DSM314 Communications Request Instructions

The Communications Request Instruction
The next figure shows the Communications Request (COMM REQ) instruction. The IN input
contains the address of the first word of the command block. The SYSID input contains the
rack and slot number (rack 00, slot 07) of the DSM314 targeted by this COMM REQ. The
TASK input is always zero for the DSM314. The FT output connects to a coil (%M00295) that
will be energized if a fault is detected.

Verifying the Data Sent to Parameter 1
In this example, the value in DSM Parameter 1 is critical because it specifies a move distance
that, if incorrect, could result in machine damage. So, the logic in the following two rungs
verifies that Parameter 1 received the correct value. If the value is not correct, contacts (not
shown) from output coil “VERIFY” in th
e second rung will prevent the DSM from producing
motion.
