Getting Started

The adapter is intended for installation into a PowerFlex 7-Class drive and is used for network communication. The 20-COMM-D Series B adapter, firmware revision 2.xxx or later, can also be installed in an External DPI Comms Kit (20-XCOMM-DC-BASE).

For PowerFlex 750-Series drives, we recommend using the 20-750-DNET DeviceNet option module instead of the 20-COMM-D adapter. However, this manual does include information on using the 20-COMM-D adapter with PowerFlex 750-Series drives—but there are operating limitations. For details, see Compatible Products

Optional I/O Board (20-XCOMM-IO-OPT1)

• Switches to set a node address and network data rate before applying power to the PowerFlex drive, or you can disable the switches and use adapter parameters to configure these functions.

• Status indicators that report the status of the drive communications, the adapter, and network. They are visible when the drive cover is open or closed.

• Parameter-configured I/O (Logic Command/Reference and up to four pairs of Datalinks) to accommodate application requirements.

• Explicit Messaging and UCMM (Unconnected Message Manager) support.

• Multiple data exchange methods (Polled, Cyclic, and Change of State) to transmit data between the network and adapter.

• Master-Slave or Peer-to-Peer hierarchy that can be set up so that the adapter and connected PowerFlex drive transmit data to and from either a scanner or another PowerFlex drive on the network.

• User-defined fault actions to determine how the adapter and connected drive respond to the following:

– I/O messaging communication disruptions (Comm Flt Action) – Controllers in idle mode (Idle Flt Action)

20-COMM-D DeviceNet Adapter User Manual

Publication 20COMM-UM002G-EN-P

Getting Started 1-3

• Faulted node recovery support. You can configure a device even when it is faulted on the network if you have a configuration tool that uses faulted node recovery and have set the data rate switch to ‘PGM’ (Program). The adapter then uses parameter settings for the data rate and node address instead of switch settings.

• Access to any PowerFlex drive and its connected peripherals on the network to which the adapter is connected.

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 an adapter.

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, start up, configuration, and subsequent maintenance of the product using an adapter. Failure to comply may result in injury and/or equipment damage.

ATTENTION: Risk of equipment damage exists. The adapter 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 adapter. 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 adapter is transmitting control I/O to the drive, the drive may fault when you reset the adapter. Determine how your drive will respond before resetting an adapter.

ATTENTION: Risk of injury or equipment damage exists. Parameters 10 - [Comm Flt Action], 11 - [Idle Flt Action], and 34 - [Peer Flt Action] let you determine the action of the adapter

and connected drive if communication is disrupted or the controller is idle. By default, these parameters fault the drive. You can set 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 faulted controller).

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.

For more details on status indicator operation, see page 7-2 and page 7-3.

Configuring and Verifying Key Drive Parameters

The PowerFlex 7-Class 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. Use drive Parameter 090 - [Speed Ref A Sel] to set the drive speed

Reference to ‘22’ (DPI Port 5).

2. If hard-wired discrete digital inputs are not used to control the drive,

verify that unused digital input drive Parameters 361 - [Dig In1 Sel] and 366 - [Dig In2 Sel] are set to ‘0’ (Not Used).

20-COMM-D DeviceNet Adapter User Manual

Publication 20COMM-UM002G-EN-P

2-10 Installing the Adapter

3. Verify that drive Parameter 213 - [Speed Ref Source] is reporting that

the source of the Reference to the drive is ‘22’ (DPI Port 5).

This ensures that any Reference commanded from the network can be monitored by using drive Parameter 002 - [Commanded Speed]. If a problem occurs, this verification step provides the diagnostic capability to determine whether the drive/adapter or the network is the cause.

TIP: For PowerFlex 750-Series drives, use drive Parameter 545 [Speed Ref A Sel] to set the drive speed Reference:

a. Set the Port field to ‘Port 0 - PowerFlex 75x’.

b. Set the Parameter field to point to the port in which the

20-COMM-D adapter/20-750-20COMM Communication Carrier Card are installed (for example, ‘876 - Port 6 Reference’).

