DSM314 to Host Controller Interface 144
Note: The OUT_1A, B, C, D bits will not control the faceplate outputs unless the associated
Output Bits configuration is set for host controller Control. Refer to Chapter 4 for
configuration information.
3.13 OUT3_A, B, C, D Output Control / Configurable CTL Bit Source. Each axis connector
has a differential 5-vdc output that is suitable for driving 5v TTL or CMOS loads. The
OUT3_A, OUT3_B, OUT3_C and OUT3_D Output Control %Q bits control the state
of the associated output, but only if the associated Output Bits configuration is set
for PLC Control. Refer to Chapter 4 for configuration information.
For each axis the following connector terminals are assigned:
Note: The OUT_3A, B, C, D bits will not control the faceplate outputs unless the associated
Output Bits configuration is set for PLC Control. Refer to Chapter 4 for configuration
information.
These %Q bits are also available as sources for configurable CTL bits, independent of
the Output Bits configuration. Refer to Chapter 4 for information on configuring the
CTL01-CTL24 bit sources.
3.14 Enable Follower. When this bit is set and the Follower Enabled %I status bit indicates
the Follower is enabled, motion commanded by the external or internal master will
act as an input to the follower loop. An optional Follower Trigger bit may be
configured to initiate follower motion. When a Follower Trigger is used, Enable
Follower must be ON for the trigger condition to be tested. Clearing Enable Follower
disconnects the follower loop from the master source. Jog, Move at Velocity, and
Execute Program n commands will be allowed regardless of the state of Enable
Follower. When the Follower is enabled, Jog, Move at Velocity, or Execute Program
n commands will be superimposed on the master velocity or position command.
Find Home is not allowed unless Enable Follower is cleared. Refer to Chapter 8 for
additional information. This bit is only used by follower mode.
3.15 Select Follower Master Source. This bit switches the follower master axis source
from Follower Master Source 1 (bit OFF) to Follower Master Source 2 (bit ON). The
Follower Master sources are configurable as Commanded Position or Actual Position
from any of the 4 axes.
