Parameter Assignment/Addressing
This section provides the following information for communication configuration and
programming:
● Drive parameter ID and corresponding communication protocol address
● Parameter tables:
– Network configuration parameters
– Network 1 configuration parameters
– Network 2 configuration parameters
● Pick list variable tables:
– Data from Drive variables
– Data to Drive variables
9.3.1
Correspondence between Drive Parameter ID and Communication Protocol
Address
The following table provides drive parameter IDs and the corresponding ControlNet™ network
register. The following data is provided:
● Parameter ID
The drive parameter ID number to enter via the keypad or the ToolSuite.
● ControlNet™ Network Data
ControlNet™ uses a pre-defined byte count to communicate between the master and the
drive.
– The drive uses 136 bytes for input and output; 128 bytes are used to form the 64 16-bit
– The data received (128 bytes) is mapped to the 64 data to drive registers and the data
– You must configure the ControlNet™ master to communicate using 136 input data bytes
● Data From Drive
Data that the PLC will receive from the drive to determine how the drive is functioning.
Each register contains a 16-bit digital representation of the status of a particular aspect of
drive functionality.
Some registers are fixed to track certain drive functions; others are programmable to track
any of a number of drive status choices.
● Data To Drive
Data that the PLC will send to the drive to control it.
Each register contains a 16-bit digital representation of the PLC's command for a particular
aspect of drive functionality.
Some registers are fixed to control certain functions; others are programmable to control
any of a number of drive function choices.
224
registers (2 bytes per register) and 8 bytes are 'reserved' for future use.
sent to the PLC is defined using the 64 data from drive registers.
and 136 output data bytes.