The number ‘876’ in the Parameter field of the example is the parameter in the drive that points to the port.

Commissioning the Adapter

To commission the adapter, you must set a unique node address on the network. See Setting the Node Address details about node addresses.

Important: New settings for some adapter parameters are recognized only

when power is applied to the adapter or it is reset. After you change parameter settings, cycle power or reset the adapter.

Setting the Data Rate

If the adapter Data Rate switch (Figure 2.2) is set to ‘PGM’ (Program), the value of Parameter 03 - [DN Addr Cfg] determines the node address. We recommend not to use the default node address 63 because all new devices on the network use this address as the default address. Also, node address 63 is used for Automatic Device Recovery (ADR).

1. Set the value of Parameter 03 - [DN Addr Cfg] to a unique node

address.

2. Reset the adapter (see Resetting the Adapter

When the node address is correctly configured and the adapter is connected to an operational network, the NET A status indicator should be steady green or flashing green.

If the adapter Data Rate switch (Figure 2.2) is set to ‘PGM’ (Program), the value of Parameter 05 - [DN Rate Cfg] determines the data rate. The default Autobaud setting will detect the data rate used on the network if another device is setting the data rate. Your application may require a different setting.

Setting the I/O Configuration

The I/O configuration determines the data that is sent to and from the drive. Logic Command/Status, Reference/Feedback, and Datalinks may be enabled or disabled. (Datalinks allow you to read/write directly to parameters in the drive using implicit I/O.) A ‘1’ enables the I/O and a ‘0’ disables the I/O.

1. Set the bits in Parameter 13 - [DPI I/O Cfg].

Bit 0 is the right-most bit. It is highlighted above and equals ‘1’.

2. If a controller is used to control the drive, set adapter Parameters 25 [M-S Input] and 26 - [M-S Output] for Master-Slave Hierarchy.

For details, see Setting a Master-Slave Hierarchy (Scanner-to-Drive

Communication) on page 3-5.

3. If Logic Command/Reference is enabled, configure the parameters in the drive to accept the Logic Command and Reference from the adapter.

For example, set Parameter 90 - [Speed Ref A Sel] in a PowerFlex 70 or 700 drive to ‘22’ (DPI Port 5) so that the drive uses the Reference from the adapter. Also, verify that the mask parameters (for example, Parameter 276 - [Logic Mask]) in the drive are configured to receive the desired logic from the adapter. See the documentation for your drive for details.

4. If you enabled one or more Datalinks, configure parameters in the drive to determine the source and destination of data in the Datalinks.

When using Datalinks, up to 8 drive [Data In xx] parameters (300…307) and/ or up to 8 [Data Out xx] parameters (310…317) must be assigned to point to the appropriate drive parameters for your application. See Chapter 4

5. Reset the adapter (see Resetting the Adapter

The adapter is ready to receive I/O. You must now configure the adapter to receive I/O from a master or peer device. See Selecting Master-Slave or

Selecting Master-Slave or Peer-to-Peer Hierarchy

A hierarchy determines the type of device with which the adapter exchanges data. In a Master-Slave hierarchy, the adapter exchanges data with a master, such as a scanner (1756-DNB, 1771-SDN, 1747-SDN, and so forth). In a Peer-to-Peer hierarchy, the adapter exchanges data with one or more DeviceNet adapters connected to other drives. (The drives must have compatible Logic Command/Status words.)

4. Set Parameters 42 - [Peer Out Time] and 43 - [Peer Out Skip] to establish the minimum and maximum intervals between Peer messages.

Because the adapter transmits Peer messages when a change-of-state condition occurs, minimum and maximum intervals are required.

– The minimum interval ensures that the adapter does not transmit

messages on the network too often, thus minimizing network traffic. It is set using Parameter 42 - [Peer Out Time].

