4.5.1 Command
Control
Command Control will give you the ability to issue a command already defined in
the master command list (but disabled) and enable that command for a single
pass. Command Control has a distinct advantage over event command in that it
will still return an error code for that command as setup in
MCM.CONFIG.PortX.CmdErrPtr. Up to 6 commands may be enabled at the
same time. The configuration of the command control is done using the following
object in the ladder logic.
The following configuration will place 6 commands into the command queue.
MCM.CONFIG.Port1MasterCmd[0]- MCM.CONFIG.Port1MasterCmd[5] will be
enabled with this configuration. Error codes for each individual command will be
returned into the Error Status table.
