Placing and Configuring the Drive

De-energizing the Drive to
Connect or Disconnect a
Cable

During the process of placing and configuring the drive you will need to
connect or disconnect a programming or network cable at the controller.
You should do this only if the drive is de-energized.

1. Turn off and lock out input power. Wait five minutes.

2. Verify that there is no voltage at the drive’s input power terminals.

3. Measure the DC bus voltage at the +DC & -DC terminals on the Power

Terminal Block. The voltage must be zero.

4. Connect or disconnect the programming or network cable.

5. Turn power back on and proceed with placing and configuring the drive.

Understanding the Interface
to the Drive

The DriveLogix controller supports a direct connection to the drive
consisting of 21 inputs and 21 outputs. The tag names and data types
associated with the inputs and outputs are determined by the
communication format selection. Currently, the following five
communications formats are available:

• Speed Control – for typical speed regulated applications

• Position Control – for typical positioning applications

• Motion Control - for use with Logix motion commands

• User-Defined 1 – for general use as required.

• User-Defined 2 - for general use as required.

Each communication format contains a number of pre-defined tags and
user-defined tags.

The pre-defined tag names and data types correspond with the associated
parameters, within the drive’s firmware, that are necessary to support the
selected communications format. Links must be established in the firmware,
using DriveExecutive software, to support the pre-defined tags. Linking is a
software mechanism that configures data flow within the drive’s firmware.
The links within the firmware to support the pre-defined tags are protected

!

ATTENTION: Severe injury or death can result from electrical
shock or burn. Verify that the voltage on the bus capacitors has
discharged before connecting to the communication ports.
Measure the DC bus voltage at the +DC & -DC terminals on the
Power Terminal Block. The voltage must be zero.
