Configuring the I/O
Chapter 4 provides instructions on how to configure a ControlLogix
controller with 1756-CNB/R bridge or PLC-5 controller to communicate
with the adapter and connected PowerFlex drive.
Important: The I/O consumes only one connection between the
controller and drive(s) regardless of whether the adapter is
in Single or Multi-Drive mode. When using DriveExecutive
to configure/monitor the drive, an additional I/O connection
will be consumed between the computer and controller.
When using Explicit Messaging for time-critical messages,
you can create additional dedicated message connections to
ensure the timing of their transactions. For more details, see
the Important statement in
About Explicit Messaging on
Page 6-1 .
Example Network
After the adapter is configured, the connected drive and adapter will be a
single node on the network. This section provides the steps that are
needed to configure a simple network like the network in
Figure 4.1 . In
our example, we will configure a 1756-CNB/R bridge to communicate
with a drive using Logic Command/Status and Reference/Feedback over
the network.
