Chapter 1 Getting Started
Features The features of the built-in EtherNet/IP adapter include the following:
• Switches are used to set an IP address before power is applied to the
drive. Other methods are also available to configure the IP address:
- Interface parameters
- BOOTP (Bootstrap Protocol) server
- DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) server
• Indicators that report the status of the built-in EtherNet/IP adapter and
network communication. They are visible when the drive cover is open or
closed.
• Controller hierarchy that can be configured to transmit data to and from
a controller.
• 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.
• User-defined fault actions to determine how the built-in
EtherNet/IP adapter and its host drive respond to the following:
- I/O messaging communication disruptions (Comm Flt Action)
- Controllers in Program mode (Idle Flt Action)
- Message (MSG) instructions for drive control via PCCC or the
Common Industrial Protocol (CIP™) based network Assembly Object
(Msg Flt Action)
• Automatic Device Configuration (ADC) and Studio 5000 Logix
Designer® application feature, which supports the automatic download
of configuration data.
Dual Ethernet Ports
Dual Ethernet ports provide connection for star, linear, or Device Level Ring
(DLR) network topologies.
Examples of different EtherNet/IP network topologies are shown in Figure 1
Figure 2
applicable to PowerFlex drives with TotalFORCE® technology with the built-in
Ethernet/IP adapter. For information about linear and Device Level Ring
(DLR) topologies, see EtherNet/IP built-in Switch Technology,
publication ENET-AP005
, and Figure 3. These examples show a PowerFlex 755T drive, but are
.
IMPORTANT
The adapter has EtherNet/IP built-in switch technology, and ENET1 and
ENET2 network ports to connect to a linear or Device Level Ring (DLR)
network in a subnet.
You cannot use the ENET1 and ENET2 network ports as two network
interfaces that are connected to two different Internet Protocol (IP)
subnets.

shipped with the drive. The sections that follow describe some of the other
user-supplied equipment that is also required.
Equipment Shipped with the Drive
Because the EtherNet/IP adapter is built in the main control board in the drive,
it is always a part of the drive. There are no separate physical installation
instructions for the interface.
User-supplied Equipment
To configure the built-in EtherNet/IP adapter, you must supply the following:
• A small screwdriver for setting the network address switches.
• An Ethernet cable.
• An Ethernet switch (see Choose an Ethernet Switch
• A computer connection to the EtherNet/IP network.
on page 13).
See the EtherNet/IP Media Planning and Installation Manual, available from the
Open DeviceNet® Vendor Association (ODVA) at https://www.odva.org
details on how to use the required media components and how to plan for
install, verify, troubleshoot, and certify your EtherNet/IP network.

Chapter 1 Getting Started
Choose an Ethernet Switch
If the built-in EtherNet/IP adapter is used to communicate with a controller
that has multicast connections, a managed switch that supports IGMP
snooping is suggested. EtherNet/IP implicit (I/O) messaging can be
configured to use IP multicast to distribute I/O control data, which is
consistent with the CIP-based network Producer/Consumer model. If multiple
built-in EtherNet/IP adapters are connected to the switch in a redundant
configuration, a managed switch is required. A managed switch also provides
useful diagnostic features such as port mirroring.
The built-in EtherNet/IP adapter supports unicast connections. Unicast is the
default setting when adding the drive to the I/O controller. When all built-in
EtherNet/IP adapters are installed as unicast devices, then an IGMP snooping
(managed) switch is not needed.
The choice of a switch involves many factors. See Ethernet Reference Manual
publication ENET-RM002
switches from Rockwell Automation, see the Stratix® Industrial Networks
Infrastructure At-a-Glance, publication ENET-QR001
for details. For more information about industrial
.
Safety Precautions Read the following safety precautions carefully.
ATTENTION: Risk of injury or equipment damage exists.
• Only personnel familiar with drive and power products and the associated
machinery can plan or implement the installation, start up, configuration. Only
qualified personnel can perform subsequent maintenance of the drive by using
this built-in interface. Failure to comply can result in injury and/or equipment
damage.
• The built-in adapter contains electrostatic discharge (ESD) sensitive parts that
can be damaged if you do not follow ESD control procedures. ESD control
precautions are required when handling the interface. If you are unfamiliar with
ESD control procedures, see Guarding Against Electrostatic Damage,
publication 8000-SB001
• When a system is configured for the first time, unintended or incorrect machine
motion can occur. Disconnect the motor from the machine or process during
initial system testing.

Setting the IP Address There are four ways to configure the built-in EtherNet/IP adapter IP address:
• Interface Rotary Switches — Use the switches when working on a
simple, isolated network (with IP addresses in the range, 192.168.1.xxx),
and you prefer a simplified node addressing method that has other
products with switches to set their IP addresses. See Use Switches to Set
the IP Address on page 16.
• Interface Parameters — Use interface parameters for more flexibility
when configuring the IP address. To use parameters as the source for the
IP address, set the rotary switches to 999. Set 0:300 - [Net Addr Sel] to ‘1’
(Parameters). The IP address, subnet mask, and gateway address come
from the values set using the associated interface 0:302...313. See Use
Interface Parameters to Set the IP Address on page 21.
• BOOTP — Use BOOTP when you want to configure an IP address, subnet
mask, and gateway address for the interface by using a BOOTP server. To
use BOOTP as the source for the IP address, set the rotary switches to
999. Set 0:300 - [Net Addr Sel] to ‘2’ (BOOTP).
See Using a BOOTP or DHCP Server
• DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) Use DHCP when you
want to configure an IP address, subnet mask, and gateway address for
the interface by using a DHCP server. To use DHCP as the source for the
IP address, set the rotary switches to 999.
Set 0:300 - [Net Addr Sel] to ‘3’ (DHCP).
See Using a BOOTP or DHCP Server
on page 23 for details.
on page 23 for details.
IMPORTANT
Regardless of the method that is used to set the interface IP address, each
node on the EtherNet/IP network must have a unique IP address. To
change an IP address, you must set the new value and then remove and
reapply power to (or reset) the interface.
Use Switches to Set the IP Address
Figure 4 - Setting the IP Address Switches
The three interface switches are grouped near the middle of the drive. These
switches are read when the drive powers up, and represent three decimal
digits from top to bottom. If set to a valid address (001…254), the interface uses
that value as the last octet of its IP address (192.168.1.xxx, where xxx = the
16 Rockwell Automation Publication 750COM-UM009B-EN-P - April 2021
Chapter 2 Configure the Adapter
rotary switch settings), along with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 and a
gateway address of 192.168.1.1. Also, the setting for interface 0:300 - [Net Addr
Sel] is automatically ignored.
Table 1 - IP Address Switches Settings
Settings Description
001…254

