4
Powering Up the Drive
LED Indicators
After you have installed the RS1 Module, apply power to the drive
and to the connected device. The READY LED should illuminate. If
it does not, refer to Chapter 9, Troubleshooting.
The RS1 Module has three LEDs (see figure below) which provide
module status.
READY LED
FAULT LED
COMM LED
RS232
Serial Comm
READY
FAULT
COMM
The LEDs are defined as follows:
•COMM – The COMM LED has four possible states:
Green (solid)The cable is connected (both ends) and module is ready to
communicate.
Green (flashing) The module is on-line and communicating.
Red (solid)Connection was lost or application timed out.
Red (flashing)Device is transmitting & receiving data but application has timed out.
•FAULT – This LED tracks the fault status of the 160 Drive.
When no faults are present, the LED will be off. The LED will
illuminate (red) if a drive fault occurs.
•READY – The Ready LED will illuminate (green) whenever the
module is connected to the drive and power is applied.
4–2Modes of Operation
Modes of Operation
The RS1 Module has three modes of operation.
•Power-up mode
•Run mode
•Error mode
Power-up Mode
The following sequence of operation occurs:
1. During power-up, the READY LED illuminates.
2. The module reads and stores the DIP switch settings.
If the power-up sequence is successful, the module enters the run
mode and the COMM LED flashes green or turns solid green.
If the power-up sequence fails, the COMM LED will go to solid red
and the module will enter the Error Mode. See the Error Mode
description in this section.
Run Mode
After a successful power-up, the RS1 Module enters the run mode
and operates as a slave device to a master device. In run mode, the
module:
•Accepts and responds to messages from the master on the
network.
•Monitors cable integrity.
If an error is detected, the module enters error mode (see below).
Error Mode
If the module detects an error, the COMM LED flashes red or turns
solid red. Refer to Chapter 9 for details on how to recover from an
error.

Supported PCCC Command
List
Data Table Structure
The RS1 Module communicates over RS-232 using the
Allen-Bradley DF1 protocol. The DF1 protocol uses PCCC
(Programmable Controller Communication Commands) to determine
the data format. PCCC describes the action of the message (set or get)
and the location of the data involved. For further PCCC information,
refer to DF1 Protocol and Command Set Reference Manual,
publication 1770-6.5.16.
The RS1 Module responds to the PCCC types shown in the following
table.
Table 5.A

0x0F0xA9Protected Type Logical Write with 2 Address Fields
The RS1 Module maintains a data table that allows DF1 devices (such
as an SLC 500 or MicroLogix 1000) to set or request data using
standard PCCC. The data table in the RS1 Module contains:
•Drive parameter information
•RS1 parameter information
•Logic command & status data
•Speed command & status data
•Communication status information.
The data table is formatted as integer files and follows the form

The “File Address” section of the data table is divided into eight
areas, each having a different purpose.
1. Parameter Value Read or Write (N10). Reading data from files
in this area will cause the module to read parameter values from
the device and send those values as the response to the read
message. Writing data to files in this area will cause the module
to write that data into device parameters.
2. RS1 Parameter Value Read or Write (N13). Reading data from

A value of “2” corresponds to RS1 Module logic control. The input mode
value is “2” or “6.”
If the Logic Mask value is changed from “1” to “2,” the terminal block logic
control is masked out by the RS1 Module. The module does this by
changing the Input Mode to the last previously active network mode, “2” or
“6” (if a network mode has not been active since drive power was applied,
it is set to “2”).
If the Logic Mask value is changed from “2” to “1,” the RS1 logic control is
masked out by the RS1 Module. The module does this by changing the
Input Mode to the last previously active non-network mode (if a nonnetwork mode has not been active since drive power was applied, it is set
to “0”).
IMPORTANT: Power must be cycled or P56-[Reset Functions] must be
set to “2” for this change to take affect.

Using the RS1 Module with a
Programmable Controller
This chapter provides an overview of the steps needed to use the RS1
Module with a MicroLogix 1000 (or other Allen-Bradley
programmable controllers). The programmable controller can send
control messages to the RS1 Module and receive status messages
back. The device also allows a ladder logic program to configure and
read parameters from the 160 Drive.
This chapter contains the following information:
•How to setup the RS1 Module with a programmable controller.
•A sample ladder logic program to control the 160 Drive.
•A description of reading parameters using the Message (MSG)
Command.
•A sample ladder logic program to read parameters.
The MicroLogix 1000 Programmable Controller was used with
RSLogix 500™ software for the examples shown in this chapter – the
concepts demonstrated apply to other programmable controllers as
well, including the SLC 500 and PLC-5.
Required Tools

Before continuing, the user should have read and understood:
•MicroLogic 1000 Programmable Controller User Manual,
Publication 1761-6.3 (or appropriate controller User Manual).
•SLC 500 and MicroLogix 1000 Instruction Set Reference Manual,
publication 1747-6.15.

