Parker Hannifin GEM6K Switch User Manual


 
Program
Interaction
After the connection is established, mapping has been set up, and polling enabled, the 6K starts
exchanging data automatically with the PLC. Here is how to:
Write a binary variable to the PLC
: Write a value to one of the
VARB
variables in the
NTMPWB
mapping. The new data is written to the binary file during the next poll.
Write an integer variable to the PLC
: Write a value to one of the
VARI
variables in the
NTMPWI
mapping. The new data is written to the integer file during the next poll.
Read a binary variable from the PLC
: The
VARB
variables in the
NTMPRB
mapping
correspond to the values in the binary file in the PLC.
Read an integer variable from the PLC
: The
VARI
variables in the
NTMPRI
mapping
correspond to the values in the integer file in the PLC.
Example
VARB100 = HAB79 ; Element 3 in file 10 of the AB PLC will be equal to VARB100
if(VARB106 = B1111111111111111) ; VARB106 will be equal to variable 7 in
; file 10 of the AB PLC
if(VARI129 = 17) ; Element 6 in file 20 of the AB PLC will be equal to VARI129
VARI121 = 17 ; Element 4 in file 20 of the AB PLC will be equal to VARI121
