Using I/O Messaging
The terms input and output are defined from the scanner’s point of view.
Therefore, Output I/O is data that is produced by the scanner and
consumed by the EtherNet/IP adapter. Input I/O is status data that is
produced by the adapter and consumed as input by the scanner. The I/O
image table will vary based on the:
• Configuration of the Operating Mode Switch (SW1) on the adapter
and (Parameter 22 - [DSI I/O Cfg]). The image table always uses
consecutive words starting at word 0.
Figure 5.1
illustrates an example of a Single drive I/O image (16-bit words).
Figure 5.1 Single Drive Example of I/O Image
Single mode is the typical configuration, where one node consists of a
PowerFlex 40 drive with a 22-COMM-E adapter.
For Multi-Drive mode, where one node can consist of up to 5 drives,
refer to
Chapter 7
,
Using Multi-Drive Mode
.
When enabled, the Logic Command/Status word is always word 0 in the
I/O image. The Logic Command is a 16-bit word of control produced by
the scanner and consumed by the adapter. The Logic Status is a 16-bit
word of status produced by the adapter and consumed by the scanner.
