Operating Instructions COMPAX-M / -SPLC data interface (function not available with COMPAX 1000SL)1568.6.2 PLC data interface (function not available with COMPAX 1000SL)This universal data interface allows data to be exchanged with all PLC types,regardless of manufacturer and origin. You will need five binary inputs and outputsfor this process. These can be divided into four data lines (BCD format) and onecontrol line.♦ Direct commands♦ Absolute and relative positioning commands (POSA, POSR)♦ Specification of acceleration time and velocity (ACCEL, SPEED)♦ Password enabling or modifying data record indicator (GOTO)♦ Queries of status S1...S12 (actual values).♦ Modifying parameters P1...P49 with defined parameter acceptance (VP).The PLC data interface is activated by setting P18 (P18="1" or "3". When it is "3",the "Fast start" function I15 is also switched on) and by switching off and on. Thefollowing binary inputs and outputs are assigned:Input/output MeaningI7 (X8/7) Control line "UBN"I8 (X8/8) Data bit 20I9 (X10/1) Data bit 21I10 (X10/2) Data bit 22I11 (X10/3) Data bit 23O7 (X8/15) Control line "RDY"O8 (X8/16) Data bit 20O9 (X10/9) Data bit 21O10 (X10/10) Data bit 22O11 (X10/11) Data bit 23O7...O11 are no longer available for the OUTPUT command. The GOSUBEXT and GOTO EXT commands are no longer permitted when P18="1".Instead use the GOTO command.Each transfer begins with the start letter "E" and ends with the end letter "F". Inbetween them is the command. This consists of two BCD numbers (called functioncode) for the command type and of numerical values for position, velocity,acceleration time, etc. The numerical values can contain special figures:FigureBCD codedMeaning"D" ≡ "1101" Negative prefix"0" ≡ "0000" Positive prefix"C" ≡ "1100" Decimal point"A" ≡ "1010" Assignment "="Use status S29 to e.g. track the interface data via the front plate display.Functionsavailable:Activation:
