What's new in CADELEC 2000

Master PLCs can reference several slave PLCs, the maximum number of slaves which can be referenced being defined with the master PLC (Master Assembly) at element creation (see XR-Function attribute).

When cross-referencing, the slave PLC will inherit the Device ID of the Master and their relative position will be annotated with the elements (they must have the same cross-reference function).

Within a group, which has a Master and several Slave PLCs, the cross referencing between the Master and the Slaves can be extended by the SLOT attribute.

Every Slave element has a SLOT attribute defined, which is inserted automatically by the DEFRC command (insert Cross-reference Position). On the Master PLC, depending on the number of Slaves, the command will insert the SLOT\1, SLOT\2 .. attributes which will be referenced when running the XRC command.

The SSLOT command sets the SLOT value for the Slave PLCs, in a similar way as setting the XR Function.
