Chapter 1Getting Started
Features
The features of the option module include the following:
• Adapter or Tap mode of operation that is selected by using the Operating
Mode Jumper (J4). In Adapter mode (default), the option module
operates as a network communication adapter supporting star, linear or
device-level ring (DLR) network topologies. In Tap mode—only intended
for use with PowerFlex 755 drives—the option module uses ENET3
(DEVICE) port as a connection point to transfer ‘Integrated Motion on
the EtherNet/IP network’ data to the PowerFlex 755 drive’s embedded
EtherNet/IP adapter.
• Industrial Ethernet switch, and ENET1 and ENET2 network ports that
provide connections for EtherNet/IP star, linear, or device-level ring
(DLR) network topologies.
• ENET3 (DEVICE) port—for use with only PowerFlex 755 drives—that
supports the transfer of ‘Integrated Motion on the EtherNet/IP network’
data for that drive.
• Embedded electronic data sheet (EDS) files for PowerFlex 750-Series
drives that eliminate the need to download an EDS file from the Rockwell
Automation website. Instead, the EDS file is uploaded from the option
module by using RSLinx software.
• Automatic Device Configuration (ADC), which is an ‘RSLogix 5000
software, version 20 or later, feature’ that supports the automatic
download of configuration data. This occurs after the Logix controller
establishes an EtherNet/IP network connection to a PowerFlex 750-Series
drive (firmware revision 4.001 or later) and its associated peripherals.
• Captive screws to secure and ground the module to the drive.
• Switches to set a network node address before applying power to the
drive—or you can disable the switches and use a BOOTP server, a
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server, or option module
parameters to configure the IP address.
• Compatibility with various configuration tools to configure the option
module and host drive. The tools include the enhanced PowerFlex 7-Class
HIM (catalog number 20-HIM-A6 or 20-HIM-C6S) on the drive, and
drive-configuration software, such as DriveExplorer software, version 6.01
or later, or DriveExecutive software, version 5.01 or later.
• Status indicators that report the status of the option module and network
communication. They are visible when the drive cover is removed.
• Parameter-configured 32-bit Datalinks in the I/O to meet application
requirements (16 Datalinks to write data from the network to the drive,
and 16 Datalinks to read data to the network from the drive).
• Explicit Messaging support.

TIP
Getting StartedChapter 1
• Master-Slave or Peer-to-Peer hierarchy that can be configured to transmit
data to and from a controller or another PowerFlex 750-Series drive on the
network by using another 20-750-ENETR option module or the
embedded EtherNet/IP adapter in a PowerFlex 755 drive.
• Supports ‘Integrated Motion on the EtherNet/IP network’ operation (Tap
mode only) for only the PowerFlex 755 drive, firmware revision 2.003 or
later. For details to set up ‘Integrated Motion on the EtherNet/IP network’
operation, see Integrated Motion on the EtherNet/IP Network User
Manual, publication MOTION-UM003
For best reliability in ‘Integrated Motion on the EtherNet/IP network’
applications, we recommend that you always use Rockwell
Automation Cat5e shielded Ethernet cable.
• User-defined fault actions to determine how the option module and its
connected host drive respond to the following:
– I/O messaging communication disruptions (Comm Flt Action)
– Controllers in Idle mode (Idle Flt Action)
– Peer device communication disruptions (Peer Flt Action)
– Explicit messaging disruptions for drive control via PCCC, the CIP
Register Object or the CIP Assembly object (Msg Flt Action)
.
Option Module Operating
Modes
• Accessing parameters by their name or their number.
• Web pages, viewed by using a web browser, that show information about
the option module, its host drive, and DPI devices connected to the drive.
Depending on its selected operating mode (Adapter or Tap), the option
module provides a unique set of web pages with different information.
• Configured e-mail messaging (Adapter mode only) to desired addresses
when selected drive faults occur and/or are cleared, and/or when the
option module takes a communication or idle fault action.
• Access to any PowerFlex drive and its connected peripherals on the
network to which the option module is connected.
The option module can be operated in Adapter mode (default) or Tap mode. The

used in a linear or device-level ring (DLR) network topology. When using a star
network topology, either the ENET1 or ENET2 network port may be used. In
Adapter mode, the ‘Integrated Motion on the EtherNet/IP network’
functionality is not supported.
Tap Mode (only with PowerFlex 755 drives)
In the Tap mode, the option module operates like a gateway and functions similar
to the 1783-ETAP module. By connecting the supplied Ethernet cable between
the option module’s ENET3 network port and the embedded EtherNet/IP
adapter port on the PowerFlex 755 drive, the option module enables the
PowerFlex 755 drive to extend its I/O connection to a linear or device-level ring
(DLR) network topology. This also enables ‘Integrated Motion on the EtherNet/
IP network’ functionality supported by the PowerFlex 755 drive to be used with
these topologies.
Understanding Parameter
Types
The option module has two types of parameters:
• Device parameters are used to configure the option module to operate on
the network. Device parameters, when viewed with DriveExplorer or
DriveExecutive software, appear below the 20-750-ENETR listing in the
treeview in a separate Device Parameters folder. When viewed with the
20-HIM-A6 or 20-HIM-C6S HIM, these parameters appear in the DEV
PARA M fol der.
Some Device parameters are not applicable when operating the option
module in Adapter mode while others are not applicable in Tap mode.
Therefore, these non-applicable parameters are labeled ‘Reserved’ in
the Adapter and Tap mode operation parameter tables in Appendix
• Host parameters are used to configure the option module Datalink transfer
and various fault actions with the drive. Host parameters, when viewed
with DriveExplorer or DriveExecutive software, appear below the 20-750ENETR listing in the treeview in a separate Host Parameters folder. When
viewed with the 20-HIM-A6 or 20-HIM-C6S HIM, these parameters
appear in the HOST PARAM folder.
When operating the option module in Tap mode, Host parameters are
not supported.

Safety Precautions
Please read the following safety precautions carefully.
ATTENTION: Risk of injury or death exists. The PowerFlex drive may contain high
voltages that can cause injury or death. Remove all power from the PowerFlex
drive, and then verify power has been discharged before installing or removing
the option module.
ATTENTION: Risk of injury or equipment damage exists. Only personnel familiar
with drive and power products and the associated machinery should plan or
implement the installation, startup, configuration, and subsequent maintenance
of the drive using the option module. Failure to comply may result in injury and/
or equipment damage.
ATTENTION: Risk of equipment damage exists. The option module contains
electrostatic discharge (ESD) sensitive parts that can be damaged if you do not
follow ESD control procedures. Static control precautions are required when
handling the option module. If you are unfamiliar with static control procedures,
see Guarding Against Electrostatic Damage, publication 8000-4.5.2
ATTENTION: Risk of injury or equipment damage exists. If the option module is
transmitting control I/O to the drive, the drive may fault when you reset the
option module. Determine how your drive will respond before resetting the
module.
.
ATTENTION: Risk of injury or equipment damage exists. Host Parameters 33 [Comm Flt Action], 34 - [Idle Flt Action], 35 - [Peer Flt Action], and 36 [Msg Flt Action] let you determine the action of the option module and
connected drive if I/O communication is disrupted, the controller is idle, Peer I/O
is disrupted, or explicit messaging for drive control is disrupted. By default, these
parameters fault the drive. You may configure these parameters so that the drive
continues to run, however, precautions should be taken to verify that the settings
of these parameters do not create a risk of injury or equipment damage. When
commissioning the drive, verify that your system responds correctly to various
situations (for example, a disconnected cable or a controller in idle state).
ATTENTION: Risk of injury or equipment damage exists. When a system is
configured for the first time, there may be unintended or incorrect machine
motion. Disconnect the motor from the machine or process during initial system
testing.
ATTENTION: Risk of injury or equipment damage exists. The examples in this
publication are intended solely for purposes of example. There are many
variables and requirements with any application. Rockwell Automation does not
assume responsibility or liability (to include intellectual property liability) for
actual use of the examples shown in this publication.

