3.4.2 Gateway Control Signals (Common for All Operation Modes)
When operating the system with Fieldbus, the axes are controlled via Gateway of RCP6S.
The top 2 words of input and output in each operation mode are the signals gateway control and
status monitoring.
(n is the top word address for each PLC input and output between
RCP6S GW and PLC)
PLC → RCP6S GW (PLC Output) RCP6S GW → PLC (PLC Input)
