Page 15: Writing To The 1560-Mbp
Chapter 4 — Programming Considerations Programming Considerations Transferring data to/from the 1560-MBP is performed either using the standard MSTR instruction, or using the Peer Cop functionality available in some Schneider processors. (Note that Peer Cop functionality is somewhat limited. See Appendix C.) Specifically, the following functionality is supported: MSTR Type 1 - Write data MSTR Type 2 - Read data... - Page 16 Chapter 4 — Programming Considerations Word Slave 33 Slave 37 Slave 48 Global Data Sent from Host (2 words per slave) Relationship between Global Data from Host and 1560-MBP Control & Reference Words: The diagram shows an example if Slave 37 was configured for Global Data Control and where the Control/Reference words would come from in the Global Data from a Host.

Page 18: Host Issued Write Commands - Mstr Type 1
Chapter 4 — Programming Considerations In the example (at the bottom of the previous page) the 1560-MBP responding at Node 37 would retrieve its control and reference values from the 8th and 9th words of the Global Data block. In the Host PLC we have placed this data in registers 40418 and 40419, as this corresponds to the 8th and 9th position in the Global Data packet. -

Appendix B — Device Specific Hints Appendix B Device Specific Hints SMC Dialogue Plus The SMC Dialogue Plus does not support Datalinks, therefore the configuration of SW1-7 and 8 should not include any of the Datalinks Enabled. If a Datalink is enabled, the SCANport Status LED will toggle, indicating an error in the SCANport communications. - Page 32 Appendix B — Device Specific Hints Setting up the Adaptor I/O - Data In Selects the parameters which will be made accessible for configuration/ writing from the 1560-MBP.

Page 33: Single Drive Peer Cop Application Example
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. - Page 34 Appendix C — Peer Cop Example The 1560 MBP-1560 Dip Switch 2 Configuration is as follows: Switch Position Description The Host PLC (984) must also have its dip switches set to Node Address 7 and a proper Modbus Plus cable connected between the PLC and the 1560-MBP.
- Page 35 Appendix C — Peer Cop Example This configuration indicates that PLC words 40100 through 40131 will be sent in Node 7 (this PLC) Global Data. Since the 1560-MBP is config- ured to look at Node 7 as the Host, words 40110 will be the Drive Control word, and 40111 will be the Reference to the drive (The remain- ing registers are for 1560-MBP units located at nodes 1-5 (words 40100- 40109), and 7-16 (words 40112-40131).
- Page 36 Appendix C — Peer Cop Example The Global Input Data from Node 6, starting with offset 1 for a length of 9 words, will be assigned to PLC registers 40200 through 40209. These are mapped as follows: PLC RefOffset 40200 Offset 1 40201 Offset 2...
- Page 37 Appendix C — Peer Cop Example This allows a coil to control a specific function in the drive. You could use bit manipulation instructions operating on word 40100 (such as MBIT), but it is far simpler to just assign coils to specific functions, and then move these coils into the Control Word.
- Page 38 Appendix C — Peer Cop Example Contents 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.

Cables of up to 10 meters (33 feet) can be connected from the SCANport device to the 1560-MBP. If a Port Expander is used, the cable length from the master to the Port Expander must be subtraced from the cable length used to connect the device to the expander (B1 + C = max 10 meters).

Appendix E — SCANport Datalinks Contents Appendix E SCANport Datalink Operation (Excerpted from A-B Publication 1203-5.2 - May 1995) In the following discussion, the term ‘Datalink’ is used extensively. When configuring some SCANport devices, the term ‘Adaptor I/O’ is used in place of Datalink. A Datalink is a type of pointer used by some SCANport devices to transfer information between a SCANport communication interface (such as the 1560-MBP) and a SCANport device (such as a VFD, SMP3, etc.). -
