NOTE: Bit 0 is not used. Also, the SCANport device number is
determined by the SCANport connection it is plugged into.

If a bit is set to 0 for a mask parameter, the control function is
disabled. If a bit is set to 1, the control function is enabled.

There are three levels of masking control functions:

Direction
Start
Jog
Reference
Clear Fault
Reset Drive

Port Enable

Local

The Port Enable mask can enable or disable all of the device’s
control functions. If the Port Enable mask is set to enable the control
functions, the control is passed to the Local Mask. The Local Mask
can allow a device to take full control of a drive. If the device does
not have full control, then the individual masks can take effect.

Do not set (clear) the appropriate bit in
either parameter 440 or 441.

Represents:

1

SCANport device 1

2

SCANport device 2

3

SCANport device 3

4

SCANport device 4

5

SCANport device 5

For example, if you want a fault condition to be reported if
communication is lost with device 3, you would set bit 3 of
parameter 440.
