| Now, to the PLC and communications aspect of the new SureStep drives. We will need to use Port 2 of the DL-05, -06, the D0-DCM, 250-1, 260 and 350 cpu's, and our new Click plc. | |||||||||||||||||
| These have the capability of Non-Sequence (ASCII) communications. We can also use Ports 1 and 2 of the 450 processor. We strongly recommend the use of the 06, 260 and Click | |||||||||||||||||
| plcs, as their advanced ASCII instructions make the data handling much easier. Only the D0-DCM can be used for ASCII communications, the other DCM modules CANNOT be used. | |||||||||||||||||
| All communications will be RS-232, which means each port can only connect to one drive. However, for the D0-05 and D0-06, we can add an additional DCM module ( 1 for 05, 4 for 06) | |||||||||||||||||
| and each DCM could connect to one drive, potentially meaning that 5 drives could be connected to a single D0-06. | |||||||||||||||||
| ANY and ALL motion commands / sequences should be tested first by using the SCL Terminal Utility. By stepping thru your desired operation, you can verify each that each | |||||||||||||||||
| step works successfully. This is how we at Tech Support will troubleshoot any problems, it will be done thru SureStep Pro and the SCL Terminal Utility. | |||||||||||||||||
| Once this has been completed, then it is time to move to programming the PLC. There are several example programs for the Fx modes of Positioning. | |||||||||||||||||
| To verify the output stringsof the PRINT / PRINTV / SEND examples, we strongly recommend the use of our programming cables and the use of a PC with a Terminal Emulator | |||||||||||||||||
| such as HyperTerm (included in versions of Windows EXCEPT Vista) or RealTerm. | |||||||||||||||||
| For the D0-05 and the Click, use the D2-DSCBL and for the D0-06,D0-DCM, 250/-1 and 260, use the D2-DSCBL-1. | |||||||||||||||||
| A cable will have to be made to go from the port 2 of the PLC's to the comm port of the drive. It is possible to use either of our programming cables, the D2-DSCBL ( 05 and Click) or the | |||||||||||||||||
| D2-DSCBL-1 ( 06, 250, 260) with the addition of a null modem adapter and the supplied comm cable for the drive, to make a cable to test communications to the drive. | |||||||||||||||||