Any other setting Reserved.
The adapter uses the rotary switch settings for the IP address (192.168.1.xxx, where xxx = the rotary
switch settings). The value that is stored in 0: 300 - [Net Addr Sel] is automatically ignored.
Resets the adapter IP address and other EtherNet/IP communication settings to factory defaults.
Thereafter, the drive must be powered down, the switches set to a correct value (001…254 or 999),
and then the drive must be powered up again to accept the new address.
Disables the rotary switches, and requires using one of the following:
• 0:300 - [Net Addr Sel] selects the source for the interface IP address, which is one of the
following:
–Adapter Parameters
– BOOTP server (default)
– DHCP server firmware
Connecting the Interface to the Network
IMPORTANT
When using the interface rotary switches, set the IP address before power
is applied because the interface uses the switch settings that it detects
when it first receives power.
The switch settings can be verified by viewing Port 0 Diagnostic Item number
68, see Table 21 on page 78
with any of the following drive configuration tools:
• 20-HIM-A6 and 20-HIM-C6S for PowerFlex 755T drives
• Integrated touch screen display (eHIM) or standard HIM (20-750-CS6)
for PowerFlex 6000T drives.
• Connected Components Workbench software, release 11 or later.
Also, you can use 0:301 - [Net Addr Src], a read-only parameter, to verify the
active setting for 0:300 - [Net Addr Sel].
ATTE NT IO N: Risk of injury or death exists. The PowerFlex drive can contain high
voltages that can cause injury or death. Remove power from the drive, and then
verify that power has been discharged before connecting the built-in EtherNet/IP
adapter to the network. Verify that the DC bus has been discharged.
1. Remove power from the drive and discharge any stored power.
2. To access the drive control pod, open the drive door.
3. Use electrostatic discharge (ESD) control precautions.
4. Connect one end of an Ethernet cable to the network.
See Figure 5
Rockwell Automation Publication 750COM-UM009B-EN-P - April 2021 17
for an example of wiring to an EtherNet/IP network.

ATTENTION: Risk of equipment damage, injury, or death exists.
• Unpredictable operation can occur if you fail to verify that parameter settings are
compatible with your application. Verify that settings are compatible with your
application before power is applied to the drive.
• Wear personal protective equipment (PPE) to avoid death or injury when applying
power with the drive door open.
1. Close the cabinet door for the drive.
2. Apply power to the drive.
The built-in EtherNet/IP adapter receives its power from the drive.
ATTENTION: Risk of injury or equipment damage exists. When a system is
configured for the first time, there can be unintended or incorrect machine
motion. Disconnect the motor from the machine or process during initial
system testing.
3. Check the status indicators either by using status parameters, HIM
status, or the software tool status.
When you apply power to the built-in EtherNet/IP adapter for the first
time, its EtherNet/IP status indicator is steady green or flashes green
after an initialization.
If it is red or remains off, see Start-up Status Indications on page 18
.
Start-up Status Indications

After power is applied, the drive STS (status) indicator and the built-in
EtherNet/IP adapter ENET, LNK1, and LNK2 status indicators can be
monitored via status parameters, HIM status, and the software tool status. If
personal protective equipment is worn, you can also view status indicators on

Configuring and Verifying Key Drive Parameters
The drive can be separately configured for the command logic and reference
functions in various combinations. For example, you could set the drive to
have the logic command come from a peripheral or terminal block but have the
reference come from the network. Or you could set the drive to have its control
come from the network with the reference that comes from another peripheral
or terminal block. Or you could set the drive to have both its logic command
and reference come from the network.
The following steps in this section assume that the drive receives the logic
command and reference from the network.
1. To access the required parameters in this procedure, verify that drive
parameter 0:30 - [Access Level] is set to ‘1’ (Advanced) or ‘2’ (Expert).
2. To set the drive velocity reference, use drive 10:1800 - [VRef A Sel].
a. Set the Port field to ‘10 - Pri MtrSideCtrl’ as shown.
b. Set the Parameter field to point to Port 0, which contains the
EtherNet/IP adapter.
c. Then choose Parameter 211 [Emb Enet Ref].
3. Verify that drive 10:350 - [VRef Source] matches your entry to 10:1800
[VRef A Sel].
Any velocity reference that is commanded from the network can be
monitored by using 0:1914 - [VRef Command]. If a problem occurs, this
verification step provides the diagnostic capability to determine whether
the drive, interface, or the network is the cause.
4. If hard-wired discrete digital inputs are not used to control the drive,
verify that all unused digital input drive parameters are set to ‘0’ (Not
Used). These parameters are located in Port 0, in the file Feedback and I/
O, group Command.

parameters instead, you must first change the source for the node address to
Parameters by using 0:300 - [Net Addr Sel]. Set the associated interface
parameters as described in the following subsections.
Using a HIM to Access Parameters
If your drive has a HIM, it can be used to access parameters in the interface.
From the Status screen (20-HIM-A6 or 20-HIM-C6S) or the Dashboard
Parameters tab (eHIM), navigate to Port 0 where the built-in EtherNet/IP
adapter resides.
From the Port 0, you can set the source for the network address, set the
IP address, subnet mask, and gateway address.
For details on how to view and edit parameters, see PowerFlex 20-HIM-A6/C6S HIM (Human Interface Module) User Manual,
publication 20HIM-UM001

Using a BOOTP or DHCP Server
There are various BOOTP and DHCP servers available. The following
instructions use the Rockwell Automation BOOTP/DHCP Server. This is a free
standalone program that incorporates the functionality of standard BOOTP
and DHCP utilities with a graphical interface page installed automatically as
part of the RSLinx® software. It is available at the Product Compatibility and
Download Center (PCDC) at rok.auto/pcdc
. From the website, choose the ‘Find
Downloads’ link and search for the word ‘BOOTP’). See the Read-me file and
online Help for directions and more information.
If the PowerFlex 6000T, 755TM, 755TR, or 755TL drive is connected to a
Stratix 6000 or Stratix 8000 managed Ethernet switch and the drive is set
for BOOTP or DHCP mode, the ‘dynamic IP address assignment by port’
(Stratix 6000) or ‘DHCP persistence’ (Stratix 8000) feature can be used to
set the IP address for the drive. For more details, see the Stratix 6000
Ethernet-Managed Switch User Manual, publication 1783-UM001
, or the
Stratix 8000 and Stratix 8300 Ethernet Managed Switches User Manual,

When the DHCP lease expires, the adapter stops communicating on the
network. A power cycle or option module reset is required.
1. Depending on the type of server (BOOTP or DHCP) being used, set 0:300
- [Net Addr Sel] to either ‘2’ (BOOTP) or ‘3’ (DHCP) respectively.
2. Make note of the Ethernet Address (MAC) of the interface hardware,
which is used in step 5
.
There are two ways to find the media access control (MAC) address:
• Remove the drive cover and locate the hardware Ethernet Address
label on the main control board of the drive (Figure 7
Figure 7 - Location of the Interface Hardware Address Label
).

