PLC
FlexLoader Vision and Master communicates via a network to special memory
locations in the PLC. The communication consists of commands (such as
start/stop/selection of detail), and some alarm monitoring. The information is located
in the PLC memory through definition in the user interface of FlexLoader Vision.
For information about memory cell types in the PLC memory (byte, word, double
word), see the table above.
Robot
It is possible to allow an external PLC to be Master for FlexLoader Vision via the
robot. This means that the external PLC can stop, start and change detail in
FlexLoader Vision. The robot acts as an intermediary to get it to work. The following
signals can be exchanged between the robot and the PLC.
Note that both background modules for the Slave function through the robot and
program module must be called PVSLAVE for FlexLoader Vision to communicate
correctly. PVSLAVE is available as a standard module.
