Allen-Bradley Ethernet Communications System
Important: RIO Block Transfer Pass Thru communications to drives take
approximately 2 seconds per point, and the PLC acting as the gateway must not
use any Block Transfer instructions addressed to the drive in its ladder logic
program.
Important: DriveMonitor32 and DriveBlockEditor32 cannot be used with RIO
Block Transfer Pass Thru communications systems.
Important: For RIO Block Transfer Pass Thru communications to work, the
PLC to which the drive is connected must be in RUN mode. If the PLC is not in
RUN mode, pass thru messages cannot be delivered to the connected drive
product.
