4-2 ControlNet Network Communication Option Board For Use With FlexPak 3000 and WebPak 3000 DC Drives
4.2 Configuring Drive Reference and Feedback Data as
Scheduled Transfers
This section describes how to:
• configure scheduled traffic for the drive
• control the drive using the drive reference data
• use scheduled drive feedback data
4.2.1 Configuring Scheduled Data Transfers
Before the drive can communicate on the ControlNet network, you must configure its
scheduled traffic information by using some type of ControlNet configuration software.
By configuring scheduled traffic, you define how much data the drive can send, how
often the data is sent, and where the data is written to and read from (mapped) in the
programmable controller.
You must configure each drive on the ControlNet network. Table 4.2 lists the
configuration information you must enter if you are using RSNetWorx
™
and a
PLC-5
™
.
