Box
Setting
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 dialog box:
• Create Database: Creates a database from an online network drive. Clicking this
button displays an RSLinx software RSWho dialog box. Browse to the online drive (for
this example, PowerFlex 755), select it, and click OK. The database will be uploaded
and stored on the computer. Thereafter, close the Module Definition dialog box 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 dialog box 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, Datalinks, 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 dialog box. 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 verifies 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 dialog box. 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 drive rating, use the Create
Database, Web Update, or Match Drive button described above.
Rating Options
Selects the drive power output required for the application. This must match the drive’s
actual rating.
Special Types
Reserved for future use.
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.