Preparing for an Installation
Before installing the option module, do the following:
• Make sure the Ethernet switch is the correct type. A “managed” switch that
supports IGMP snooping is usually recommended. An “unmanaged”
switch can be used instead if RSLogix 5000 software, version 18.00 or
later, is used and all devices on the network are configured for “unicast”
I/O. For more details, see the following documents:
– EtherNet/IP Media Planning and Installation Manual,
The option module is a multicast device. In most situations, an IGMP
snooping (managed) switch is required. If more than one or two
EtherNet/IP option modules are connected to the switch, a managed
switch is required—otherwise the drive may fault on a Net IO Timeout
network loss. The option module, RSLogix 5000 software version 18.00
or later, and a ControlLogix or CompactLogix controller will support
unicast. Unicast setup is required when adding the drive to the I/O. When
all option modules are set up as unicast devices, then an IGMP snooping
(managed) switch is not needed.
Rockwell Automation Publication 750COM-UM008A-EN-P - July 201217
Chapter 2Installing the Option Module
IMPORTANT
Much of EtherNet/IP implicit (I/O) messaging uses IP multicast to
distribute I/O control data, which is consistent with the CIP producer/
consumer model. Historically, most switches have treated multicast
packets the same as broadcast packets. That is, all multicast packets are retransmitted to all ports.
IGMP snooping constrains the flooding of multicast traffic by dynamically
configuring switch ports so that multicast traffic is forwarded only to ports
associated with a particular IP multicast group.
Switches that support IGMP snooping (managed switches) ‘learn’ which
ports have devices that are part of a particular multicast group and only
forward the multicast packets to the ports that are part of the multicast
group.
Be careful as to what level of support a switch has of IGMP snooping.
Some layer 2 switches that support IGMP snooping require a router
(which could be a layer 3 switch) to send out IGMP polls to learn what
devices are part of the multicast group. Some layer 2 switches can use
IGMP snooping without a router sending polls. If your control system is a
standalone network or is required to continue performing if the router is
out of service, make sure the switch you are using supports IGMP
snooping without a router being present.

• Verify that you have all required equipment. See Required Equipment
page 13.
ATTENTION: Risk of equipment damage exists. The option module contains
electrostatic discharge (ESD) sensitive parts that can be damaged if you do not
follow ESD control procedures. Static control precautions are required when
handling the option module. If you are unfamiliar with static control procedures,
see Guarding Against Electrostatic Damage, publication 8000-4.5.2
The option module has EtherNet/IP embedded switch technology, and ENET1
and ENET2 network ports to connect to a linear or device-level ring (DLR)
network in a single subnet.
You cannot use ENET1 and ENET 2 network ports as two network interface
cards connected to two different subnets.

Setting the Node Address
There are four methods for configuring the option module node address:
• Node Address Switches — Use these switches when working on a simple,
isolated network (for example, 192.168.1.xxx) that has other products
with switches to set their IP addresses, does not need to be accessed from
outside the network, and you prefer a simplified node addressing method.
The three rotary switches are read when the drive powers up, and represent

•Option Module Parameters — Use option module parameters when you
want more flexibility in setting up the network node address, or need to
communicate outside the control network using a gateway. To use
parameters as the source for the IP address, the Node Address switches
must be set to a value other than 001…254 or 888, and Device Param eter 05 - [Net Addr Sel] must be set to “1” (Parameters). The IP address,
subnet mask, and gateway address will then come from the values set using
the associated option module parameters. For details, see Using Option
Module Parameters on page 36.
If parameter values are invalid or the option module was not reset for
the values to take effect, the node address is established by using
DHCP.
•BOOTP — Use BOOTP when you want to configure a temporary IP
address, subnet mask, and gateway address for the option module using a
BOOTP server. To use BOOTP as the source for the IP address, the Node
Address switches must be set to a value other than 001…254 or 888, and
DeviceParameter 05 - [Net Addr Sel] must be set to “2” (BOOTP).
Note the option module’s hardware Ethernet Address (MAC) on the
module’s data nameplate label located on the backside of the circuit board,
which will be used in step 7 when configuring the BOOTP server (see
Using a BOOTP or DHCP Server on page 32
for details).

If the PowerFlex 750-Series drive is connected to a Stratix 6000 or Stratix
8000 managed Ethernet switch and the drive is set for BOOTP mode, the
“dynamic IP address assignment by port” (Stratix 6000) or “DHCP
persistence” (Stratix 8000) feature will set the IP address for the drive.

• DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) — Use DHCP, the
default, when you want additional flexibility and ease-of-use compared to
BOOTP in configuring the IP address, subnet mask, and gateway address
for the option module using a DHCP server. To use DHCP as the source
for the IP address, the Node Address switches must be set to a value other
than 001…254 or 888, and Device Parameter 05 - [Net Addr Sel] must be
set to “3” (DHCP).
When the DHCP lease expires, the option module stops communicating
on the network, requiring a power cycle or option module reset.
Note the option module’s hardware Ethernet Address (MAC) on the
module’s data nameplate label on the backside of the circuit board, which
will be used in step 7 when configuring the DHCP server (see Using a
BOOTP or DHCP Server on page 32 for details).
.
Regardless of the method used to set the option module network node
address, each node on the EtherNet/IP network must have a unique IP address.
To change a node address, you must set the new value and then remove and
reapply power to (or reset) the option module.

Configuring and Verifying Key Drive Parameters
The PowerFlex 750-Series drive can be separately configured for the control and
Reference functions in various combinations. For example, you could set the
drive to have its control come from a peripheral or terminal block with the
Reference coming from the network. Or you could set the drive to have its
control come from the network with the Reference coming from another
peripheral or terminal block. Or you could set the drive to have both its control
and Reference come from the network.
The following steps in this section assume that the drive will receive the Logic
Command and Reference from the network.
1. Verify that drive Parameter 301 - [Access Level] is set to “1” (Advanced) or
“2” (Expert) to access the required parameters in this procedure.
2. Use drive Parameter 545 - [Speed Ref A Sel] to set the drive speed
Reference:
a. Set the Port field to “0” as shown below.
b. Set the Parameter field to point to the port (slot) in which the option
module is installed (for this example, Port 4 Reference).
The number “874” in the Parameter field of the example dialog box
above is the parameter in the drive that points to the port.
3. Verify that drive Parameter 930 - [Speed Ref Source] is reporting that the
source of the Reference to the drive (Port 0) is the port in which the option
module is installed (for this example, Port 4 Reference).
This ensures that any Reference commanded from the network can be
monitored by using drive Parameter 002 - [Commanded SpdRef]. If a

Setting the Option Module
Node Address
If your drive has an enhanced PowerFlex 20-HIM-A6 or 20-HIM-C6S HIM, it
can be used to access parameters in the option module.
1. Display the Status screen, which is shown on HIM powerup.
2. Use the or key to scroll to the Port in which the option
module is installed.
3. Press the PAR# soft key to display the Jump to Param # entry pop-up box.
4. Use the numeric keys to enter the desired parameter number, or use the

