Recently I had a very simple project to do. Frist the application. We have a 1336 drive that is talking to a PLC5000, which is controlling a conveyor. It is getting all it's communications thru SCANport. My job was to make it possible for the operators to reset faults from a pushbutton on their panelview. This was done very easily, because someone had already mapped out the I/O in RSNetworx. There was already a message in the panelview telling them when the drive was faulted. I had no problem finding in the manual where the input functions to the drive were located. When I look under SCANport capabilities in the manual, the input bits are all listed. My question is, where do you find the output bits for the drive to talk to SCANport. Someone else already mapped those out too, and found out that bit 7 is the drive faulted output bit, but I'll be darned if I can find it. Anyone point me in the right direction here? If nothing else, let me know what chapter to dig in in the drive manual. Anything could help. Thanks in advance.
