6. In the Module Definition screen, edit the following information.
When a 32-bit parameter is selected for Input Data or Output Data for a
drive with 16-bit Datalinks, two contiguous Datalinks (for example, x1
and x2, where x = A, B, C or D) are automatically assigned as a pair to
BoxSetting
Revision
The major and minor revision of the firmware (database) in the drive. If the
drive’s major and minor revision is not available, the drive database is not
installed on your computer. To get the correct database revision, use one of the
following buttons at the bottom left of the Module Definition screen:
· Create Database: Creates a database from an online network drive. Clicking
this button displays an RSLinx software RSWho window. Browse to the
online drive (for this example, PowerFlex 70 EC), select it, and click OK. The
database will be uploaded and stored on the computer. Thereafter, close the
Module Definition screen and then re-open it to display the new revision.
· Web Update: When a drive is not available online, opens the Allen-Bradley
Drives Web Updates website to download a specific database file. After
downloading the file, close the Module Definition screen and then re-open it
to display the new revision.
· Match Drive: Use this button when the drive being added to the network
matches the drive profile (revision, rating, configuration settings, and so
forth) of an existing online network drive. Click this button to conveniently
create a duplicate drive profile from the online drive, and automatically load
this identical information into the Module Definition screen. This eliminates
the need to manually enter the information each time a new drive with a
matching profile is added to the network.
Electronic
Keying
Compatible Module. The ‘Compatible Module’ setting for Electronic Keying
ensures that the physical module is consistent with the software configuration
before the controller and bridge make a connection. Therefore, be sure that you
have set the correct revision in this screen. See the online Help for additional
information on this and other Electronic Keying settings. If keying is not
required, select ‘Disable Keying’. Drives do not require keying, and so ‘Disable
Keying’ is recommended.
Drive
Rating
The voltage and current rating of the drive. If the drive rating is not listed, the
drive database is not installed on your computer. To get the correct drive rating,
use the Create Database, Web Update, or Match Drive button described
above.
Connection Parameters via Datalinks. When selecting ‘Parameters via Datalinks’ (default),
the controller tags for the Datalinks use the drive parameter names to which
they are assigned. When selecting ‘Datalinks’, the controller tags for the
Datalinks have non-descriptive UserDefinedData[n] names like those used in
RSLogix 5000 software, version 15.00.

Format
Parameters. When the Connection field is set to ‘Parameters via Datalinks’,
‘Parameters’ is automatically selected. When the Connection field is set to
‘Datalinks’, you must select the number of Datalinks required for your
application in the ‘Data Format’ field.
