Appendix C — Peer Cop Example

Appendix C

Single Drive Peer Cop Application Example

Overview

This example shows how to configure a PLC to control and monitor a single drive using Peer Cop. Note that this example may easily be extended to 16 drives on one network. Additional sets of 16 drives may be controlled by adding Modbus Plus Network Option Modules to the PLC.

In this example, a 984-785E is connected to a 1560-MBP controlling a 1336Plus drive. It is strongly suggested that the user initially follow this application closely and then modify the application to suit his requirements. This should minimize the effort required to get your implementation up and running.

Hardware Configuration

In this application, we have made the following assumptions:

984 Processor Node Address

7

1560-MBP Configuration

 

Node Address

6

Data Links Enabled

A, B, C, D

Global Control

Enabled

Comm Loss Fault

Disabled

The 1560-MBP Dip Switch 1 Configuration is as follows:

Switch

Position

Description

1

Off

Set the Global Data Host PLC to Node 7

2

On

This tells the 1560-MBP which PLC is
