Hardware

Required Hardware

The hardware required for this type of communications depends on the drive
type. Refer to the following table:

Setting Up the Hardware

To use DriveTools32 with this type of communications, you must:

Ensure that the ControlLogix controller has scanners for the network that
you are using and network to which you want to connect.

Ensure that the drive and adapter are properly installed and powered.

Ensure that cables are securely connected and protected from damage.

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.

Verify that the settings in your communication module are correct. Refer to
its user manual.

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 it is not
in RUN mode, pass thru messages cannot be delivered to the connected
drive product.
