HW1486105 Function Overview Function Overview The mutual wait function synchronizes job execution between different controllers. When the mutual wait instruction (RSYNC) is executed on different controllers, the controllers to which the instruction first arrives will wait until the mutual wait instruction (RSYNC) is executed on the other controllers. HW1486105 11/20...

When the mutual wait function is used, the communication by the Ethernet is executed. Set the LAN interface by referring to chapter 6.20.3 “Connection with the YRC1000” in “YRC1000 GENERAL OPERATOR’S MANUAL (RE- CSO-A051)” or chapter 6.19.3 “Connection with the YRC1000micro” in “YRC1000micro OPERATOR’S MANUAL (RE-CSO-A058)”.

HW1486105 Mutual Wait Instruction (RSYNC) Instruction Registration Method Mutual Wait Instruction (RSYNC) Instruction Registration Method The mutual wait instruction (RSYNC) can be selected from “CONTROL” of the instruction list when the language level is “standard” or higher. Syntax RSYNC RSYNO= Mutual wait target No.

HW1486105 Suspend Suspend Turn ON controller special input signal #40563 and the controller can be temporarily suspended from being a mutual wait target. If the suspended controller was a mutual wait target, controllers on which the mutual wait instruction (RSYNC) was executed will terminate the instruction promptly and execute the next instruction.
Page 17
HW1486105 Precautions Precautions Note the following precautions when using the mutual wait function. • Once the mutual wait instruction (RSYNC) is executed, the mutual wait target controllers will be notified of the execution state. The execution state is not canceled even if execution is stopped, such as due to a hold.
