Using I/O Messaging
Chapter 5 provides information and examples that explain how to use
I/O Messaging to control a PowerFlex drive.
On Interbus, I/O messaging is used to transfer the data which controls
the PowerFlex drive and sets its Reference. I/O can also be used to
transfer data to and from Datalinks in PowerFlex drives.
The Interbus adapter provides options for configuring and using I/O,
including the following:
• The size of I/O can be configured by enabling or disabling the Logic
Command/Reference and Datalinks.
Chapter 3 , Configuring the Adapter and Chapter 4 , Configuring the
Interbus Scanner discuss how to configure the adapter and scanner on the
network for these options. The Glossary defines the different options.
This chapter discusses how to use I/O after you have configured the
adapter and scanner.