• Use the HIM to access drive Port 0 and access the built-in EtherNet/IP
adapter DIAGNOSTIC folder screen. Then scroll to Diagnostic Items
43…48 (HW Addr 1…6) to view the hardware Ethernet Address (MAC) of
the interface. Finally, convert these decimal values to hex values.
The eHIM uses local subnet to detect the drive connected to the Stratix
switch. You are able to view the drive profile and change the IP address
in the Device Definition page within the overview tab.
3. On a computer that is connected to the EtherNet/IP network, start the
BOOTP/DHCP software.
4. Edit the Network Settings to match your network.

Optional - the address of the primary Domain Name Service (DNS) server that is used to
locate devices on the network by name instead of by IP address.
Optional - the address of the secondary DNS server to be used on the local end of the link
for negotiating with remote devices when the primary DNS server is unavailable.
Optional - The text name that corresponds to the network containing the BOOTP/DHCP
server and the drive being configured.
5. In the BOOTP/DHCP Request History list, either double-click the
Ethernet Address (MAC) of the interface noted in step 2
, or click New in
the Relation List.
6. Edit the following:
Box Type
IP address A unique IP address for the interface
Host Name Optional - a text name for the drive being configured
Description Optional - text to describe the device that is saved only in the BOOTP/DHCP software
7. After the BOOTP/DHCP Server has provided an IP address, to assign this
configuration permanently to the interface, select the device in the
Relation List, and click Disable BOOTP/DHCP.
When power is cycled on the interface, it uses the configuration that you
assigned it and does not issue new BOOTP or DHCP requests.
8. From the File menu, choose Save to save the Relation List.
Setting the Data Rate By default, the interface is set to autodetect, so it automatically detects the data
rate and duplex setting that is used on the network. If you must set a specific
data rate and duplex setting, use the 0:314 - [Net Rate Cfg 1] and 0:316 - [Net
Rate Cfg 2] values. These values determine the Ethernet data rate and duplex
settings that the interface uses to communicate.
1. Verify that the Ethernet cable is connected to Ethernet port 1 or port 2 to
change the data rate or duplex setting. Port 1 is the connector closest to
the front edge of the control board.
2. Set the value of 0:314 - [Net Rate Cfg 1] or 0:316 - [Net Rate Cfg 2] to the
data rate at which your network is operating.

24 Rockwell Automation Publication 750COM-UM009B-EN-P - April 2021
Chapter 2 Configure the Adapter
Auto detection of the data rate and duplex works only if the device (usually
a switch) on the other end of the cable is also set to detect the rate/duplex.
If one device is using fixed data rate/duplex, the other device must use the
same fixed settings.
3. Reset the interface by cycling power or by using the HIM as described in
Resetting the Adapter on page 28.
Setting Communication Hierarchy
A hierarchy determines the type of device with which the interface exchanges
data. In a controller hierarchy, the interface exchanges data with the
ControlLogix® controller or another communication bridge.
When a multicast I/O connection is used or when the interface does not have a
valid gateway address, the controller must be on the same IP subnet as the
interface to establish an I/O connection.
Setting a Controller Hierarchy
To set the Controller hierarchy, follow the instructions in this section to enable
datalinks to read and write data.
When using the ControlLogix controller, there is no need to configure
datalink parameters. They are assigned when configuring the drive Addon Profile, see Configure Input and Output Data on page 36
Enable Datalinks to Write Data
The controller output image (controller outputs-to-drive) always contains the
logic command and reference fields. It can also have 0...16 additional 32-bit
parameters (datalinks). They are configured using 0:321 - [DL From Net 01] …
336 - [DL From Net 16]. The output connection size in the controller determines
the number of datalinks that are actively used. See the respective controller
example sections in Chapter 3
page 31 for more information on setting the connection size.
Configuring the Drive in a Logix System on
.
IMPORTANT
When using a ControlLogix controller, configure the datalink parameters now
as described in this section.
0:321 - [DL From Net 01] …336 - [DL From Net 16] control which parameters
receive the values from the network. These parameters apply to the drive,
option module, or any other connected peripheral. You can use a HIM, or
another drive configuration tool, such as Connected Components Workbench
software, to select the drive or peripheral by port number and the parameter by
name. As an alternate method, set the parameter value manually by number by
using this formula:
From Net Parameter Value = (10000 * Port Number) + (Destination Parameter Number)
Rockwell Automation Publication 750COM-UM009B-EN-P - April 2021 25
Always use the datalink parameters in consecutive numerical order. Start
with the first parameter. For example, use 0:321… 323 to configure three
datalinks to write data. Otherwise, the network I/O connection size is larger
than necessary, which needlessly increases controller response time and
memory usage.
Chapter 2 Configure the Adapter
For example, if you want to use 0:321 - [DL From Net 01] to write to Parameter
3 of an optional encoder card plugged into drive Port 5. By using the formula,
the value for 0:321- [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 that write data to the drive and are included in the
network I/O connection.
2. Reset the drive by cycling power to the drive or by using the Reset Device
function of the HIM located in the DIAGNOSTIC folder for the drive. See
Resetting the Adapter
on page 28.
3. Because the logic command and reference are always used in the
interface, configure the parameters in the drive to accept the logic
command and reference from the interface.
When using the controller for speed reference via the interface, set two
fields in drive 10:1800 - [VRef A Sel].
a. Set the Port field for the drive.
b. Set the Parameter field to point to the parameter containing the
reference value received from the parameter containing the reference
value that is received from the embedded EtherNet/IP adapter 0:211 -
[Emb Enet Ref].
Also, verify that the mask parameters in the drive, (for example,
0:41 - [Logic Mask]) are configured to receive the desired logic
command from the interface. See the drive documentation for details.
The interface is ready to receive input data and transfer control data
from the controller.
Next, configure the controller to recognize and transmit I/O to the interface.
See Chapter 3
Configuring the Drive in a Logix System on page 31.
Enable Datalinks to Read Data
The controller input image (drive-to-controller inputs) always contains the
logic status and feedback fields. It can also have 0...16 additional 32-bit
parameters (datalinks). They are configured using 0:340 - [DL To Net 01] … 355 -
[DL To Net 16]. The input connection size in the controller determines the
number of datalinks that are actively used. See the respective controller
example sections in Chapter 3
page 31 for more information on setting the connection size.
IMPORTANT
Always use the datalink parameters in consecutive numerical order. Start
with the first parameter. For example, use 0:340…344 to configure five
datalinks to read data. Otherwise, the network I/O connection size is larger
than necessary, which needlessly increases controller response time and
memory usage.
Configuring the Drive in a Logix System on
When using a ControlLogix controller, configure the datalink parameters now
as described in this section.
0:340 - [DL To Net 01] … 355 - [DL To Net 16] configure which parameters in the
drive, interface, or any other connected peripheral send the values to the
26 Rockwell Automation Publication 750COM-UM009B-EN-P - April 2021
Chapter 2 Configure the Adapter
network. Select the drive or peripheral by port number and the parameter by
name. Use the HIM, or another drive configuration tool such as Connected
Components Workbench software. As an alternate method, use this formula to
set the parameter value manually by number:
To Net Parameter Value = (10000 * Port Number) + (Origination Parameter Number)
For example, suppose that you want to use 0:340 - [DL To Net 01] to read
Parameter 2 of an optional I/O card plugged into drive Port 6. By using the
formula, the value for 0:340 - [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 that read data from the drive and are included in the
network I/O connection.
2. Reset the interface by cycling power or by using the HIM described in
Resetting the Adapter
on page 28.
The interface is configured to send output data to the controller. Configure the
controller to recognize and transmit I/O to the interface. See Chapter 3
Configuring the Drive in a Logix System on page 31
.
Setting a Fault Action By default, when the drive is controlled by the network or receives information
from the network; communication is disrupted. The drive responds by
faulting, if it is using I/O from the network. Possible causes include that the
network cable is disconnected, the controller is idle (in Program mode or
faulted), or an MSG instruction that is used for drive control is disrupted. You
can configure another response to these faults:
• Disrupted I/O communication by using 0:360 - [Comm Flt Action]
• An idle controller by using 0:361 - [Idle Flt Action]
• Disrupted Explicit Messaging for drive control via PCCC or the CIPbased network Assembly Object by using 0:363 - [Msg Flt Action]
ATTE NT IO N: Risk of injury or equipment damage exists. By default, these
parameters fault the drive:
• 0:360 - [Comm Flt Action]
• 0:361 - [Idle Action]
• 0:363 - [Msg Flt Action]
You can configure these parameters so that the drive continues to run. However,
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.
Changing the Fault Action
Set the values of 0:360 - [Comm Flt Action], 361 - [Idle Flt Action], and 363 [Msg Flt Action] to an action that meets your application requirements.
Table 3 - Fault Action Parameters
Value Action Description
0 Fault The drive is faulted and stopped (default).
1 Stop The drive is stopped, but not faulted.
Rockwell Automation Publication 750COM-UM009B-EN-P - April 2021 27
Chapter 2 Configure the Adapter
Table 3 - Fault Action Parameters (Continued)
Value Action Description
2 Zero Data The drive is sent ‘0’ values for data. This value does not command a stop.
3 Hold Last The drive continues in its present state.
The drive is sent the data that you set in the fault configuration parameters:
• 0:364 - [Flt Cfg Logic] - A 32-bit value that is sent to the drive for logic
command
4Send Flt Cfg
• 0:365 - [Flt Cfg Ref] - A 32-bit REAL (Floating Point) value that is sent to
the drive for reference
• 0:366 - [Flt Cfg DL 01] … 381 - [Flt Cfg DL 16]) - A 32-bit Integer value that
is sent to the drive for a datalink. If the destination of the datalink is a
REAL (Floating Point) parameter, you must convert the desired value
to the binary representation of the REAL value.
Changes to these parameters take effect immediately. A reset is not required.
If communication is disrupted and then re-established, the drive automatically
receives commands over the network again.
Resetting the Adapter Changes to rotary switch settings and some interface parameters require that
you reset the adapter before the new settings take effect. You can reset the
interface by cycling power or by using the Reset Device function of the HIM
located in the DIAGNOSTIC folder for the drive.
Restore Interface Parameters to Default Configurations
ATT EN TI ON : Risk of injury or equipment damage exists. If the adapter is transmitting
control I/O to the drive, the drive can be faulted when you reset the adapter. Determine
how your drive responds before resetting the adapter.
Interface parameters can be restored in two ways:
• ALL—restores ALL parameters on the port to their default configuration
values.
• MOST—restores MOST parameters on the port —except the following,
which are used for network setup Port 0:
• 0:300 - [Net Addr Sel]
• 0:302…305 - [IP Addr Cfg 1…4]
• 0:306…309 - [Subnet Cfg 1…4]
• 0:310…313 - [Gateway Cfg 1…4]
• 0:314 - [Net Rate Cfg 1]
• 0:316 - [Net Rate Cfg 2]
IMPORTANT
Because the built-in EtherNet/IP adapter is part of Port 0, restoring the
port defaults also resets other drive configuration settings that are
made in Port 0.
Using a 20-HIM-A6 or 20-HIM-C6S HIM
Follow these steps to restore interface parameters to their default
configuration values.
1. From the Status screen, scroll to Port 0, which is the drive
port contains the built-in EtherNet/IP interface.
2. Use the key to scroll to Port 0, which is the drive port contains
the built-in EtherNet/IP interface.