For details on viewing and editing parameters, see the PowerFlex 20-HIM-A6/C6S HIM (Human Interface Module) User Manual, publication 20HIM-
UM001.
When the Node Address switches (Figure 2 on page 21) are set to a value other
than 001…254 or 888, Device Parameter 05 - [Net Addr Sel] determines the
source for the option module node address. By default, the Node Address
switches are set to 999 and Device Parameter 05 - [Net Addr Sel] is set to “3”
(DHCP). This combination selects a DHCP server as the source for the node
address. To use a BOOTP or DHCP server to set the node address, see the
subsection below. To use option module parameters, see Using Option Module
Parameters on page 36.
Using a BOOTP or DHCP Server
If the PowerFlex 750-Series drive is connected to a Stratix 6000 or Stratix 8000
managed Ethernet switch and the drive is set for BOOTP mode, the ‘dynamic IP
address assignment by port’ (Stratix 6000) or ‘DHCP persistence’ (Stratix 8000)
feature will set the IP address for the drive. For more details, see the Stratix
6000 Ethernet Managed Switch User Manual, publication 1783-UM001
Stratix 8000 and Stratix 8300 Ethernet Managed Switches User Manual,
publication 1783-UM003
There is a variety of BOOTP or DHCP servers available. The instructions below
use Rockwell Automation’s BOOTP/DHCP Server, version 2.3 or later, a free
standalone program that incorporates the functionality of standard BOOTP and
DHCP utilities with a graphical interface. It is available from www.ab.com/
networks/bootp.html. See the Readme file and online Help for directions and
more information.
If you prefer to configure the IP address, subnet mask, and gateway address
using option module parameters, set Device Parameter 05 - [Net Addr Sel]
to “1” (Parameters). Then use the appropriate option module parameters. For

Using Option Module Parameters
By default, the option module is configured to use a DHCP server as the source
for the IP address, subnet mask, and gateway address for the option module. To
use option module parameters instead, you must first change the source for the
node address to “Parameters” and then set the associated option module
parameters as described in the following subsections.
Changing the Source for the Node Address
1. Verify that the Node Address switches (Figure 2 on page 21) are set to any
value other than 001…254 or 888. The default setting is 999.
2. Set the value of Device Parameter 05 - [Net Addr Sel] to “1” (Parameters).
3. Reset the option module; see Resetting the Option Module on page 49
4. Perform the steps in the following subsections to set the IP address, subnet
mask, and gateway address using the option module parameters.
Setting the IP Address
1. Ver if y t ha t Device Parameter 05 - [Net Addr Sel] is set to “1”
(Parameters).
2. Set the value of Device Parameters 07 - [IP Addr Cfg 1] through 10 - [IP
Addr Cfg 4] to a unique IP address.
3. Reset the option module; see Resetting the Option Module on page 49
The NET A status indicator will be steady green or flashing green if the IP

Setting the Data Rate
By default, the option module is set to autodetect, so it automatically detects the
data rate and duplex setting used on the network. If you need to set a specific data
rate and duplex setting, the value of Device Parameter 19 - [Net Rate Cfg 1]
determines the Ethernet data rate and duplex setting that will be used to
communicate on the option module’s ENET1 network port. For definitions of
data rate and duplex, see the Glossary
1. Set the value of Device Parameter 19 - [Net Rate Cfg 1] to the data rate at
which your network is operating.
Auto detection of baud rate and duplex works properly only if the
device (usually a switch) on the other end of the cable is also set to
automatically detect the baud rate/duplex. If one device has the baud
rate/duplex hard-coded, the other device must be hard-coded to the
same settings.
If the option module’s ENET2 network port will be used to connect
another drive in a linear or DLR network topology, set the value of Device Parameter 21 - [Net Rate Cfg 2] to the appropriate data rate.

IMPORTANT
TIP
Selecting Master-Slave or
Peer-to-Peer Hierarchy
(Adapter mode only)
This procedure is only required if Datalinks are used to write or read data of the
drive or its connected peripherals. A hierarchy determines the type of device with
which the option module exchanges data. In a Master-Slave hierarchy, the option
module exchanges data with a master, such as a scanner or bridge. In a Peer-toPeer hierarchy, the option module exchanges data with EtherNet/IP Option
Modules in other PowerFlex 750-Series drives.
For both Master-Slave and Peer-to-Peer hierarchies, the devices exchanging data
must be on the same IP subnet. See “IP Addresses” in the Glossary
information about IP subnets.
Setting a Master-Slave Hierarchy
Enabling Datalinks To Write Data
The controller output image (controller outputs-to-drive) can have 0 to 16
additional 32-bit parameters (Datalinks). They are configured using Host
Parameters 01 - [DL From Net 01] through Parameter 16 - [DL From Net
16]. The number of Datalinks actively used is controlled by the connection size
in the controller. See the respective controller example sections in Chapter 4
more information on setting the connection size.
for
for
Always use the Datalink parameters in consecutive numerical order, starting
with the first parameter. For example, use Host Parameters 01, 02, and 03 to
configure three Datalinks to write data. Otherwise, the network I/O connection
will be larger than necessary, which needlessly increases controller response
time and memory usage.
When using a ControlLogix controller and an RSLogix 5000 drive Add-on
Profile, version 16.00 or later, there is no need to configure Datalink
parameters at this time. They will be assigned when configuring the RSLogix
5000 drive Add-on Profile (see Adding the Drive/Option Module to the I/O
Configuration on page 58).
When using a ControlLogix controller and the Generic Profile, configure the
Datalink parameters now as described in this section.
Host Parameters 01 - [DL From Net 01] through 16 - [DL From Net 16]
control which parameters in the drive, option module, or any other connected
peripheral receive the values from the network. The PowerFlex 20-HIM-A6 or
20-HIM-C6S HIM, DriveExplorer software, or DriveExecutive software can be
used to select the drive or peripheral by port number and the parameter by name.
As an alternate method, the parameter value can be set manually by number using
this formula:
From Net Parameter Value = (10000 * port number) + (Destination Parameter Number)
For example, suppose you want to use Host Parameter 01 - [DL From Net 01] to
write to Parameter 03 of an optional encoder module plugged into drive Port 5.
Rockwell Automation Publication 750COM-UM008A-EN-P - July 201239
Chapter 3Configuring the Option Module
IMPORTANT
TIP
Using the formula, the value for Host Parameter 01 - [DL From Net 01] would
be (10000 * 5) + (3) = 50003.
Follow these steps to enable Datalinks to write data.
1. Set the values of only the required number of contiguous controller-todrive Datalinks needed to write data to the drive and that are to be
included in the network I/O connection.
2. Reset the option module; see Resetting the Option Module on page 49
3. Since the Logic Command and Reference is always used in the option
module, configure the parameters in the drive to accept the Logic
Command and Reference from the option module. When using the
controller for speed reference via the option module, set two fields in drive
Parameter 545 - [Speed Ref A Sel]:
a. Set the Port field for the drive (for example, 0 - PowerFlex 755).
b. Set the Parameter field to point to the drive port in which the option
module is installed (for this example, Port 4 Reference).
Also, verify that the mask parameters in the drive (for example,
Parameter 324 - [Logic Mask]) are configured to receive the desired
logic from the option module. See the drive documentation for details.
After the above steps are complete, the option module is ready to receive input
data and transfer status data to the master (controller). Next, configure the
controller to recognize and transmit I/O to the option module. See Chapter 4
Configuring the I/O.
Enabling Datalinks To Read Data
The controller input image (drive-to-controller inputs) can have 0 to 16
additional 32-bit parameters (Datalinks). They are configured using Host Parameters 17 - [DL To Net 01] through 32 - [DL To Net 16]. The number of
Datalinks actively used is controlled by the connection size in the controller. See
the respective controller example sections in Chapter 4
setting the connection size.

