Control of P-BUS Devices
P-BUS Trigger
“P-BUS trigger” is a function whereby a button operation in the numeric
keypad control block or keyframe control block outputs an action command to
a P-BUS device.
Note
To use the P-BUS trigger function, the P-BUS control mode must be set to
[Trigger]. Make this setting in the Engineering Setup>Panel>Device Interface
menu (see page 226).
The relation between the operation in each of the control blocks and the action
command output is as follows.
Action command for an operation in the numeric keypad control
block
• RECALL: Recall
•STORE: Store
This recalls the register specified in the numeric keypad control block, and a
Recall or Store is carried out, according to the setting.
Action command for an operation in the keyframe control block
• RUN: Trigger 1
• REWIND: Trigger 4
• NEXT KF: Trigger 7
• PREV KF: Trigger 8
Outputting an action command
As an example, to output a Recall, use the following procedure.
1
In the numeric keypad control block, press the [EFF] button, turning it on.
The [RCALL] button in the numeric keypad control block lights.
2
Press the [P-BUS] button in the numeric keypad control block, turning it
on, to select the P-BUS region.
3
Enter the number of the register to be recalled with the numeric keypad
buttons.
4
Press the [ENTER] button in the numeric keypad control block.
This carries out the Recall.