Viewing the Interface Status Using Parameters
IMPORTANT
When performing a Set Defaults, the drive can detect a conflict and then
not allow this function to occur. If a conflict happens, first resolve the
conflict and then repeat this Set Defaults procedure. Common reasons for
a conflict include a drive that is running or a controller in Run mode.
9. Reset the interface by cycling power or by using the HIM as described in
Resetting the Adapter
on page 28.
Using enhanced HIM
Reset parameters to their default configuration by navigating to the
Parameters tab (enhanced HIM) and click the Reset to Defaults button.

FactoryTalk® Linx connection and RSLinx Classic software, in all its variations
are used to provide a communication link between the computer, network,
and controller.
1. Configure an EtherNet/IP driver in RSLinx Classic software.
2. Keep running RSLinx software and verify that the computer connects
with the drive.
3. From the Communication menu, choose RSWho.
4. In the menu tree, click the ‘+’ next to the Ethernet driver and find your
drive.
Note: If the EtherNet/IP Driver cannot see your drive, as an alternative, use either the
Ethernet devices or the Remote Devices via Linx Gateway RSLinx driver.
Chapter 3 Configuring the Drive in a Logix System
5. If your drive is not recognized, upload the electronic data sheet (EDS) file
from the drive.
a. Right-click your drive.
b. Choose upload EDS file from device.
By uploading the EDS file, it also uploads the icon files for the device. The
question mark changes to a drive icon.
Obtain Add-on Profiles Each version of the Logix Designer application ships with the latest versions of
available AOPs. However, new drives (new AOPs), updates (software
enhancements and anomaly fixes), and device database files that are required
for new firmware releases can occur at any time. If you are missing any of the
following, you can obtain the AOP and database updates via free download at
the Product Compatibility and Download Center (PCDC), rok.auto/pcdc
• An AOP for a specific drive
• A specific feature, such as ADC
• A desired firmware revision in an existing AOP
The Logix Designer application drive Add-on Profiles provide these
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. All Tags are of the proper
data type so there is no need for manual conversion in the user program.
These profiles substantially reduce I/O mismatch errors and drive
configuration time.
• The drive tab removes the need for a separate drive-softwareconfiguration tool. All drive configuration can be done within the Logix
Designer application.
• Drive configuration settings are saved as part of the controller project
file (.ACD) and also downloaded to the controller.
• Automatic Device Configuration.

