Programming PeerĆtoĆPeer Communication
Programming PLC-3 family controllers for peer-to-peer communication
requires that the ladder program in the:
master transfers the appropriate data to its output file
receiving slave knows the proper use for each word in its input file
The controller automatically handles the actual data transfer. Each slave’s
input file must be equal to or larger than the master’s output file.
Otherwise, a peer-to-peer communication minor fault occurs.
Figure 3.3 shows an example of the ladder rungs that transfer data to
output file FO001 in the master controller. The rungs that move data into
the output file are unconditional. If they are conditioned, “old” data
transfers whenever the rung conditions are false, because the transfer
occurs regardless of whether the output file is updated.
