Using Unscheduled Transfers
Use the unscheduled transfer portion of the network update time (NUT) to:
•
read and write drive parameters that are not time-critical
•
read drive display data
•
read and write drive reference and feedback data that are not time-critical
•
read the status of Typed Write messages.
In a PLC-5, you can use the MSG instruction to initiate unscheduled transfers.
4.3.1 Programming the MSG Instruction in a PLC-5
By including the PLC-5 MSG instruction in your application program you can read data
from the drive and write data to the drive during the unscheduled transfer time. You
can have up to four MSG instructions enabled at the same time.
Figure 4.1 shows an example of an MSG instruction in a PLC-5.