Configuration to Aid in Field-Failure Replacement
Historically, field-failure replacement has been a manually intensive process.
Downtime can be minimized by automating some of the steps in the
replacement process:
Step Manual Process Automatic Process
1 Remove failed drive.
2 Mount and wire replacement drive.
Manually set IP address setting on drive so
3
it appears on network.
Manually update drive with ControlFLASH
4
Plus if necessary.
Manually connect with Connected
Components Workbench software. Locate
5
correct saved configuration file and
download to the drive.
6 *Applies to manual process only.
BOOTP server in Ethernet switch automatically assigns the IP
address. Drive is DHCP enabled by default and accepts assigned
IP address.
Electronic Keying between Logix controller and drive must resolve
successfully. Configure Firmware Supervisor and use ‘Exact
Match’ for Electronic Keying to automatically update the drive or
peripheral device firmware if needed.
ADC in the Logix controller automatically downloads the
configuration when there is a configuration signature mismatch,
such as replacing a failed drive with a new one.
After the drive has been programmed, open the Device Definition
window in Logix Designer application and perform the upload.
Automatic IP address assignment in the Ethernet switch, Firmware
Supervisor, and ADC are mutually exclusive and can be used with or without
each other. If Firmware Supervisor and ADC are both enabled, Firmware
Supervisor executes first and must successfully complete before ADC executes.
Use Firmware Supervisor to Update Firmware
The Firmware Supervisor function provides firmware updates for the
peripherals that are 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 and peripherals’
properties dialog boxes.
a. View the drive keying by clicking the General tab.
b. Right-click each peripheral on the Drive tab.
c. View the keying of the peripheral by choosing Properties.
2. Verify that ControlFLASH Plus firmware kits for each revision of
firmware for each device that must be stored in the controller is installed
on the computer that runs the programming software.
3. Verify that a CompactFlash or other storage card is installed in the
controller.
4. Use the programming software to go online with the controller in
Program mode.
5. Download your program if you have not done so already.
6. In the tree view, right-click the controller folder at the top of the
Controller Organizer.

Rockwell Automation Publication 750COM-UM009B-EN-P - April 2021 43
Chapter 3 Configuring the Drive in a Logix System
Using Automatic Device Configuration (ADC)
Automatic Device Configuration (ADC) supports the automatic download of
drive configuration data. Drive configuration settings are stored inside the
ACD project file. With ADC enabled, the Logix controller automatically
downloads the configuration settings for a particular drive port if it detects
that there is a configuration signature mismatch with a port.
A configuration signature is a globally unique ID number. The Logix controller
uses the number to perform a quick compare to determine if a download is
needed. If the signatures match, no download is needed. If an option module
or entire drive is replaced, the configuration signature for the respective port
does not match and a download occurs to the port.
ATTENTION: Logix holds the Master copy of the drive configuration.
When ADC is enabled, ADC is 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 or Connected Components
Workbench software must 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. ADC
writes over any configuration changes made by the other tools. Consider using the
Write Mask function (drive 0:230 - [Write Mask Cfg]). The function stops tools
that are connected to ports other than the built-in EtherNet/IP port from writing to
the drive. Any drive configuration changes must be made by editing the Module
Properties in the Logix Designer application.
• The use of a MSG instruction to perform parameter writes in the Logix Designer
application program must be limited to RAM memory by setting the proper
Attribute in the MSG instruction. Any writes to parameter nonvolatile storage (NVS)
will clear the configuration signature and cause a mismatch the next time the
Logix controller connects to the device. This triggers ADC, which writes over any
configuration changes that were previously made.
ADC may execute the first time the Logix controller connects to the drive after
ADC has been enabled. The configuration signatures in the controller and
drive synchronize, and stops future ADC downloads from occurring unless a
configuration change is made or the drive / peripheral is replaced.
If a port has configuration parameters that require a reset to become active,
ADC will reset the drive after the respective port parameters are downloaded.
When ADC is enabled, it can be activated if the controller is in Run or Program
mode. Select ‘Inhibit Module’ when changes are made to the drive to limit ADC
from writing over your changes. ‘Inhibit Module’ is on the Connection tab in
the drive module profile.
ADC can work in tandem with the Firmware Supervisor. If the Firmware
Supervisor is configured and enabled for a drive (‘Exact Match’ keying must be
used), the drive/ peripheral firmware is automatically updated (if necessary)
before any ADC operation for that port.
Use select Stratix switches to provide the dynamic IP address assignment by port.
This removes the need to manually enter the IP address, subnet mask, and Gateway
address before connecting a replacement drive to the Ethernet network.

Only two Electronic Keying selections are recommended when using
ADC:
Electronic Keying
Selection
Exact Match
Compatible Module This is the recommended setting to use for ADC when Firmware Supervisor is not used.
Disable Keying
Recommendation
Use this selection only if:
• Your system design specification requires that a replacement drive/peripheral is
identical—down to the Minor revision of firmware (x.xxx).
• You are implementing Firmware Supervisor upgrade support and ADC. ControlFLASH
Plus firmware kits for the revision of firmware that is used for each drive/peripheral
must be installed on the computer that runs the programming software. Upgrade
files can be downloaded from: rok.auto/pcdc
When using ADC, this selection is not recommended. This selection allows a
replacement to have any different Device Type, Product Code, or Major (X
Minor (X.xxx) firmware revision. It is up to the user to provide a replacement that has a
firmware revision greater than or equal to the original. If a replacement with older
firmware is used, the ADC download can fail.
.
.xxx) and/or
It is also recommended that 0:230 [Write Mask] is set to write-protect all other
ports when ADC is used. When ADC is enabled, the Logix controller 'owns' the
configuration in the drive. Only make Configuration changes via the Logix
Designer application.
If a port is not write-protected, then a change that is made by another tool (for
example, a HIM at Port 1) clears the Configuration Signature for the respective
port. This causes ADC to trigger on the next network I/O connection and
overwrite the change with the configuration that was stored in the controller.
The HIM and other software tools, such as Connected Components
Workbench software, can continue to be used for purposes of monitoring.
ADC and Logix Memory
Drive configuration settings are stored in the project ACD file that is
downloaded and stored in the controller. Configuration settings for ADCcapable devices contain additional port and script information.
A typical PowerFlex drive consumes less than 25 kilobytes of Logix memory per
drive. Most Logix controllers have megabytes of memory available, so memory
typically is not an issue. You can monitor Logix memory usage in Logix
Designer application via the Controller Properties window.
Power Peripheral Changes When Using ADC with PowerFlex 755T Drives
The PowerFlex 755T drives and bus supplies check the power peripherals
(power modules, LCL filters, precharge modules, and Torque Accuracy
Modules) every time it powers up. During power-up, the system checks to see if
the peripherals are the same and in the same order. If the power peripherals
are replaced, or the order of the power peripherals changes, then the
PowerFlex 755T detects the change. Changes to the following items trigger the
need for acknowledgment:
• Power peripheral added
• Power peripheral removed
Rockwell Automation Publication 750COM-UM009B-EN-P - April 2021 47
Chapter 3 Configuring the Drive in a Logix System
•Power changed
• Backplane option peripheral removed
• Backplane option peripheral changed
ADC cannot operate until a user acknowledges the change, and the following
features are unavailable until the change is accepted:
• The Line Side Converter cannot be modulated.
• The Motor Side Inverter cannot be modulated.
• A command to reset cannot be accepted.
• A parameter download cannot be accepted.
The PowerFlex 755T indicates a configuration change in 0:90 [Cfg Status]. The
configuration change must be manually accepted by entering a value of
'Accept' (1) in 0:91 [Cfg Acknowledge].
IMPORTANT
After a power peripheral change is detected, the PowerFlex 755T does not
accept downloads from the controller until the configuration change is
accepted in 0:91 [Cfg Acknowledge].
Follow the procedure to use ADC when servicing power peripherals:
1. Remove power from the system and de-energize the cabinet.
2. Disconnect the Ethernet cable.
3. Update the hardware configuration as needed, this includes replacing
and reordering power peripherals and making the needed fiber-optic
connections.
4. Verify the updated hardware configuration for correctness and verify
that the power peripherals are properly secured and installed.
5. Verify that the fiber-optic connections to the power peripherals are
correct.
6. Apply power.
7. Accept the configuration change by entering the value ‘Accept (1)’ as the
input for 0:91 [Cfg Acknowledge].
8. Remove power from the system and de-energize the cabinet. This could
be needed to gain safe access to the Ethernet port.
9. Connect the Ethernet cable.
10. Apply power.
11. If a 24V auxiliary power is used, power must be cycled on the drive for a
second time.
If the Ethernet cable is connected before the acknowledgment, ADC attempts
to download repeatedly, and fails repeatedly, until the acknowledgment is
accepted.

