    Explicit Message. When enabled, each Datalink occupies one 16-bit word in a ControlLogix, CompactLogix, or MicroLogix controller. The following rules apply when using PowerFlex 525 drive Datalinks: • Datalinks can not be used with Multi-drive mode. • The target of a Datalink can be any appropriate Host parameter. For example, Host parameter P041 [Accel Time 1] can be the target of the DeviceNet adapter installed in the drive.

    Thus, use Datalinks when you need to change a value of a parameter frequently. Datalinks for PowerFlex 525 drive peripherals (embedded EtherNet/IP adapter and option modules such as a communication module) are locked when the peripheral has an I/O connection with a controller.

    Industry Automation Glossary Datalinks A Datalink is a type of pointer used by PowerFlex 525 drives to transfer data to and from the controller. Datalinks allow specified parameter value(s) to be accessed or changed without using explicit messages. When enabled, each 16-bit Datalink in a PowerFlex 525 drive consumes 4 bytes in the input image table and/ or 4 bytes in the output image table of the controller.
