Chapter 4
Using the I/O
This chapter provides information and examples that explain how to control,
configure, and monitor PowerFlex® 755T drives by using the configured I/O.
This chapter discusses how to use I/O after you have configured the interface
and controller.
To configure the interface and controller on the network for the required I/O
see Chapter 2
, Configure the interface, and Chapter 3, Configuring the drive
in a Logix System. The Glossary
defines the different options.
About I/O Messaging
On CIP-based networks, including EtherNet/IP and 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
PowerFlex 755T 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