Chapter 3 Configuring the Drive in a Logix System
Special Considerations For 20-750-S1 Safe Speed Module (S1)
There are special considerations when using ADC with the 20-750-S1 safe
speed module. The discrete wired or hardwired advanced safety cards require
manual user intervention before the drive can become operational. ADC can
still be used, even though some manual steps are required.
IMPORTANT
Firmware Supervisor cannot be used to update the 20-750-S1 module
firmware, due to unique upgrade components within its safety core. The
firmware can be manually upgraded using ControlFLASH Plus, a 1203-USB
Serial Converter, and the appropriate upgrade file.
Along with the configuration of the Safe Speed Monitor (SSM), the password
for the module is stored in the configuration script in the controller. The
password is used as part of the connection process to allow the configuration
that is stored in the controller to be downloaded to the module. This password
must be entered into the profile for the 20-750-S1 module (S1) in the Module
Properties dialog box of the drive, in RSLogix 5000/Logix Designer
application. This password value is entered in Parameter 13 of the 20-750-S1
module (S1) on controller download to the module. Record the parameter value
for future use when interacting with the module. Enter the password into
Parameter 1 for the 20-750-S1 module (S1) to allow either locking via
Parameter 5 or by changing the password via Parameter 13 and 17.
IMPORTANT Before you save the configuration to the controller, do not set the SSM
parameters in the Add-on Profile configuration:
• Parameter 5 [Lock State] to ‘1’ (Lock)
• Parameter 6 [Operating Mode] to ‘1’ (Run)
By setting these parameters, you lock the Module, stop writing the higher
numbered parameters, and cause the ADC download to fail. These two
parameters must be changed manually after performing an upload or after
the ADC download.
The following manual steps take an existing configured SSM out of Run mode
to allow the controller to download the configuration to the new SSM. For
example, during replacement of the drive and reuse of the existing module.
IMPORTANT Perform these manual steps when the Ethernet cable is disconnected from
the drive.The controller, while attempting to configure the S1 Module locks
out writes from other sources, such as the HIM.
1. Inhibit the drive connection—or disconnect the communication card
through which the controller is trying to configure the 20-750-S1 module
by using ADC.
2. Set SSM Parameter 1 [Password] to the current password of the module.
3. Set the SSM Parameter 5 [Lock State] to ‘0’ (Unlock).
4. Set the SSM Parameter 6 [Operating Mode] to ‘0’ (Program).
5. If the SSM password is not ‘0’, change the password of the Module to ‘0’.
6. Set the SSM Parameter 1 [Password] to the current password of the
module.
7. Set the SSM Parameter 13 [New Password] to ‘0’.
8. Set the SSM Parameter 17 [Password Command] to ‘1’ (Change PW).
9. Uninhibit the connection or reconnect the cable.
Rockwell Automation Publication 750COM-UM009B-EN-P - April 2021 49
Chapter 3 Configuring the Drive in a Logix System
The controller can download the new configuration, including the new
password.
The following manual steps are required to put the Safe Speed Monitor (S1)
into Run mode, generate a configuration signature, and lock the
configuration. To replace the (S1) Module with a new, out-of-the-box unit.
1. Set the safe module (S1) Parameter 6 [Operating Mode] to ‘1’ (Run).
A configuration signature is generated.
2. Access the safe module (S1) Parameter 10 [Signature ID] and record the
configuration signature value that is stored in this parameter.
3. Enter the current password for the safe module (S1) into parameter 1
[Password].
4. Set the safe module (S1) 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, verify that the correct
configuration is locked in the Safe Speed Monitor (S1).

for safety-related requirement for
Special Considerations for Communications and Option Developers Kit Option Cards
ADC can be used with communications option cards or Options Developer Kit
(ODK) cards, but a power cycle is required after the ADC configuration
downloads. Communication option cards include the following: 20-750CNETC, 20-750-DNET, 20-750-ENETR, 20-750-PBUS, 20-750-PNET, and 20750-PNET2P. ODK cards include the 20-750sc-8u from Spectrum Controls.
Testing ADC
ADC can be tested by clearing the Configuration Signature in a drive port and
then either cycling power or by resetting the drive. Two methods are possible:
Method 1
1. Connect via the Ethernet by using a second configuration tool, such as
Connected Component Workbench software.
2. Change any unused parameters in the drive and/or peripheral ports.
Note the parameter value before and after your change. It is the initial
parameter write that causes the Configuration Signature to clear for a
particular port.
3. Reset the drive from the tool.
ADC triggers and executes.
4. Check the parameter that you changed to verify it has changed back to
the original setting.
50 Rockwell Automation Publication 750COM-UM009B-EN-P - April 2021
Chapter 3 Configuring the Drive in a Logix System
Method 2
1. If a HIM is present and the port it resides in Port 1 is not write protected,
use the HIM to change any unused parameter in drive / peripheral. It is
the initial parameter write that causes the Configuration Signature to
clear for a particular port.
2. Reset (similar to step 3).
ADC triggers and executes.
3. Check the parameter that you changed to verify it has changed back to
the original setting.
Monitoring ADC Progress
The time that it takes for the Firmware Supervisor, ADC, and connection
process to complete varies from seconds to several minutes depending on
several factors.
• Whether Firmware Supervisor is enabled and must upgrade the drive
and/or any peripherals before ADC occurs. Updating drives or
peripherals add significantly to the connection process time and is
similar to the time it takes to update manually using ControlFLASH Plus
software.
• The number of peripherals that are enabled for ADC.
• If a configuration signature, for the drive/peripheral, indicates that a
configuration download must be performed for the given port.
• If a 20-750-S1 option module, which requires a manual step in its
configuration process, is used.
• The number of drive resets required for ports with configuration
parameters require a reset to become active.
You can monitor drive status using the status indicators on the drive, see the
PowerFlex Drives with TotalFORCE Programming Manual,
publication 750-PM100
(or Drive Status Indicators on page 79) for information
about the status indicators, and PowerFlex 6000T Drives Programming
Manual, publication
6000-PM100.
If ADC is unsuccessful, the Logix Designer application can be used to get
additional information. When online, the drive at issue has a yellow triangle
next to it in the Logix Designer application project I/O Configuration
folder.
When online, the control status bar shows the connection status:

