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.
TIP When using a ControlLogix controller and an RSLogix 5000 software, version
20 and Studio 5000 environment, version 21 or later, there is no need to
configure datalink parameters. They are assigned when configuring the
RSLogix 5000 drive Add-on Profile (see
page
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
network. Select the drive or peripheral by port number and the parameter by
name. Use the PowerFlex 20-HIM-A6 or 20-HIM-C6S 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-to-
controller datalinks that read data from the drive and are included in the
network I/O connection.
2. Reset the interface by cycling power to the drive or by using the Reset
Device function of the HIM located in the DIAGNOSTIC folder for
the drive.
The interface is configured to send output data to the controller. Configure the
controller to recognize and transmit I/O to the interface. See
