When the ODVA AC/DC drive profile standard I/O assembly instances are active, the same concept 
detailed in the previous paragraph applies, except that the first half of the AC/DC drive object attributes 
are coupled to the actual ASD operation, and the second half of the attributes are decoupled (and should 
therefore be ignored). 
 
11.5.8.6 AC/DC Drive Object Attribute Semantics
This section will detail any specific information that may be useful when accessing the attributes of the 
AC/DC Drive Object, whether directly via explicit messaging or indirectly via I/O assembly objects. 
 
AtReference 
This attribute is “1” whenever SpeedActual is within ±1 RPM of SpeedRef. 
 
NetRef 
Maps directly to the “speed reference priority” bit (bit #14) of the G7 command word (refer to 
G7
Command Word below). When this attribute (and therefore command word bit #14) is “1”, the option 
frequency command (derived from SpeedRef when AC/DC drive profile I/O assemblies are active) 
becomes the drive’s active frequency command, regardless of the ASD’s 
Frequency Mode selection
parameter. When this attribute is a “0”, the option frequency command will no longer override the 
Frequency Mode selection parameter, but the option frequency command may still be used by the ASD 
as its overall frequency command if the 
Frequency Mode selection parameter is set to “Use
Communication Card (option)”. 
 
DriveMode 
This attribute has no effect on drive operation: values written to it are for user reference only. 
 
SpeedActual 
The SpeedActual attribute is the motor’s synchronous operating speed in RPM, and is calculated using 
the following formula: 
Poles
Motor
of
Number
(Hz)
Frequency
Output
x
120
Int
=
l
SpeedActua
,
where “Output Frequency” is the inverter’s current operating frequency and “Number of Motor Poles” is 
the value contained in the PoleCount attribute of the Motor Data Object (refer to section 11.5.7). Only 
the integer portion of the calculated result will be transmitted across the network. 
 
SpeedRef 
The SpeedRef attribute value is used in the following calculation to determine the ASD’s option 
frequency command value: 
120
Poles
Motor
of
Number
x
SpeedRef
=
(Hz)
Command
Frequency
,
where “Number of Motor Poles” is the value contained in the PoleCount attribute of the Motor Data 
Object (refer to section 11.5.7). 
 
RefFromNet 
This attribute mirrors the value set in attribute #4 “NetRef”. 
 
Frequency Command 
Unsigned 16-bit value whose value is the desired ASD option frequency command multiplied by 100. 
For example, if a frequency command of 55.34Hz is desired, then 55.34 x 100 = 5534
10
(0x159E). If
the frequency command exceeds limiting drive parameters (such as the
Upper Limit Frequency or
Maximum Frequency), then the drive will ignore it, maintaining its current setting.