• Switch to ‘Compatible module’ keying.
• Add the missing peripheral.
• Open ADC Settings window in the corresponding drive
properties dialog box and uncheck the ‘Fail Drive
Connection on Peripheral Error’ box for the peripheral at
issue.
To avoid having to put the controller in Program mode to
download the updated project, perform this while online
with the drive/controller.
ADC is not fully automatic when used with a 20-750-S1 (S1)
module. Safety systems have a mandatory requirement for
manual steps in the configuration process. See Special
Considerations For 20-750-S1 Safe Speed Module (S1) on
page 49 for more information.
Out of range parameters have a red highlight in the Linear

Programmatically Monitoring Connection Status and the ADC Configuration Signature
The Ethernet connection status between the Logix controller and PowerFlex
drive can be monitored using a GSV instruction.
• Class: Module
• Instance: {name of drive in project}
• Attribute: Entry status (returns a value that indicates status)
See the Logix Designer application online help for more information on the
GSV Instruction, GSV/SSV Objects, and the Module Object.
The Configuration Signature for a given port in the PowerFlex drive can be
monitored using an MSG instruction. The following MSG instruction reads
the Configuration Signature from Port 0 in a PowerFlex drive.
52 Rockwell Automation Publication 750COM-UM009B-EN-P - April 2021
Chapter 3 Configuring the Drive in a Logix System
The MSG instruction Get Attribute Single uses the Device Peripheral Interface
(DPI™) Device Object (Class 92 Hex) to access Port 0 in drive (Instance 0). It
then reads the Configuration Signature (Attribute 26 Hex = 38 Dec). See DPI
Device Object on page 96 for additional information.
Figure 12
shows an example Logix program that monitors the Ethernet
connection status to the PowerFlex drive and checks for a Configuration
Signature in Port 0 in the drive. If the connection is running (4000 Hex = 16384
Dec), a timer is used to read the Configuration Signature periodically in Port 0
in the drive. If there is no Configuration Signature present, all read data are
zeros.
Figure 12 - Example of the Logix Program
Rockwell Automation Publication 750COM-UM009B-EN-P - April 2021 53
Chapter 3 Configuring the Drive in a Logix System
Additional MSG instructions would be required to read the Configuration
Signatures in the other ports.
Figure 12
is an example only and is optional. The GSV is good way to check
Ethernet connection status for program use and to display status on an HIM. A
Running connection to control the drive is required. If ADC (See Glossary on
page 127
) is enabled, the Running status confirms a successful ADC download.
The status information that is displayed is the same as when online with the
drive.
Reading the Configuration Signature is not typical, but could be used to detect
and annunciate that a configuration change was made. When a configuration
change is made, ADC triggers and downloads on the next I/O connection. A
drive may not power cycle or reset for a considerable time, it could be days or
months before an I/O connection is dropped and re-established to allow ADC
to occur. When ADC does occur, it overwrites any changes that were made
outside of the Logix Designer application project.
Automatic IP address assignment in the Ethernet switch, Firmware
Supervisor, and ADC are mutually exclusive and can be used with or without
each other. If Firmware Supervisor and ADC are both enabled, Firmware
Supervisor executes first and must successfully complete before ADC executes.
Best Practices
When using ADC in your control system, adhere to the following
recommendations:
• To configure a drive, use only the Logix Designer application. If another
tool is used to configure the drive, complete the drive configuration and
then upload the configuration to the drive and save your project. Use the
Logix Designer application for any future configuration changes. A HIM
or Connected Components Workbench software can still be used, but
only for monitoring.
• Enable ADC as the last step in the commissioning process, after all drive
configurations have been completed. By enabling ADC as the last step, it
inhibits ADC downloads from being triggered after any parameter
adjustments are made during the commissioning process.
• Upload the configuration from the drive before ADC is enabled. This
action makes sure that rating, peripherals, firmware revisions, and
parameter configuration settings in the ACD project match the settings
in the drive.
• Enable and test ADC with one drive or a small group of drives before
enabling it for the remaining drives in the control system. Apply any
lessons learned to the configuration settings of the other drives in the
project. Verify that ADC is successfully working before proceeding to
enable it on other drives.
• After testing ADC with an initial drive, enable ADC in small groups of
drives at a time (for example, five drives). Make sure all drives
successfully come up on the network and are operational before
proceeding to the next group.

About I/O Messaging On CIP-based networks, including EtherNet/IP, I/O connections are used to
transfer the data that controls the PowerFlex drive and sets its reference. I/O
connections can also be used to transfer data to and from datalinks in the
drives.
The interface includes the logic command, logic status, reference, feedback,
and memory allocation for the generic Ethernet module profile (all as 32-bit
words) in the I/O image of the controller. This basic I/O must be configured in
the controller project in the Logix Designer application. 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 datalink to the basic I/O Input Size and/or Output
Size.
Understanding the Logix 5000 Controller I/O Image
The terms input and output are defined from the point of view of the controller.
Therefore, output I/O is controller produced data that is used by the drive.
Input I/O is drive produced status data that is used as input by the controller.
The I/O image varies based on the following:
• How many of the 32-bit datalinks (DL From Net 01…16 and DL To Net
01…16) for the drive are used.
• ControlLogix/CompactLogix™ Controllers only - The drive profile
version that is used in the controller programming software.
The drive Add-on Profiles provide descriptive controller tags. The I/O image
(tag size and location) is automatically configured based on the drive being
used. A generic profile also exists and could be used.

