Configuring the I/O Chapter 4
The “Use Unicast Connection over EtherNet/IP” box is checked by

The new node (“PowerFlex 525-E2P PowerFlex_52X_Drive” in this
example) now appears under the
icon in the I/O Configuration
folder. If you double-click on the Input Controller Tag (see Controller
Input Tags on page 47 ) and Output Controller Tag (see Controller
Output Tags on page 47 ), you will see that module-defined data types and
tags have been automatically created. Note that all tag names are defined
and Datalinks include the assigned drive parameter name. After you save
and download the configuration, these tags allow you to access the Input
and Output data of the drive using the controller’s ladder logic.