,
Always use the Datalink parameters in consecutive numerical order, starting
with the first parameter. For example, use Host Parameters 17, 18, 19, 20, and
21 to configure five Datalinks to read data. Otherwise, the network I/O
connection will be larger than necessary, which needlessly increases controller
response time and memory usage.
When using a ControlLogix controller and an RSLogix 5000 drive Add-on
Profile, version 16.00 or later, there is no need to configure Datalink

IMPORTANT
When using a ControlLogix controller and the Generic Profile, configure the
Datalink parameters now as described in this section.
Host Parameters 17 - [DL To Net 01] through 32 - [DL To Net 16] configure
which parameters in the drive, option module, or any other connected peripheral
send the values to the network. The PowerFlex 20-HIM-A6 or 20-HIM-C6S
HIM, DriveExplorer software, or DriveExecutive software can be used to select
the drive or peripheral by port number and the parameter by name. As an alternate
method, the parameter value can be set manually by number using this formula:
To Net Parameter Value = (10000 * Port Number) + (Origination Parameter Number)
For example, suppose you want to use Host Parameter 17 - [DL To Net 01] to
read Parameter 2 of an optional I/O module plugged into drive Port 6. Using the
formula, the value for Host Parameter 17 - [DL To Net 01] would be (10000 * 6)
+ (2) = 60002.
Follow these steps to enable Datalinks to read data.
1. Set the values of only the required number of contiguous drive-tocontroller Datalinks needed to read data from the drive and that are to be
included in the network I/O connection.
2. Reset the option module; see Resetting the Option Module on page 49
The option module is configured to send output data to the master (controller).
You must now configure the controller to recognize and transmit I/O to the
option module. See Chapter 4
Setting the Option Module to Transmit Peer-to-Peer Data
Peer-to-peer communication can be set up as a simple peer I/O configuration or a
custom peer I/O configuration.
Simple Peer I/O Configuration
The most common use of peer I/O is to take the Logic Command and Reference
from one drive and repeat it over Ethernet to one or more other drives. If scaling
of the Reference is needed to enable drives to run at different but related speeds,
use drive Parameter 609 - [TrmPct RefA Stpt]. The EtherNet/IP option module
provides a simplified configuration method for simple peer I/O.
Because of the 32-bit REAL (floating point) Reference, the following method
works only if the drives transmitting and receiving are PowerFlex 750-Series
drives. Peer-to-peer communication only works between drives with a 20-750ENETR option module or PowerFlex 755 drives with the embedded EtherNet/IP
adapter.

Setting a Fault Action
(Adapter mode only)
By default, when communication is disrupted (for example, the network cable is
disconnected), the controller is idle (in program mode or faulted), and/or peer I/O
or explicit messaging for drive control is disrupted, the drive responds by faulting if
it is using I/O from the network. You can configure a different response to these
events:
• Disrupted I/O communication by using Host Parameter 33 - [Comm Flt
Action].
• An idle controller by using Host Parameter 34 - [Idle Flt Action].
• Disrupted peer I/O by using Host Parameter 35 - [Peer Flt Action].
• Disrupted explicit messaging for drive control via PCCC, the CIP Register Object or the CIP Assembly object by using Host Parameter 36 -
[Msg Flt Action].
ATTENTION: Risk of injury or equipment damage exists. Host Parameters 33 [Comm Flt Action], 34 - [Idle Flt Action], 35 - [Peer Flt Action], and 36 [Msg Flt Action] respectively let you determine the action of the option module
and connected drive if communication is disrupted, the controller is idle, peer I/O
is disrupted, or explicit messaging for drive control is disrupted. By default, these
parameters fault the drive. You may configure these parameters so that the drive
continues to run, however, precautions should be taken to verify that the settings
of these parameters do not create a risk of injury or equipment damage. When
commissioning the drive, verify that your system responds correctly to various
situations (for example, a disconnected network cable, controller in idle state or
explicit message control disruption).

Resetting the Option Module
Changes to switch and jumper settings and some option module parameters
require you to reset the option module before the new settings take effect. You
can reset the option module by power cycling the drive or by using Device Parameter 25 - [Reset Module].
ATTENTION: Risk of injury or equipment damage exists. If the option module is
transmitting control I/O to the drive, the drive may fault when you reset the
option module. Determine how your drive will respond before resetting the
option module.
Set DeviceParameter 25 - [Reset Module] to “1” (Reset Module).
When you enter “1” (Reset Module), the option module will be immediately
reset. An alternate method to reset the module is by power cycling the drive.
When you enter “2” (Set Defaults), the option module will set ALL of its Device
and
Host parameters to their factory default values. (This is the same as pressing
the ALL soft key when using the MEMORY folder method described in
Restoring Option Module Parameters to Factory Defaults on page 50
performing a Set Defaults, you must enter “1” (Reset Module) or power cycle the
drive so that the new values take effect. Thereafter, this parameter will be restored
to a value of “0” (Ready).
.) After
When operating the option module in Tap mode, Host parameters are NOT
supported, so only Device parameters are reset to their factory default values.
When performing a Set Defaults, the drive may detect a conflict and then not
allow this function to occur. If this happens, first resolve the conflict and then
Rockwell Automation Publication 750COM-UM008A-EN-P - July 201249
repeat a Set Defaults action. Common reasons for a conflict include the drive
running or a controller in Run mode.
If your application allows, you can also reset the option module by cycling
power to the drive (resetting the drive) or by using the HIM’s Reset Device
function located in the drive’s DIAGNOSTIC folder.

Using RSLinx Classic Software
RSLinx Classic software, in all its variations (Lite, Gateway, OEM, and so forth), is
used to provide a communication link between the computer, network, and
controller. RSLinx Classic software requires its network-specific driver to be
configured before communication is established with network devices. To
configure the RSLinx driver, follow this procedure.
1. Start RSLinx Classic software.
2. From the Communications menu, choose Configure Drivers to display the
Configure Drivers dialog box.
3. From the Available Driver Types pull-down menu, choose EtherNet/IP
Driver.
4. Click Add New to display the Add New RSLinx Driver dialog box.
5. Use the default name or type a name.
6. Click OK.
The “Configure driver:” dialog box appears.
7. Depending on your application, select either the browse local or remote
subnet option.

The option module has embedded EDS files for PowerFlex 750-Series drives.
This eliminates the need to download an EDS file from the Rockwell
Automation website. Instead, RSLinx software is used to upload the EDS file
from the option module. To do this, right-click the EtherNet/IP drive that is
shown as a yellow question mark or “Unrecognized Device” in the RSWho
dialog box and choose “Upload EDS file from device” as shown below. Uploading
the EDS file also uploads the icon files for the device. The question mark will
change to a drive (in Adapter mode) or an eTap (in Tap mode).

There are two ways to add the option module into the I/O configuration:
• Drive Add-on Profiles (RSLogix 5000 software, version 16.00 or later)
• Generic Profile (RSLogix 5000 software, all versions)
These are described in the following separate sections. If your version of RSLogix
5000 software supports drive Add-on Profiles, we recommend that you use this
method.
Using RSLogix 5000 Drive Add-on Profiles, Version 16.00 or Later
When compared to using the Generic Profile (all versions), the RSLogix 5000
drive Add-on Profiles provide the following advantages:
• Profiles for specific drives that provide descriptive controller tags for basic
control I/O words (Logic Command/Status and Reference/Feedback)
and
Datalinks. Additionally, Datalinks automatically take the name of the
drive parameter to which they are assigned. These profiles virtually
eliminate I/O mismatch errors and substantially reduce drive
configuration time.
• New Drive tab eliminates the need for a separate drive software
configuration tool.
• Drive configuration settings are saved as part of the RSLogix 5000
software, version 16.00 or later, project file (.ACD) and also downloaded
to the controller.

