Example 2 Controlling the slave boards using the internal events of the master board
When the master board outputs its internal event (interrupt) signal to the slave boards, they can start
operation in sync with that signal.
(1) Connect the boards with synchronization control cables.
(2) Specify the master and slaves using the software.
(3) Assign the connectors so that the master board outputs the internal event signal.
(4) Set the signal from the master board as the slave start condition.
(5) Start the slave boards first, then the master board.
Connecting the synchronization control connectors
(CN2 and CN3)
The CNT-3208M-PE has synchronization control connectors (CN2 and CN3) to accept synchronization
control cables for synchronous operations of two or more boards.
Connection method
For synchronous operations of two or more boards, connect them with synchronization control cables.
Use a synchronization control cable to connect the CN2 of a smaller ID board to the CN3 of the board
with a greater board ID number. Do not use any cable other than the supplied one.
