Interbus Communications Module
6.3 Using Logic Command/Status
When enabled, the Logic Command/Status word is always word 0 in
the I/O image. The
Logic Command
is a 16-bit word of control
produced by the scanner and consumed by the module. The
Logic
Status
is a 16-bit word of status produced by the module and
consumed by the scanner.
This manual contains the bit definitions for compatible products
available at the time of publication in Appendix C, Logic Command/
Status Words. For other products, refer to their documentation.
6.4 Using Reference/Feedback
When enabled, Reference/Feedback always begins at word 1 in the
I/O image. The
Reference
(16 bits or 32 bits) is produced by the
controller and consumed by the module. The
Feedback
(16 bits or
32 bits) is produced by the module and consumed by the controller.
The size of the Reference/Feedback is determined by the product
and displayed in Ref/Fdbk Size (3) in the module.
6.5 Using Datalinks
A Datalink is a mechanism used by SP600 drives to transfer data to
and from the controller. Datalinks allow a parameter value to be
changed without using an Explicit Message.
When enabled, each Datalink consumes either two 16-bit or 32-bit
words in both the input and output image depending on its size. The
size of Datalinks (16-bit words or 32-bit words) is determined by the
drive and displayed in Datalink Size (4) in the module.
6.5.1 Rules for Using Datalinks
•
Each set of Datalink parameters in an SP600 drive can be used
by only one module. If more than one module is connected to a
single drive, multiple modules must not try to use the same
Datalink.
•
Parameter settings in the drive determine the data passed
through the Datalink mechanism. Refer to the documentation for
your product.
