7-24 Using Multi-Drive Mode
Important: Due to PLC-5 controller limitations, explicit messaging
cannot be performed in Multi-Drive mode.
This example ladder logic program demonstrates using Multi-Drive
mode with five drives. See Figure 7.2
or Figure 7.3 for a system layout
diagram.
Function of the Example Program
This example program enables you to:
• View status information from the drives such as Ready, Faulted, At
Speed, and Feedback.
• Control the drives using various Logic Command bits (Stop, Start,
etc.) and Reference.
Main Routine
The Main Routine reads the network Input Image from the scanner,
initiates Drive 0 through Drive 4 control subroutines (U:3 through U:7
files), and writes the network Output Image to the scanner. See
Figure 7.17
.
