CH.1
In general, the procedure for configuring the drive’s Global output data is a process of mapping the global
output data words to drive parameters. There are two different means in which this mapping of global
data output words to drive parameters can be accomplished. These include mapping from the keypad
and from the drive configuration utility. The keypad configuration method is described in Chapter 2.
1.4.3 Datagrams
Datagrams are messages sent over the Genius LAN from one device to another. Datagrams are typically
performed in PLC applications through a communications request or COMREQ. Typically, COMREQs
are used for occasional data access. For instance, COMREQs are not typically used to monitor speed
reference on a continuous basis, but it might be used to change a drive parameter once per shift or once
per week. Datagrams (through COMREQs) could also be used to upload or download all drive
parameters over the network. In PLC applications, a bus controller is required to perform datagrams or
COMREQs.
