Turbo PMAC On-line Command Specification 266

Function: Report port’s currently addressed motor

Scope: Port specific

Syntax: #

This command causes Turbo PMAC to return the number of the motor currently addressed for the

communications port over which this command is sent.

This is the motor that will act on subsequent motor-specific commands sent over this port until a different

motor is addressed with a #{constant} command.

Other communications ports may be addressing different motors at the same time, as set by

#{constant} commands sent over those ports. In addition, each background PLC program can

individually modally address a motor using the ADDRESS statement for subsequent COMMAND

statements, and the hardware control panel on a Turbo PMAC can separately select a motor for its

hardware inputs.

Note:

In firmware versions 1.934 and older, all communications ports addressed the

same motor, so a #{constant} command sent over any port set the addressed

motor for all ports.

Example:

# ; Ask Turbo PMAC which motor is addressed

2 ; Turbo PMAC reports that motor 2 is addressed