TIP
• Unicast connection (RSLogix 5000 software, version 18.00 or later)
• Drive Add-on Profiles, version 2.01 or later, enable I/O to be added online
while the controller is in Run mode.
• Drive Add-on Profiles can be updated anytime. When a new drive is used
or to benefit from new updates for Add-on Profiles, you will need the
newest Add-on Profile update. Go to www.ab.com/support/abdrives/
webupdate to download the latest RSLogix 5000 drive Add-on Profile.
Adding the Drive/Option Module to the I/O Configuration
To transmit data between the bridge and the drive, you must add the drive as a
child device to the parent bridge. In this example, RSLogix 5000 software version
20.00 is used with drive Add-on Profile version 4.03. To determine your drive
Add-on Profile version, see Allen-Bradley Knowledgebase document #65882.
1. In the treeview, right-click the bridge and choose New Module to display

this example, PowerFlex 753), select it, and click OK. The database will be uploaded
and stored on the computer. Thereafter, close the Module Definition dialog box and
then re-open it to display the new revision.
• Web Update: When a drive is not available online, opens the Allen-Bradley Drives
Web Updates website to download a specific database file. After downloading the file,
close the Module Definition dialog box and then re-open it to display the new revision.
• Match Drive: Use this button when the drive being added to the network matches
the drive profile (revision, rating, Datalinks, configuration settings, and so forth) of an
existing online network drive. Click this button to conveniently create a duplicate drive
profile from the online drive, and automatically load this identical information into
the Module Definition dialog box. This eliminates the need to manually enter the
information each time a new drive with a matching profile is added to the network.
Compatible Module. The “Compatible Module” setting for Electronic Keying verifies
that the physical module is consistent with the software configuration before the
controller and bridge make a connection. Therefore, be sure that you have set the correct

Definition dialog box for the Input Data and Output Data is the same.
a. Click the button in the topmost blank row to display the
Parameter Properties dialog box for the corresponding Datalink.
Always use the Datalink parameters in consecutive numerical order,
starting with the first parameter. (For example, use Parameters 01, 02,
and 03 to configure three Datalinks to write data and/or Parameters 17,
18, 19, 20, and 21 to configure five Datalinks to read data.) Otherwise,
the network I/O connection will be larger than necessary, which
needlessly increases controller response time and memory usage.
b. From the Port field pull-down menu, choose the port of the device to
which this Datalink will be assigned (for this example, Port 0, the
PowerFlex 753 drive).
c. From the Parameter field pull-down menu for the selected device,
choose the parameter to which this Datalink will point (for this
example, drive parameter 370 - [Stop Mode A]).
d. Click OK to complete configuration of the Datalink.
The name of the parameter that this Datalink points to is now shown in
the row on the Module Definition dialog box.
e. Repeat steps 6a through 6d for each Datalink being configured.
7. Click OK on the Module Definition dialog box to save the drive and
option module configuration, and close the dialog box.

8. Click the Connection tab.
9. In the “Requested Packet Interval (RPI)” box, set the value to 2.0
milliseconds or greater (default is 20.0 milliseconds).
This value determines the maximum interval that a controller should use
to move data to and from the option module. To conserve bandwidth, use
higher values for communicating with low priority devices.
The “Inhibit Module” box, when checked, inhibits the module from
communicating with the RSLogix 5000 project. When the “Major Fault

Using Automatic Device Configuration (ADC) with RSLogix 5000
Software, Version 20.00 or Later
Automatic Device Configuration (ADC) is an ‘RSLogix 5000 software, version
20.00 or later, feature’ that supports the automatic download of configuration
data. This occurs after the Logix controller establishes an EtherNet/IP network
connection to a PowerFlex 750-Series drive, firmware revision 4.001 or later, and
its associated peripherals.
An RSLogix 5000 software, version 16.00 or later, project (.ACD file) contains
the configuration settings for any PowerFlex drives in the project. When the
project is downloaded to the Logix controller, these settings are also transferred
and reside in the controller’s memory. Prior to ADC in RSLogix 5000 software
version 20.00, downloading PowerFlex 750-Series drive configuration data was a
manual process where the user would open the Drive tab in the respective Drive
Add-on Profile (AOP) in RSLogix 5000 software and click the Download icon.
ADC in RSLogix 5000 software, version 20.00 or later, now automates the

process and saves the user time. It is particularly beneficial in a drive replacement
situation when a production line is down.
Use with Stratix 6000 and 8000 switches to provide dynamic IP address
assignment by port. This eliminates the need for the user to manually enter
the IP address, Subnet mask, and Gateway address prior to connecting a
replacement drive to the Ethernet network.
ADC can also work in tandem with Firmware Supervisor. If Firmware Supervisor
is set up and enabled for a drive (“Exact Match” keying must be used), the drive/
peripheral will be automatically upgraded (if necessary) prior to any ADC
operation for that port.
Logix ‘owns’ the configuration of the drive. ADC will be triggered any
time the Logix controller detects a configuration signature mismatch
when establishing an EtherNet/IP network I/O connection. The use of
other configuration tools, such as a HIM, DriveExplorer software, or DriveTools
SP software, should be minimized and restricted to monitor-only operation.
Any configuration changes made by these tools will cause a configuration
signature mismatch the next time the Logix controller connects to the device
and ADC will write over any changes made by the other tools. Consider using
the Write Mask function (drive Parameter 888 - [Write Mask Cfg]) to prevent
tools connected to ports other than the Embedded EtherNet/IP port in a
PowerFlex 755 drive from writing to the drive. Any drive configuration changes
should be made with the RSLogix 5000 Add-on Profile (AOP).
Version 4.01 Drive Add-on Profiles (AOPs)
RSLogix 5000 software, version 20.00 ships with version 4.01 Drive Add-on
Profiles (AOPs). Note the following ADC operating status when using version
4.01 Drive AOPs:
• When adding a new drive, ADC is enabled by default for any drive that
supports ADC, such as PowerFlex 753 drives with firmware 7.001 or later,
or PowerFlex 755 drives with firmware 4.001 or later.
• When converting RSLogix 5000 projects, version 16.00…19.00, to version
20.00 projects (with version 4.01 Drive AOPs), ADC will be enabled by
default for any drive that supports ADC, such as PowerFlex 753 drives
with firmware 7.001 or later, or PowerFlex 755 drives with firmware 4.001
or later.
RSLogix 5000 software, version 20.00 can be updated with version 4.02 (or later)
Drive AOPs, which are available via free download at:
To identify the Drive AOP version, click the icon in the upper-left corner of the
Module Properties dialog box and select “About Module Profile.”

