Using the I/O (Adapter mode only)
This chapter provides information and examples that explain how to control,
configure, and monitor a PowerFlex 750-Series drive using the configured I/O.
About I/O Messaging
On CIP-based networks, including EtherNet/IP, I/O connections are 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 750-Series
drives.
The option module includes the Logic Command, Logic Status, Reference,
Feedback, and memory allocation for the Generic Ethernet module profile (all as
32-bit words) in the controller’s I/O image. This basic I/O must always be
configured in the EtherNet bridge using RSLogix 5000 software. Additional I/O,
if needed, can be set using up to 16 Datalinks to write data and/or up to 16
Datalinks to read data. When using any combination of these Datalinks, add one
32-bit word for each Datalink to the basic I/O Input Size and/or Output Size.
, Configuring the Option Module, and
,
Configuring the I/O, discuss how to configure the option module and controller
on the network for the required I/O. The Glossary defines the different options.
This chapter discusses how to use I/O after you have configured the option
module and controller.