– The maximum interval ensures that the adapter transmits messages

often enough so that the receiving adapters can receive recent data and verify that communication is working or, if communication is not working, can timeout. The maximum interval is the value of

Parameter 42 - [Peer Out Time] multiplied by the value of Parameter 43 - [Peer Out Skip].

5. Set Parameter 41 - [Peer Out Enable] to ‘1’ (On).

The adapter will transmit the data selected in Parameters 39 - [Peer A Output] and 40 - [Peer B Output] to the network. Another adapter must be configured to receive the peer I/O data.

Setting the Adapter to Receive Peer-to-Peer Data

Important: The device receiving peer data must match the data sizes of the

sending device. For example, if the sending device uses a 16-bit Reference, the receiving device must also use a 16-bit Reference. Datalinks, if used, must also be the same size.

1. Verify that Parameter 37 - [Peer Inp Enable] is set to ‘0’ (Off).

This parameter must be Off while you configure the peer input parameters.

2. Set Parameter 35 - [Peer Node to Inp] to the address of the node from

which you want to receive data.

Valid nodes must have 20-COMM-D adapters connected to drives with compatible Logic Command/Status words.

Selecting COS, Cyclic or Polled I/O

The data exchange (sometimes called allocation) is the method that the adapter uses to exchange data on the DeviceNet network. Polled is the default and is recommended—unless one of the other following data exchanges, also supported by the adapter, is more appropriate for your application:

• COS (Change of State) • Polled and COS

• Cyclic • Polled and Cyclic

• Polled

If ‘Polled and COS’ or ‘Polled and Cyclic’ is used, the adapter receives the I/O from the polled messages. It transmits its Logic Status and Feedback in COS or Cyclic messages. Other data is transmitted in Polled messages.

Cyclic and Polled data exchanges are configured in the scanner, so you only need to set the I/O configuration in the adapter. COS data exchange must be configured in both the adapter and the scanner. You need to set the I/O configuration and COS parameters in the adapter.

Using COS (Change of State) Data Exchange

1. Set Bit 0 (the Logic Command/Reference bit) in Parameter 13 - [DPI I/O Config] to ‘1’ (Enabled) and Bit 0 (the Logic Status/Feedback bit)

in Parameter 26 - [M-S Output] to ‘1’ (Enabled).

Changes to bits in the Logic Status/Feedback trigger messages in COS data exchange.

2. Set Parameter 27 - [COS Status Mask] for the bits in the Logic Status word that should be checked for changes.

The bit definitions for the Status Mask will depend on the drive to which the adapter is connected. See Appendix documentation.

Setting a Fault Action

By default, when I/O communication is disrupted (for example, a cable is disconnected) or the controller is idle (in program mode or faulted), the drive responds by faulting if it is using I/O from the network. You can configure a different response to these faults:

• Disrupted I/O communication by using Parameter 10 - [Comm Flt

Action]

• An idle controller by using Parameter 11 - [Idle Flt Action]

ATTENTION: Risk of injury or equipment damage exists. Parameters 10 - [Comm Flt Action] and 11 - [Idle Flt Action]

let you determine the action of the adapter and connected drive if I/O communication is disrupted or the controller is idle. By default, these parameters fault the drive. You can set 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 faulted controller).

Changing the Fault Action

Set the values of Parameters 10 - [Comm Flt Action] and 11 - [Idle Flt Action] to an action that meets your application requirements.

Using the DeviceNet Tag Generator to Create Descriptive Controller Tags (Optional)

DeviceNet controller tags are non-descriptive for I/O configurations in RSLogix 5000 projects. However, the DeviceNet Tag Generator, a free Rockwell software tool, can generate 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.

Important: The DeviceNet Tag Generator will only create correct tag

names if the EDS file being used is downloaded from the website (see Downloading the EDS File from Rockwell

Automation Website on page 4-8)—not created from the

network. Also, the DeviceNet Tag Generator is not supported on PowerFlex 700S and PowerFlex 750-Series drives.

To use the DeviceNet Tag Generator, the following compatible software is required.

