2.2.2 Data Exchange Example
In the following example, a temperature regulator on the sub-network exchanges information with a
PLC on the higher level network, via the internal memory buffers in the Anybus Communicator.
The Temperature Regulator has two
registers, holding the Setpoint Temperature
and the Actual Temperature respectively.
The PLC exchange data between the internal
PLC memory and the slaves (in this case the
ABC) on the EtherNet/IP network.
The ABC copies the Output Register of
the Temperature Regulator to the Input-
Data area.
The ABC copies the Temperature-
Setpoint from the Output Data area to
the Input Register in the Temperature-
Regulator.
The PLC Memory associated with
the ABC is exchanged;
Data from the Input Data area is copied to
PLC Input Memory, and PLC Output
Memory is copied to the Output Data
area.
