Publication 1336 FORCE–5.13 –– September, 1998
To communicate with external devices such as terminals, the PLC
Communications Adapter Board uses the SCANport
communications protocol. You can access the SCANport
capabilities without doing any special configuration. However, if
you plan to use SCANport, you can make some changes to the
default configuration to customize the way SCANport works for you.
Chapter 5, Understanding the Resources of Your Drive, contains
information about SCANport and how you can change the default
configuration.
The PLC Communications Adapter Board is shipped pre-configured.
The pre-configured (default) links assume channel A is defined for
DH+ and channel B for RIO. Some of the inputs and outputs to the
board are linked to a pre–defined signal. Figure 2–4 shows the 1336
FORCE standard configuration for the PLC Communications
Adapter Board. You can change this and re–configure the drive on a
per-application basis.
Note: When a link is set up, the data is transferred from the
configured source to a sink every millisecond.