Software Required Version

RSNetWorx for DeviceNet 7.00 (or later)

RSLinx Classic 2.51 (or later)

RSLogix 5000 13.00 (or later)

The DeviceNet Tag Generator is only recommended when:

• A new DeviceNet system and/or new drive is being installed.

• Migration to required software is acceptable for an existing system or

application.

The free DeviceNet Tag Generator software is available for download on the Rockwell Automation website http://www.rockwellautomation.com/

About I/O Messaging

On CIP-based networks, including DeviceNet, 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 7-Class drives.

The adapter provides many options for configuring and using I/O, including the following:

• Configuring the size of I/O by enabling or disabling the Logic

Command/Reference and Datalinks

• Setting a Master-Slave hierarchy or a Peer-to-Peer hierarchy

5-2 Using the I/O

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 adapter. Input I/O is status data that is produced by the adapter and consumed as input by the controller. The I/O image will vary based on the following:

• Size (either 16-bit or 32-bit) of the Reference/Feedback words and

Datalink words used by the drive. To determine the size of the Reference/Feedback and Datalinks, view adapter Parameters 07 - [Ref/ Fdbk Size] and 08 - [Datalink Size]. For information to access parameters, see Using the PowerFlex 7-Class HIM to Access

Parameters on page 3-2.

• Configuration of I/O (Parameter 13 - [DPI I/O Cfg]). If all I/O is not

enabled, the image is truncated. The image always uses consecutive words starting at word 0.

ControlLogix Controller Image

Controller tag names for the I/O image may vary based on the drive being used and whether the DeviceNet Tag Generator software tool was used to replace the generic (non-descriptive) names with descriptive names.

The ControlLogix controller I/O image changes depending on the size of the drive’s Reference/Feedback and Datalinks, and the number of Datalinks used. Tab l e 5.A various PowerFlex 7-Class drives, and all Datalinks enabled.

TIP: The ControlLogix controller’s 1756-DNB scanner is a DWORD (double word) device. The following tables show the I/O as 32-bit words. For example, if 4 bytes, 2 words, or one DWORD is consumed, then the lower 16 bits of the output (Least Significant Word) is the Logic Command word and the upper 16 bits (Most Significant Word) is the speed Reference. For the input, the lower 16 bits (LSW) is the Logic Status word and the upper 16 bits (MSW) is the speed Feedback.

Using Logic Command/ Status

Using Reference/Feedback

The Logic Command is a 16-bit word of control data produced by the controller and consumed by the adapter. The Logic Status is a 16-bit word of status data produced by the adapter and consumed by the controller. PowerFlex 750-Series drives have a 32-bit Logic Command/Status—but when using a 20-COMM-D adapter only the first 16 bits can be used.

This manual contains the bit definitions for most compatible products available at the time of publication in Appendix

Word s. For other products, see their documentation.

The Reference is produced by the controller and consumed by the adapter. The Feedback is produced by the adapter and consumed by the controller. The size of the Reference/Feedback is determined by the drive and can be displayed with adapter Parameter 07 - [Ref/Fdbk Size].

PowerFlex 70/700/700H, and PowerFlex 700L Drives with 700 Control

The Reference/Feedback value is a scaled engineering value; it is not in Hertz or RPM. The Reference uses a ‘32767’ scale. The ‘32767’ endpoint of the scale is equal to the value of drive parameter 55 - [Maximum Freq], which has a default value of 130 Hz. For these drives, default scaling is 0…15123 which is equal to 0…60.0 Hz. This is based on the formula shown below. Reference/Feedback scaling is limited by drive parameter 82 - [Maximum Speed]. If the default value of 60 Hz. for parameter 82 - [Maximum Speed] is changed, the speed Reference/Feedback scaling also changes. To determine Reference/Feedback scaling, use the following formula:

(Parameter 82 ÷ Parameter 55) * 32767 = Scaling

Using drive parameter 82 and 55 default values, speed Reference/Feedback scaling is:

(60 Hz ÷ 130 Hz) * 32767 = 15123

Therefore, 0…15123 = 0…60.0 Hz.

