GV3000/SE AC Drive ControlNet Network Communication Option Board
To configure the MSG instruction, you must enter information about the data’s
location, size etc. Use table 4.6 to help you.
4.3.2 About MSG Instruction Timing
When a Typed Read message is sent to the drive, the response is sent to the PLC-5
programmable controller in under 20 msec. When a Typed Write message is sent to
the drive, the message is first processed by the drive. Therefore, 100-200 msec may
elapse before the response is returned to the PLC-5 programmable controller. These
times are applicable only when the network update time and unscheduled traffic
bandwidth are not limiting factors.
4.3.3 About the Files You Can Access
When you send an unscheduled message to the drive, the data table address you
specify for the target device determines what drive information you want to access.
The data table address is in the form of:
Nff:eee
where: N specifies the file type as integer, ff is the file number, and eee is the
element number (word).
The GV3000/SE ControlNet Option Board supports these file numbers:
•
N10 – Drive parameters (read and write)
•
N11 – Drive display data (read only)
•
N12 – Drive reference and feedback data (read and write)
•
N20 – Status of the most recent write parameter command (read only)