Using Logic Command/ Status
The controller produces the logic command, a 32-bit word of control data, which
is used by the drive. The drive produces logic status, a 32-bit word of status data,
which is used by the controller.
When using a Logix controller with the drive Add-on Profile, the logic
command word is always DINT 0 in the output image. The logic status word is
always DINT 0 in the input image.
See Appendix D
, Logic Command/Status Words on page 121 to view details, for
bit definitions.
Using Reference/Feedback The controller produces the reference, a 32-bit REAL (floating point) word of
control data that is used by the drive. The drive produces feedback, a 32-bit
REAL (floating point) word of status data, which is used by the controller.
When using a ControlLogix controller with the drive Add-on Profile, the 32-bit
REAL reference word is always DINT 1 in the output image (see Table 6
32-bit REAL feedback word is always DINT 1 in the input image.
When using a drive Add-on Profile, the reference and feedback are
automatically properly formatted and displayed as a controller tag. When
using a generic profile, a COP (copy) instruction or user-defined data type
(UDDT) is required to write values to the reference and read values from the
feedback.
). The
The reference and feedback 32-bit REAL values represent drive velocity. The
scaling for the speed reference and feedback is dependent on drive 10:1891 -

Chapter 4 Using the I/O
[Velocity Units]. For example, if Parameter 1891 is set to hertz, a 32-bit REAL
reference value of ‘30.0’ would equal a reference of 30.0 Hz. If Parameter 1891 is
set to RPM, a 32-bit REAL reference value of ‘1020.5’ would equal a reference of
1020.5 RPM. The commanded maximum speed can never exceed the value of
drive 10:1392 - [Max Speed Fwd]. Table 7
shows example references and their
results for a drive that has its:
• 10:1891 - [Velocity Units] set to Hz.
•10:422 - [Maximum Freq] set to 130 Hz.
•10:1392 - [Max Speed Fwd] set to 60 Hz.
When 10:1891 - [Velocity Units] is set to RPM, the other parameters are also in
RPM.

Using Datalinks A datalink is a mechanism that is 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 drive datalinks:
• The target of a datalink can be any Host parameter, including host
parameters of a peripheral. For example, drive 10:1915 - [VRef Accel Time
1] can be the target of the built-in EtherNet/IP adapter and any or all
option modules that are installed in the drive.
•The settings of 0:321…336 - [DL From Net 01…16] and
0:340…355 - [DL To Net 01…16] determine the data that is passed through
the datalink mechanism of the drive.
• 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. Use datalinks to change the value of a
parameter frequently.
Datalinks for PowerFlex 755T peripherals are locked when the peripheral has
an I/O connection with a controller. For example, the built-in EtherNet/IP
adapter on drives only, and option modules such as an encoder or a
communication module. When a controller has an I/O connection to the drive,
the drive does not allow anything that could change the makeup of the I/O
connection in a running system. For example, a reset to defaults and

configuration download. 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 the Logix Designer application
• Putting the controller in Program mode
• Disconnecting the drive from the network
Example of Ladder Logic Program Information
The example ladder logic programs in this chapter are intended for and
operate the drives.
The following can be accomplished by using the example programs.
• Receive logic status information from the drive.
• Send a logic command to control the drive (for example, start, stop).
• Send a reference to the drive and receive feedback from the drive.
• Send/receive datalink data to/from the drive.
These examples use the logic command word and logic status word for the
drives. See Appendix D

IMPORTANT
The drive saves parameter values that are written through Scattered Write
messages into the drives nonvolatile storage (NVS). The NVS allows only a
limited number of write cycles before it cannot store data reliably. To avoid
reaching this limit, do not use the Scattered Write messages for continuous
changes to parameter values.
If a parameter value must be changed continuously, you can use the
datalinks that are associated with the Logix controller's I/O connection, or
you can use individual parameter write messages that store the values
that are written to random access memory (RAM) rather than nonvolatile
).

(4) When the Attribute value is set to ‘9’, the parameter value is written to nonvolatile storage (NVS) of the drive. The drive retains the
parameter value even after the drive power is cycled.
Important: When set to ‘9’, the NVS can quickly exceed its lifecycle and cause the drive to malfunction. By setting the Attribute
value to ‘A’ it writes the parameter value to temporary memory, which deletes the parameter value after the drive power is cycled.
When frequent write messages are required, we recommended using the ‘A’ setting.

creating the controller tag. To write to a 32-bit integer parameter, set the tag Data Type field to ‘DINT’. For a 16-bit parameter, set
the Data Type field to ‘INT’. Also, the Source Length field on the Message Configuration dialog box must correspond to the selected

The amount of data memory available to the network communication firmware for

Viewing and Clearing Events The interface has an event queue to record significant events that occur in the
operation of the interface. When such an event occurs, an entry consisting of
the numeric code of the event and a time stamp is put into the event queue.
You can view the event queue using Connected Components Workbench
software. The event queue cannot be viewed using the HIM.
The event queue can contain up to 100 entries, which are stored in nonvolatile
storage (NVS). Eventually the event queue becomes full, since its contents are
retained through power cycles and resets. At that point, a new entry replaces
the oldest entry. Only an event queue clear operation clears the event queue
contents.
Many events in the event queue occur under normal operation. If you
encounter unexpected communication problems, the events can help you or

Description
360 Comm Flt Action
Communication Fault Action
Sets the action that the communication interface and drive take when I/O communication
is disrupted. When communication is re-established, the drive automatically receives the
logic command, reference, and datalinks over the network again.
‘Fault’ (0) – The response is a major fault. The drive stops modulating, the motor coasts to
a stop, and a fault reset is required to resume operation.
‘Stop’ (1) – The response is to stop in the way set by the active stop mode.
‘Zero Data’ (2) – The response is to continue operating, but to put zeros in the logic
command, reference, and datalinks.
‘Hold Last’ (3) – The response is to continue operating, and to use the last values in the
logic command, reference, and datalinks.
‘Send Flt Cfg’ (4) – The response is to continue operating, but to use the logic command
that is specified in parameter 365 [Flt Cfg Logic] and the reference that is specified in
365 [Flt Cfg Ref]. The drive also uses the values in parameters 370 [Flt Cfg DL 01]… 385
[Flt Cfg DL 16] in the parameters consuming data from those datalinks
361 Idle Flt Action
Idle Fault Action
Sets the action that the communication interface and drive take when the controller
leaves the run mode (faulted or in program mode). When the controller returns to the Run
mode, the drive automatically receives the logic command, reference, and datalinks over
the network again.
‘Fault’ (0) – The response is a major fault. The drive stops modulating, the motor coasts to
a stop, and a fault reset is required to resume operation.
‘Stop’ (1) – The response is to stop in the way set by the active stop mode.
‘Zero Data’ (2) – The response is to continue operating, but to put zeros in the logic
command, reference, and datalinks.
‘Hold Last’ (3) – The response is to continue operating, and to use the last values in the
logic command, reference, and datalinks.
‘Send Flt Cfg’ (4) – The response is to continue operating, but to use the logic command
that is specified in parameter 364
365 [Flt Cfg Ref]. The drive also uses the values in parameters 370 [Flt Cfg DL 01]…385