If parameter 82 - [Maximum Speed] is changed to 90 Hz, then:

(90 Hz ÷ 130 Hz) * 32767 = 22685

Therefore, 0…22685 = 0…90.0 Hz.

A graphic representation of this Reference/Feedback scaling is shown below.

For PowerFlex 70 drives with enhanced control, firmware 2.xxx or later, or PowerFlex 700 drives with vector control, firmware 3.xxx or later, drive parameter 298 - [DPI Ref Select] was added to simplify scaling for the speed Reference/Feedback. When drive parameter 298 - [DPI Ref Select] is set to its default ‘0’ (Max Freq), the speed Reference/Feedback scaling is as shown above. However, when parameter 298 - [DPI Ref Select] is set to ‘1’ (Max Speed), the speed Reference/Feedback scaling is equal to parameter 82 - [Max Speed]:

Parameter 82 = Scaling

Using the parameter 82 default value, speed Reference/Feedback scaling is:

0…32767 = 0…60.0 Hz.

20-COMM-D DeviceNet Adapter User Manual

Publication 20COMM-UM002G-EN-P

5-8 Using the I/O

If parameter 82 - [Maximum Speed] is changed to 90 Hz, then:

90 Hz = 32767

Speed Feedback uses the same scaling as the speed Reference.

TIP: For PowerFlex 700 drives with vector control, firmware 3.xxx or later, parameter 299 - [DPI Fdbk Select] enables you to select the feedback data coming from the drive over DPI. The default is ‘Speed Fdbk’ in Hz or RPM determined by parameter 079 - [Speed Units]. The data selection for parameter 299 is also displayed on the 1st line of the HIM and on DriveExplorer and DriveExecutive software screens in the drive status area of the screen.

PowerFlex 700S and PowerFlex 700L Drives with 700S Control

The Reference/Feedback value is:

32767 = Base Motor Speed

The base speed is set using drive parameter 4 - [Motor RPM]. To set a speed Reference/Feedback above base speed, a value greater than 32767 must be entered.

For 16-bit processors, such as PLC-5 and SLC 500 controllers, the data requires manipulation to set a speed Reference above 32767 or below

-32767. Please see the PowerFlex 700S AC Drives Phase II Control

Reference Manual, publication PFLEX-RM003, in the Chapter 1 ‘Communications’ section. Then go to the ‘PLC 5 or SLC System’ subsection and see the ‘Reference/Feedback Programming’ sub-subsection.

PowerFlex 753/755 Drives

The Reference/Feedback value is Hz x 1000 or RPM x 1000. Drive parameter 300 - [Speed Units] determines whether the scaling is Hz or RPM. The default scaling is Hz, where 0…60,000 equates to 0…60.000 Hz. When parameter 300 is set to RPM, then 0…1,765,000 equates to 0…1765.000 RPM.

PowerFlex Digital DC Drives

The Reference/Feedback value is:

25000 = Maximum Reference Speed

The maximum reference speed is set using drive parameter 45 - [Max Ref Speed].

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 without using an Explicit Message. When enabled, each Datalink occupies two 16-bit or 32-bit words in both the input and output image. Use adapter Parameter 08 - [Datalink Size] to determine whether the drive uses 16-bit or 32-bit words for Datalinks.

Rules for Using Datalinks

• Each set of Datalink parameters in a PowerFlex drive can be used by

only one adapter. If more than one adapter is connected to a single drive, multiple adapters cannot use the same Datalink.

• Parameter settings in the drive determine the data passed through the

Datalink mechanism. See the documentation for your drive.

• When you use a Datalink to change a value, the value is not written to

the Nonvolatile Storage (NVS) memory. 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.

