Ladder Logic Example
The following diagram illustrates the ladder logic that executes the Start Network Services command block.
This example assumes that the command block is located in V memory starting at V500 and that command slot
1 is used for the command.

Rung 1 loads the location of the Command Block (V500) into Command Slot 1 (WY5). Once the control relay is
on, it seals off the command. The load command will be bypassed on subsequent scans.
Rung 2 sets the C
OMMAND TRIGGER (WY4.3) and COMMAND MODE (WY4.2) when the NET CFG bit (WX1.3) is on and
the COMMAND BUSY bit (WX2.3) is off. When the logic sees the 2572-B raise COMMAND BUSY (WX2.3), it lowers
the COMMAND MODE (WY4.2) and COMMAND TRIGGER (WY4.3), completing the coupled mode cycle.
The NET CFG bit will be raised by the 2572-B at any time the network configuration parameters are not set.
Therefore this logic will re-execute the Start Network Services command if the 2572-B is restarted for any
reason.
NOTE:
Do not use retentive relays in this logic. Proper operation of this logic depends on the control relay
transitioning from off to on when power is cycled.
