like the Export at HTML format that the HHD software can do, which shows the request and response data in red and blue. You could also ZIP and post the Session capture file (*.ms2).
Although I'm pretty good at decoding DF1 protocol, it would be best if you can accompany these captures with the address the software is reading at the time.

Although I'm pretty good at decoding DF1 protocol, it would be best if you can accompany these captures with the address the software is reading at the time.
Here is the output, I read the following address (in order):
N150:249
N150:250
N151:70
N151:71
I made screen captures of both the output (which you see below) and the output from the test program I was using, if you would like to see those too.

Excellent !
This data capture shows the Automated Solutions driver doing precisely what I expect it to do. It's using the well-defined DF1 function code 0xA2 to read SLC-500 addresses.

Can you capture the Automated Solutions driver attempting to read N150:321, which it evidently would not do properly before ?

It would be interesting to see an N151 write sequence also, since that is the current trouble spot.

It looks to me like the N151 write doesn't have a correct transmission terminator on the end of the string. Try an N150 write and see how it comes back.