Datalink Scaling

PowerFlex 70/700/700H Drives and PowerFlex 700L Drives with 700 Control

Datalink scaling is not automatic and uses whole numbers (INTs or DINTs). See the drive documentation to determine the unit resolution for the associated parameter Datalink. For example, PowerFlex 700VC drive parameter 3 - [Output Current] has a 0.1 unit resolution. Because Datalink scaling uses whole numbers, the Output Current value is multiplied by 10 in the adapter and then sent over the network. Suppose the actual Output Current value is 35.5 amps. Reading the associated parameter Datalink received by the controller, the value would be 355. By using ladder logic, divide the value by 10 in the controller to get the correct scaling. See the drive documentation to determine if the Datalink parameter is a 16-bit or 32-bit parameter.

5-10 Using the I/O

PowerFlex 700S, PowerFlex 700L with 700S Control, PowerFlex 753/755, and PowerFlex Digital DC Drives

Datalinks require scaling in the following way. Parameters are either 16-bit or 32-bit integers or REALs. When the parameter is a 32-bit integer, the data needs to be copied using a COP command to a DINT tag. (Because PLC-5 and SLC 500 controllers do not support 32-bit integers, the data must be separated into two 16-bit integers.) When the parameter is a REAL, the data needs to be copied using a COP command to a REAL tag. See subsequent sections in this chapter for ladder logic examples. See the drive documentation to determine if the Datalink parameter is a 16-bit or 32-bit integer parameter, or a REAL parameter.

Using 16-Bit Datalinks to Read/Write 32-Bit Parameters

This subsection only pertains to PowerFlex 70 (standard or enhanced control), PowerFlex 700 (standard control), and PowerFlex 700H drives which use 16-bit Datalinks. To read or write a 32-bit parameter using 16-bit Datalinks, typically both Datalinks of a pair (A, B, C, D) are set to the same 32-bit parameter. For example, to read parameter 10 - [Elapsed Run Time] in a PowerFlex 70 drive, both Datalink A1 Out (Parameter 310) and Datalink A2 Out (Parameter 311) are set to ‘10’. Datalink A1 Out will contain the least significant word (LSW) and Datalink A2 Out will contain the most significant word (MSW).

32-bit data is stored in binary as follows:

MSW 2

LSW 215 through 2

In this example, the parameter 10 - [Elapsed Run Time] value of 6553.9 Hrs is read as ‘6553.9’ in Datalink A1 Out (Parameter 310) and Datalink A2 Out (Parameter 311).

Datalink Word Parameter Data (Hex)

A1 Out LSW 10 0003

A2 Out MSW 10 0001

Conversion Example:

Parameter 010 - [Elapsed Run Time] = 6553.9 Hrs MSW = 0001 LSW = 0003 Engineering Value = 65536 + 3 = 65539 Parameter 10 Displayed Value = 6553.9 Hrs

Using the I/O 5-11

Regardless of the Datalink combination, Datalink x1 Out will always contain the LSW and Datalink x2 Out will always contain the MSW. In the following example, the PowerFlex 70 drive parameter 242 - [Power Up Marker] contains a value of 88.4541 hours.

Important: This rung must always be included in the ladder logic program.

Example Datalink Data

The Datalink data used in the example program is shown in Figure 5.8 that to describe the parameters to which the Datalinks are assigned, you may want to add descriptions to the automatically-created generic controller tags or create a User Defined Data Types (UDDT).

Creating Ladder Logic with Descriptive Tags Using RSLogix 5000 Software, Version 13.00 or Later

If the DeviceNet Tag Generator was used in Chapter 4 to automatically create descriptive controller tags for the entire I/O image, these tags can be used to directly control and monitor the drive without creating any ladder logic program. However, if you intend to use Human Machine Interface devices (PanelView, and so forth) to operate the drive and view its status, you will need to create descriptive Program tags (Figure 5.9 logic program that will pass the Controller tag data to the Program tags.

TIP: If the descriptive controller tags created by the DeviceNet Tag Generator are not properly named, the correct EDS file may not have been used. The DeviceNet Tag Generator will only create correct tag names if the EDS file being used is downloaded from the website (see Downloading the

EDS File from Rockwell Automation Website on page 4-8)—not created

from the network.
