32 ULTRA Series
Publication 1398-2.0 - August 1999
Host Mode
The ULTRA 100/200 drives host command protocol provides optional drive
configuration using the drive serial communications interface. This powerful
feature allows your controller to access all of the drive digital controls using
sequences of ASCII characters. The protocol includes error checking to
ensure the integrity of the transmitted commands.
In installations that have multiple axes, up to 32 ULTRA 100/200 drives can
be addressed by a host computer. These drives communicate with the host
computer using a four-wire RS-485 serial interface. The host command
protocol includes specific drive addressing, which allows the host to
communicate with all the connected drives concurrently.
