Rockwell Automation 9303 DRIVE TOOLS 32 VER 2.50 GETTING STARTED - Manual (Page 101)

Setting Up Allen-Bradley Ethernet to RIO Block Transfer Pass Thru Communications 10-3
Setting Up the Hardware
To use DriveTools32 with this type of communications, you must:
• Ensure that the drive and adapter are properly installed and powered.
• Ensure that cables are securely connected and protected from damage.
• Ensure that an Ethernet card running TCP/IP is correctly installed.
• Ensure that block transfer is enabled in your adapter. If you are using a
1203-Gx1 or 1336-GM1 module, switch 1 on SW3 must be ON.
Important: Ensure that the ladder logic program and controller configuration
reflect the image table with Block Transfer enabled.
• Note the Remote I/O adapter settings. You need to specify the rack and
group number when configuring a DriveTools32 application.
• Ensure that the controller connected to the drive is not using any Block
Transfer instructions addressed to the drive in its ladder logic program.
• Ensure that the controller connected to the drive is in RUN mode. If the
PLC is not in RUN mode, pass thru messages cannot be delivered to the
connected drive product.
