TLDR
In this paper, a programmable controller linking system is described, where a plurality of programmable controllers are connected to one master controller MC and sequences of the programs are programmed in used of addresses representing optional input/output memory areas MA1 to MAN.Abstract:
In a programmable controller linking system, a plurality of programmable controllers PC1,PC2 ...PCN are connected to one master controller MC and sequences of the programmable controllers are programmed in used of addresses representing optional input/output memory areas MA1 to MAN. Link tables are prepared by automatically alotting input/output memory areas MA1 to MAN of the programmable controllers PC1,PC2,...PCN, to the inner relays, with respect to addresses of the respective programmable controllers PC1,PC2...PCN except for the subject programmable controller,the thus prepared link tables 2 are registered in the master controller MC, and all the link tables are coilected from the respective programmable controllers in the master controller MC at the link starting time to prepare an editorial link table by collecting common portions of the collected link tables. The input/output side address tables are provided for the master controller MC and the respective programmable controllers, respectively, so that the data is periodically accessed and linked between the master controller MC and the respective programmable controllers in accordance with the input/output side address tables.read more