IMPORTANT
Version 4.02 (or later) Drive Add-on Profiles (AOPs)
Version 4.02 Drive AOPs require user action to enable ADC. This helps verify
that the user understands ADC operation prior to turning it on. Note the
following ADC operating status when using version 4.02 (or later) Drive AOPs:
• When adding a new drive, ADC is disabled by default for any drive that
supports ADC, such as PowerFlex 753 drives with firmware 7.001 or later,
or PowerFlex 755 drives with firmware 4.001 or later.
• When converting an earlier RSLogix 5000 project to a version 20.00
project that has been updated with version 4.02 (or later) Drive AOPs or
when updating a project created with version 4.01 Drive AOPs, any ADC
settings will be passed through as-is for drives that support ADC. For
example:
– If ADC was disabled for a drive in a previous project, it will remain
disabled.
– If ADC was enabled for a drive using version 4.01 Drive AOPs and that
project was later updated to version 4.02 (or later) Drive AOPs, it will
remain enabled.
Version 4.02 (or later) Drive AOPs also have an ADC icon on the Drive tab to
show general ADC enable/disable status for the drive:
IconMeaning
No ports on the drive have ADC enabled.
At least one port on the drive has ADC enabled.
ADC is not supported.
Clicking the ADC icon will launch the ADC configuration dialog box. This
provides a single, convenient location to enable/disable ADC for any of the ports
on the drive.
Configuring a PowerFlex 750-Series Drive for ADC
ADC is supported by only PowerFlex 753 drives with firmware 7.001 or later,
and PowerFlex 755 drives with firmware 4.001 or later.
ADC is configured within the AOP of the PowerFlex 750-Series drive. Start by
creating or opening a PowerFlex 750-Series drive in the RSLogix 5000 I/O

14. Save your RSLogix 5000 project and download the project to the Logix
controller.
Note that some parameters can affect the minimum/maximum of
other parameters and can cause the settings of these parameters to be
“out of range.” This, in turn, will cause ADC to fail with a module fault
(code 16#0010) “Mode or state of module does not allow object to
perform requested service.”
For example, drive Parameters 520 - [Max Fwd Speed] and 521 - [Max
Rev Speed] affect the minimum/maximum of the following drive
parameters:
• 329 - [Alternate Manual Reference Analog High]
• 547 - [Speed Reference A Analog High]
• 552 - [Speed Reference B Analog High]
• 564 - [Digital Input Manual Reference Analog High]
• 571…577 - [Preset Speed 1…7]
• 602 - [Trim Reference A Analog High]
• 606 - [Trim Reference B Analog High]
Setting drive Parameter 520 or 521 to a lower value could cause the
settings in the above parameters to become “out of range.” If you
adjust Parameter 520 or 521, check the above parameters and make
any necessary updates to verify they are “in range.”
NOTE: It is recommended to review all parameters needed for your
application to verify that they are “in range.” When using version 4.02 (or
later) Drive AOPs, a yellow highlight and text notification in the
Parameters Linear List editor appears to identify out of range parameters.
ADC and Logix Memory
Starting in RSLogix 5000 software, version 16.00, drive configuration settings
have been stored in the project's ACD file which is downloaded and stored in the
controller. Configuration settings for ADC-capable devices contain additional
port and scripting information to choreograph the download process, so
additional Logix memory is used compared with PowerFlex 750-Series drives in
RSLogix 5000 software, version 16.00…19.00 systems. Note these examples of
memory usage:
• A PowerFlex 755 drive with no option modules, minimal parameters
changed from defaults, and no DeviceLogix program consumes
approximately 8.5 kilobytes of Logix memory per drive.
• A PowerFlex 755 drive with four option modules, approximately 50
changed parameters, and a 32-block DeviceLogix program consumes
approximately 25 kilobytes of Logix memory per drive.
The majority of Logix controllers have megabytes of memory available, so this
typically should not be an issue. You can monitor Logix memory usage in
RSLogix 5000 software. From the Controller Properties dialog box, click the
Memory tab.

Storing the Drive’s and Peripherals’ Firmware in the Logix Controller (Firmware Supervisor)
The Logix Firmware Supervisor function has been extended to provide firmware
updates for the peripherals connected to the drive. You must be online and in
program mode with the controller to load/store the firmware supervisor settings.
To configure the controller to check and refresh the correct firmware for the drive
and peripherals, perform the following steps.
1. Verify that “Exact Match” keying is selected in the drive’s and peripherals’
properties dialog boxes.
a. Click the General tab to view the drive’s keying.
b. Right-click each peripheral on the Drive tab and choose Properties to
view the peripheral’s keying.
2. Verify that ControlFLASH firmware kits for each revision of firmware for
each device that should be stored in the controller have been installed on
the computer running RSLogix 5000 software.
3. Verify that a CompactFlash or other storage card has been installed in the
controller.
4. Use RSLogix 5000 software to go online with the controller in Program

Special Considerations When Using a DeviceLogix Program
There are special considerations when a PowerFlex 750-Series drive has ADC
enabled and is running a DeviceLogix program. ADC will download the
DeviceLogix program after the drive is replaced but, by default, the program will
be disabled (not running) since the factory default setting is “Logic disabled” for
a new replacement drive.
If you want the DeviceLogix program to be enabled (run) after ADC, you have to
configure the drive in your project to do this by performing the following steps.
1. Select the PowerFlex 750-Series drive and click the Drive tab.
2. Select the DeviceLogix Port in the device tree.
3. Click the DeviceLogix icon to open the DeviceLogix Editor.
4. From the Edit menu, choose Recovery Mode.

5. Click Enabled to enable DeviceLogix after ADC.
If you do not set up the automatic method described above to enable
DeviceLogix after ADC, you can still do so manually. To enable the DeviceLogix
program, set DeviceLogix Parameter 53 - [DLX Operation] to “0” (Enable
Logic) by using one of these methods:
• An explicit message in the Logix program to write to the parameter.
• A HIM or drive software tool to set the parameter.
Note that after setting DeviceLogix Parameter 53 to “0” (Enable Logic), the value
will be changed by the drive to “6” (Logic Enabled) to indicate operation status.
Do not set DeviceLogix parameter 53 - [DLX Operation] to “0” (Enable Logic) in
the Add-on Profile configuration before saving the configuration to the
controller. This setting would lock the module and prevent writing the higher
numbered parameters, thus causing the ADC download to fail.
Special Considerations When Using a 20-750-S1 Safe Speed Monitor Module
There are special considerations when using ADC with the 20-750-S1 Safe Speed
Monitor Module. Safety requires manual intervention by the user before the
drive can become operational. Although a manual ‘step’ is required, ADC can still
be used.
Firmware Supervisor cannot be used to update the 20-750-S1 Safe Speed
Monitor Module firmware. This is due to unique upgrade components with its
safety core. It can be manually upgraded using ControlFLASH, a 1203-USB
Serial Converter, and the appropriate upgrade file.
In addition to the configuration of the Safe Speed Monitor Module, the
password for the Module is stored in the configuration script in the controller
and used as part of the connection process to allow the configuration stored in
the controller to be downloaded to the Module. This password will need to be
entered into the profile for the Safe Speed Monitor Module in the drive’s Module
Properties dialog box in RSLogix 5000 software. This password value is the value
entered in parameter 13 of the Safe Speed Monitor Module on controller
download to the Module, which is required by procedure to be recorded by the
user for future use when interacting with the Module. When using this password
in the future, it would be entered into parameter 1 for the Safe Speed Monitor

