Appendix C — Peer Cop Example
Addressing
Pay careful attention to the dip switch address configuration. EACH 1560-MBP on the network must have it own unique address. This MUST also be different from the PLC address. ALL drives should in general have their Host address set to the PLC ís address.
Hints
Note that the Stop bit is set to 1 to stop drive. If communication is lost, the PLC is unable to remotely stop the drive. In general, when controlling drive functions, SW2-8 should be set ON so that the drive will fault on loss of Modbus Plus communications. In addition, when drives are controlling hazardous operations, a hard wired interlock to the drive should be provided.Other devices may be used on the same Modbus Plus network, but the user must pay close attention to any use of Global Data to insure compatibility.
