Addressing
Pay careful attention to the dip switch address configuration. EACH
1560-MBP on the network must have it own unique address. This
MUST also be different from the PLC address. ALL drives should in
general have their Host address set to the PLC ís address.
Hints
Note that the Stop bit is set to 1 to stop drive. If communication is lost,
the PLC is unable to remotely stop the drive. In general, when
controlling drive functions, SW2-8 should be set ON so that the drive will
fault on loss of Modbus Plus communications. In addition, when drives
are controlling hazardous operations, a hard wired interlock to the drive
should be provided.Other devices may be used on the same Modbus
Plus network, but the user must pay close attention to any use of Global
Data to insure compatibility.