Chapter 4Configuring the I/O
IMPORTANT
Module to allow either locking via parameter 5 or password changing via
parameters 13 and 17.
Do not set Safe Speed Monitor Module parameter 5 [Lock
State] to “1” (Lock); or parameter 6 [Operating Mode] to “1”
(Run) in the Add-on Profile configuration before saving the
configuration to the controller. Setting these parameters would
lock the Module and prevent writing the higher numbered
parameters, thus causing the ADC download to fail. These two
parameters need to be changed manually after performing an
upload or after the ADC download.
The following manual steps may be needed to take an existing configured Safe
Speed Monitor Module (for example, replacing the drive and reusing the existing
Module) out of Run mode to allow the controller to download the configuration
to the Safe Speed Monitor Module. (Note that these manual steps may need to be
performed with the Ethernet cable disconnected from the drive as the controller’s
attempts to configure the Safe Speed Monitor Module will include locking out
writes from other sources, such as the HIM).
1. Inhibit the drive’s connection—or disconnect the communication card
through which the controller is trying to configure the Safe Speed Monitor
Module using ADC.
2. Set Safe Speed Monitor Module parameter 1 [Password] to the Module’s
current password.
3. Set Safe Speed Monitor Module parameter 5 [Lock State] to “0” (Unlock).
4. Set Safe Speed Monitor Module parameter 6 [Operating Mode] to “0”
(Program).
5. If the Safe Speed Monitor Module’s current password is not “0,” change the
password of the Module to “0.”
6. Set Safe Speed Monitor Module parameter 1 [Password] to the Module’s
current password.
7. Set Safe Speed Monitor Module parameter 13 [New Password] to “0.”
8. Set Safe Speed Monitor Module parameter 17 [Password Command] to
“1” (Change PW).
9. Uninhibit the connection or reconnect the cable.
The controller can download the new configuration, including the new
password.
The following manual steps are required to put the Safe Speed Monitor Module
into Run mode, generate a configuration signature, and lock the configuration.
These steps also need to be performed when replacing the Safe Speed Monitor
Module with a new, “out of the box” unit.
1. Set Safe Speed Monitor Module parameter 6 [Operating Mode] to “1”
(Run).

A configuration signature is generated.
2. Access Safe Speed Monitor Module parameter 10 [Signature ID] and
record the configuration signature value stored in this parameter.
3. Enter the current password for the Safe Speed Monitor Module into
parameter 1 [Password].
4. Set Safe Speed Monitor Module parameter 5 [Lock State] to “1” (Lock).
These steps can be performed with a HIM, drive software configuration tool, or
via an HMI that can trigger explicit message writes from the controller program.
To meet SIL CL3, PLe, or Cat 4 requirements, the user must verify that the
correct configuration is locked in the Safe Speed Monitor Module. See the drive
and Safe Speed Monitor Module documentation for more information.
Monitoring ADC Progress
The time it takes for the ADC process to complete will vary from seconds to
several minutes depending on several factors:
• The number of peripherals enabled for ADC.
• If a configuration signature for the drive/peripheral indicates a
configuration download needs to be performed for the given port.
• Whether Firmware Supervisor is enabled and needs to upgrade the drive
and/or any peripherals.
• If a 20-750-S1 Safe Speed Monitor option module, which requires a
manual ‘step’ in its configuration process, is used.
• If a DeviceLogix program (Port 14) is used.
With the Firmware Supervisor enabled, startup can take quite a long time. With
all firmware and parameters being updated, it takes approximately 45…55 minutes.
ADC can automatically reset the drive as part of the configuration process. This
is done because some parameters require a reset before they take effect. If a
drive is being replaced with an out-of-the-box drive, you will typically see at
least two resets during the ADC process—one for the parameters in the drive
(Port 0) and, for a PowerFlex 755 drive, one for the parameters in the
embedded EtherNet/IP adapter (Port 13).
See the PowerFlex 750-Series AC Drive Programming Manual, publication 750-

Using the RSLogix 5000 Generic Profile, All Versions
We recommend that you only use the basic RSLogix 5000 software Generic

• A specific drive profile in other versions of RSLogix 5000 software is
unavailable.
• Users are already familiar with a Generic Profile and do not want to
convert an existing project to a drive Add-on Profile (RSLogix 5000
software, version 16.00 or later).

the 32-bit Logic Command and 32-bit Reference, requiring at least two
32-bit words for the Output Size. If any or all of the drive’s sixteen 32-bit
Datalinks are used (see Selecting Master-Slave or Peer-to-Peer Hierarchy
(Adapter mode only) on page 39 or Custom Peer I/O Configuration on
page 42), the Input and Output Size settings must be increased
accordingly.
• Input Size: Start with 3 words and add 1 word for each
read data. For example, if 3 Datalinks—Host [DL To Net xx]
parameters—will be used to read drive or peripheral parameters, add 3
words to the required 3 words for a total of 6 words. You can use option
module DeviceParameter 04 - [DLs To Net Act] to check the total
number of Datalinks being used. Word 0 is a pad word, Word 1 is Logic
Status, Word 2 is Speed Feedback, Word 3 is DL To Net 01, and so
forth (see Figure 13
• Output Size: Start with 2 words and add 1 word for each
to write data. For example, if 7 Datalinks—Host [DL From Net xx]
parameters—will be used to write to drive or peripheral parameters, add
7 words to the required 2 words for a total of 9 words. You can use
option module Device Parameter 03 - [DLs From Net Act] to check
the total number of Datalinks being used. Word 0 is Logic Command,

higher values for communicating with low priority devices.
The “Inhibit Module” box, when checked, inhibits the module from
communicating with the RSLogix 5000 project. When the “Major Fault

Saving the I/O Configuration to the Controller
After adding the bridge and drive/option module to the I/O configuration, you
must download the configuration to the controller. You should also save the
configuration to a file on your computer.
When using RSLogix 5000 software, version 16.00 or later, you can add the I/O
configuration of a Generic Profile while the controller is online and in the Run
mode.

4. Any Datalinks that were enabled in the controller and option module
during I/O configuration must also be configured in the drive. Each
Datalink being used must be assigned to a specific parameter in the drive
or connected peripheral (see Selecting Master-Slave or Peer-to-Peer
Hierarchy (Adapter mode only) on page 39 or Custom Peer I/O

variables and requirements with any application. Rockwell Automation, Inc.
does not assume responsibility or liability (to include intellectual property

On CIP-based networks, including EtherNet/IP, I/O connections are used to
transfer the data which controls the PowerFlex drive and sets its Reference. I/O
can also be used to transfer data to and from Datalinks in PowerFlex 750-Series
drives.
The option module includes the Logic Command, Logic Status, Reference,
Feedback, and memory allocation for the Generic Ethernet module profile (all as
32-bit words) in the controller’s I/O image. This basic I/O must always be
configured in the EtherNet bridge using RSLogix 5000 software. Additional I/O,
if needed, can be set using up to 16 Datalinks to write data and/or up to 16
Datalinks to read data. When using any combination of these Datalinks, add one
32-bit word for each

Chapter 5Using the I/O (Adapter mode only)
Understanding the I/O Image
The terms input and output are defined from the controller’s point of view.
Therefore, output I/O is data that is produced by the controller and consumed by
the option module. Input I/O is status data that is produced by the option
module and consumed as input by the controller. The I/O image will vary based
on the following :
• How many of the drive’s 32-bit Datalinks (Host DL From Net 01-16 and
Host DL To Net 01-16) are used.
• ControlLogix/CompactLogix Controllers only—The drive profile used
in RSLogix 5000 software (drive Add-on Profile in version 16.00 or later,
or Generic Profile in all versions).
ControlLogix Controller Image
Since the drive Add-on Profile in RSLogix 5000 software, version 16.00 or later,
provides descriptive controller tags, the I/O image (tag size and location) is
automatically configured based on the drive being used. When using the RSLogix
5000 Generic Profile, however, controller tags are not descriptive or defined.

