Accessing Drive Data Drive data is displayed as structures of multiple tags. The names and data
structures are based on the selected communication format. The programming
software automatically creates the necessary structures and tags when you
configure the drive module. Each tag name follows this format:
ModuleName:Type.MemberName.SubMemberName.Bit
where:
Refer to Communication Formats on page 3-6 for sample tag names.
Monitoring Drive Data The DriveLogix controller offers different levels at which you can monitor the
drive module. You can:
• configure the drive module so that the controller faults if the drive loses
its connection to the controller.
• use the programming software to display fault data
• program logic to monitor fault data so you can take appropriate action