Setting the Drive to Enable
Network Control
Setting the Baud Rate and
Checksum Mode
The 160 drive must be configured to accept logic and speed
commands from the network. This can be done by configuring two of
the 160 parameters:
1. Set P46 - [Input Mode] to a value of “2.” This will configure the
drive to accept the logic commands from the network.
2. Set P59 - [Frequency Select] to “1.” This will configure the drive
to accept speed commands from the network.
Changing the above parameters can be done with the 160 Keypad
Module or configuration software such as the DriveExplorer.
Important:
The baud rate and checksum mode on the RS1 Module should be
configured to the desired setting for the network (and other devices).
After configuration, install the RS1 Module into the 160 Drive as
explained in Chapter 3. Note that the MicroLogix uses CRC as the
checksum mode.
For a new Input Mode to take affect, drive power must be
cycled.
Connecting the Drive to the
Programmable Controller
Controlling the Drive
The RS1 Module is connected to the programmable controller
through the 9-pin D-shell connector. Since each programmable
controller may have different wiring requirements, Figure 3.5 should
be referenced as a guide.
Important:
Controlling the 160 Drive from a programmable controller is
accomplished using Message Commands to communicate through the
RS1 Module to the drive. To send a Start or Stop command to the
drive, the Message Command (MSG) is set up to write to N41:0. To
read the drive status, the Message Command is set up to read from
N41:0. Refer to Chapter 6 for the logic command and status format.
Drive speed can be controlled or read in the same manner by
accessing N41:1.
The communication port of the programmable controller
may also be used to program the controller, thus the user
may haveto disconnect the cable going to the RS1 Module
before programming the controller.
Using the RS1 Module with a Programmable Controller8–3
Program the Ladder
The example ladder program in Figure 8.2 demonstrates writing a
Logic Command to the drive and reading the Logic Status from the
drive.
In the following example ladder program, B3:0/0 is set every 2
seconds. This enables a Logic Command write to be done followed
by the Logic Status read. The data for the Logic Command is stored
in N7:8 of the MicroLogix and is written to location N41:0 of the RS1
Module. For the Logic Status, data from the RS1 Module at location
N41:0 is read by the MicroLogix and stored in N7:9. This ladder
program could be modified to read and write speed commands for the
160 Drive by changing the read and write location in the RS1 Module
from N41:0 to N41:1.

END
Reading or writing parameters can be accomplished using message
commands to communicate through the RS1 Module to the drive. The
drive parameters are accessed at location N10:XX, with the XX being
the parameter number to read or write (i.e. N10:30 accesses
parameter P30 - [Accel Time]).
Using the RS1 Module with a Programmable Controller8–5
You can read or write RS1 Module parameters through location N10
or N13. For location N10, the RS1 parameters start at N10:101, thus
accessing location N10:101 reads or writes RS1 parameter P1 -[Node Address]. For location N13, the RS1 parameters start at N13:1
(N13:1 also accesses RS1 parameter P1 - [Node Address]).
Program the Ladder for
Parameter Reads and Writes
The example ladder program in Figure 8.4 accomplishes reading and
writing drive parameters.
In the following ladder program, B3:1/4 is set when requesting a
parameter write. When no other Message Commands are enabled,
B3:0/4 will be set, starting the parameter write. For the parameter
write, data from N7:51 is written by the MicroLogix to location
N10:30 (P30 - [Accel Time]) of the RS1 Module. Bits B3:0/4 and
B3:1/4 are cleared when the Message Command is completed.
B3:1/5 is set when requesting a read of a parameter. When no other
Message Commands are enabled, B3:0/5 will be set, starting the
parameter read. For the parameter read, location N10:30 (P30 -[Accel Time]) of the RS1 Module is read by the MicroLogix and the
data is placed in N7:52. Bits B3:0/5 and B3:1/5 are cleared when the
Message Command is completed.