TIP
Using Logic Command/Status
Using Reference/Feedback
The Logic Command is a 32-bit word of control data produced by the controller
and consumed by the option module. The Logic Status is a 32-bit word of status
data produced by the option module and consumed by the controller.
When using a ControlLogix controller, the Logic Command word is always
DINT 0 in the output image and the Logic Status word is always:
• DINT 0 in the input image when using the drive Add-on Profile.
• DINT 1 when using the Generic Profile.
This manual contains the bit definitions for compatible products available at the
time of publication in Appendix
750-Series Drives.
The Reference is a 32-bit REAL (floating point) piece of control data produced by
the controller and consumed by the option module. The Feedback is a 32-bit
REAL (floating point) piece of status data produced by the option module and
consumed by the controller.
When using a ControlLogix controller, the 32-bit REAL Reference is always
DINT 1 in the output image (see Ta b l e 3
always:
• DINT 1 in the input image when using the drive Add-on Profile.
• DINT 2 when using the Generic Profile.
D, Logic Command/Status Words: PowerFlex
) and the 32-bit REAL Feedback is
When using a drive Add-on Profile, the Reference and Feedback are
automatically formatted properly and displayed as a controller tag. When using
the Generic Profile, the I/O image is integer-based and the Reference and
Feedback are floating point. Because of this, a COP (Copy) instruction or User
Defined Data Type (UDDT) is required to correctly write values to the
Reference and read values from the Feedback. See the ladder logic program
examples in Figure 20
The Reference and Feedback 32-bit REAL value represents drive speed. The
scaling for the speed Reference and Feedback are dependent on drive Parameter
300 - [Speed Units]. For example, if Parameter 300 is set to Hz, a 32-bit REAL
Reference value of “30.0” would equal a Reference of 30.0 Hz. If Parameter 300 is
set to RPM, a 32-bit REAL Reference value of “1020.5” would equal a Reference
of 1020.5 RPM. Note that the commanded maximum speed can never exceed the
value of drive Parameter 520 - [Max Fwd Speed]. Ta b l e 4

and Figure 21.
When using the drive Add-on Profile, the controller tags for Reference and

for data conversion using COP (copy) instructions or a UDDT to copy the DINT
data into a REAL word.

Using Datalinks
A Datalink is a mechanism used by PowerFlex drives to transfer data to and from
the controller. Datalinks allow a drive parameter value to be read or written to
without using an Explicit Message. When enabled, each Datalink occupies one
32-bit word in a ControlLogix controller.
The following rules apply when using PowerFlex 750-Series drive Datalinks:
• The target of a Datalink can be any Host parameter, including those of a
peripheral. For example, drive parameter 535 - [Accel Time 1] can be the
target of any or all option modules installed in the drive.
• The data passed through the drive’s Datalink mechanism is determined by
the settings of Host Parameters 01…16 - [DL From Net 01-16] and Host Parameters 17…32 - [DL To Net 01-16].
A reset is always required after configuring Datalinks so that the
changes take effect.
• When an I/O connection that includes Datalinks is active, those Datalinks
being used are locked and cannot be changed until that I/O connection
becomes idle or inactive.
• When you use a Datalink to change a value, the value is NOT written to
the Nonvolatile Storage (NVS). The value is stored in volatile memory and
lost when the drive loses power. Thus, use Datalinks when you need to
change a value of a parameter frequently.
Datalinks for PowerFlex 750-Series drive peripherals (embedded EtherNet/IP
adapter on PowerFlex 755 drives only and option modules such as an encoder or a
communication module) are locked when the peripheral has an I/O connection
with a controller. When a controller has an I/O connection to the drive, the drive
does not allow a reset to defaults, configuration download or anything else that
90Rockwell Automation Publication 750COM-UM008A-EN-P - July 2012
TIP
Using the I/O (Adapter mode only)Chapter 5
could change the makeup of the I/O connection in a running system. The I/O
connection with the controller must first be disabled to allow changes to the
respective Datalinks.
Depending on the controller being used, the I/O connection can be disabled by
doing the following:
• Inhibiting the module in RSLogix 5000 software
• Putting the controller in Program mode
• Placing the scanner in idle mode
• Disconnecting the drive from the network
DeviceLogix Datalinks are also locked while the DeviceLogix program is
running. The DeviceLogix program must first be disabled to allow changes to the
Datalinks. Set DeviceLogix parameter 53 - [DLX Operation] to “DisableLogic”
to disable the logic (the parameter value will then change to “LogicDisabld”).
When using the drive Add-on Profile, the controller tags for Reference and
Feedback to Datalinks are automatically and properly formatted.
If a Generic Profile is used, a COP (Copy) instruction or a UDDT is needed—for
REAL parameters, speed Reference, and speed Feedback only—to copy the
DINT data into a REAL word for input data conversion. For output data
conversion, a COP (Copy) instruction or UDDT is needed—for REAL parameters,
speed Reference, and speed Feedback only—to copy the REAL data into a
DINT word. To determine whether a parameter is a 32-bit integer (DINT) or a
REAL data type, see the Data Type column in the chapter containing
parameters in the PowerFlex 750-Series AC Drives Programming Manual
(publication 750-PM001
).

About Explicit Messaging
ATTENTION: Risk of equipment damage exists. If Explicit Messages are
programmed to write parameter data to Nonvolatile Storage (NVS) frequently,
the NVS will quickly exceed its life cycle and cause the drive to malfunction. Do
not create a program that frequently uses Explicit Messages to write parameter
data to NVS. Datalinks do not write to NVS and should be used for frequently
changed parameters.

Explicit Messaging is used to transfer data that does not require continuous
updates. With Explicit Messaging, you can configure and monitor a slave device’s
parameters on the network.
When an explicit message is performed, by default no connection is made since it
is an “unconnected” message. When timing of the message transaction is
important, you can create a dedicated message connection between the
controller and drive by checking the “Connec ted” box on the Communications tab
message configuration dialog box during message setup. These message
connections are in addition to the I/O connection. However, the trade off for more
message connections is decreased network performance. If your application
cannot tolerate this, do not check the “Connected” box, which is recommended.

(1) Enables access to drive parameters (Por t 0), DPI device parameters (Ports 1…6 only), and Host param eters (Ports 7…14 only). For
example, DPI Parameter Object Class code 0x93 can access a S afe Speed Monitor option module in Por t 6. However, Class code 0x93
cannot access, for example, the Host parameters in a 24V I/O option module in Port 5. See DPI Parameter Object
instance (parameter) numbering.
(2) Enables access to drive parameters (Por t 0) and Host parameters for all ports (1…14). Host DPI Parameter Object Class code 0x9F
cannot access DPI (device) parameters. For example, if a 20-750-DNET option module is in Port 4, its Host parameters can be
accessed, but not its DPI (device) parameters. See Host DPI Parameter Object
To message to another device in a different drive port, see the Instance table in
Appendix C:
• DPI Parameter Object section on page 163
• Host DPI Parameter Object section on page 177
In the Message Configuration dialog box, set the Instance field to an appropriate
value within the range listed for the port in which the device resides.
PowerFlex 750-Series drives have explicit messaging limitations. Ta bl e 5 shows
the EtherNet/IP Object Class code compatibilities for these drives.

Performing Explicit
Messaging
There are five basic events in the Explicit Messaging process. The details of each
step will vary depending on the type of controller being used. See the
documentation for your controller.
There must be a request message and a response message for all Explicit
Messages, whether you are reading or writing data.

EventDescription
You format the required data and set up the ladder logic program to send an Explicit Message request to the
scanner or bridge module (download).
The scanner or bridge module transmits the Explicit Message Request to the slave device over the network.
The slave device transmits the Explicit Message Response back to the scanner. The data is stored in the
scanner buffer.
