350 Drive-to-drive link
Datasets
Drive-to-drive communication uses DDCS (Distributed Drives Communication
System) messages and dataset tables for data transfer. Each drive has a dataset
table of 256 datasets, numbered 0…255. Each dataset contains 48 data bits.
By default, datasets 0…15 and 200…255 are reserved for the drive firmware;
datasets 16…199 are available for the user application program.
The contents of the two firmware communication datasets can be configured freely
with pointer parameters and/or application programming with the DriveSPC tool. The
16-bit control word and 32-bit drive-to-drive reference 1 are transmitted from one
dataset on a 500-microsecond (by default) time level; drive-to-drive reference 2 (32
bits) is transmitted from the other dataset on a 2-millisecond (by default) time level.
The followers can be configured to use the drive-to-drive commands and references
with the following parameters:
The communication status of the followers can be supervised by a periodic
supervision message from the master to the individual followers (see parameters
57.04 Follower mask 1 and 57.05 Follower mask 2).
Drive-to-drive function blocks can be used in the DriveSPC tool to enable additional
communication methods (such as follower-to-follower messaging) and to modify the
use of datasets between the drives. See separate document Application guide:
Application programming for ACS850 drives (3AUA0000078664 [English]).
