20-COMM-C/Q ControlNet Adapter User Manual
Publication 20COMM-UM003F-EN-P
When Datalinks are used, you must enable the desired Datalinks and assign
names to their non-descriptive controller tags. When a Datalink is enabled,
you must set the following adapter I/O parameters:
• Parameter 13 - [DPI I/O Cfg] turns on the enabled Datalink bit so the
20-COMM-C or 20-COMM-Q adapter will communicate that Datalink’s
information with the drive.
• Parameter 25 - [M-S Input] turns on the enabled Datalink bit so the
20-COMM-C or 20-COMM-Q adapter will input that Datalink’s
information from the controller.
• Parameter 26 - [M-S Output] turns on the enabled Datalink bit so the
20-COMM-C or 20-COMM-Q adapter will output that Datalink’s
information to the controller.
When using Datalinks, up to 8 drive [Data In xx] parameters (300…307)
and/or up to 8 [Data Out xx] parameters (310…317) must be assigned to
point to the appropriate drive parameters for your application.
Important: To change the I/O Not Responding box in the upper-left of the
RSLogix 5000 window from flashing green to steady green,
and to remove the yellow warning symbols
displayed in the
treeview under the I/O Configuration folder and drive profile,
follow the procedure in
Use RSNetworx for ControlNet
Software to Save the I/O to the Bridge on page 4-13 .
Using the RSLogix 5000 Generic Profile, All Versions
We recommend that you use the basic RSLogix 5000 Generic Profile for
only the following reasons:
• A specific drive profile in other versions of RSLogix 5000 software is
unavailable.
• Users are already familiar with a drive Generic Profile and do not want to
convert an existing project to a Classic Profile, versions 13.00…15.00, or
to a drive Add-on Profile (RSLogix 5000 software, version 16.00 or
later.)
• A project must maintain specific revision level control.
• The controller cannot be taken offline. RSLogix 5000 software, version
16.00 or later, enables the drive Generic Profile to be added while the
controller is online and in the Run mode.
