Using the 160-IB1 on InterBus
The purpose of this chapter is to provide an example of the steps
necessary to use the 160-IB1 on an InterBus network. As InterBus is a
3
rd
party network, we will be using an SST-IBS-SLC scanner to act as
a master for InterBus, residing in an A-B SLC500 rack.
The SST scanner sends I/O messages periodically to a Bulletin
160-IB1 to start and stop the drive and control its speed. Additionally
the Bulletin 160-IB1 responds to these I/O messages by sending
status messages and speed feedback back to the scanner. In this way
the ladder logic program in the A-B SLC500 PLC can control the
drive.
The Bulletin 160-IB1 also supports an InterBus telegram which can
be used to configure or read parameters from the drive.
This chapter contains the following information:
• How to create an InterBus network configuration frame.
• A sample ladder logic program to control the Bulletin 160 SSC
using I/O messaging
• A description of the InterBus PCP telegram.
• A sample ladder logic program to execute the PCP telegram
The SST-IBS-SLC scanner for the SLC500 is used in the examples in
this manual. However the concepts demonstrated in the examples
apply to any InterBus master.
Required Tools The following tools are needed to complete this chapter.
• Bulletin 160 series C equipped with a 160-IB1 InterBus
communication module
• SLC500 processor with a digital input card to issue start & stop
commands
• Phoenix IBS CMD SWT G4 software to configure the scanner
and a null modem RS232 serial cable.
