Monitoring Drive Data

Drive data is displayed as structures of multiple tags. The names and data
structures are based on the selected communication format. The
programming software automatically creates the necessary structures and
tags when you configure the drive module. Each tag name follows this
format:
ModuleName:Type.MemberName.SubMemberName.Bit
where:
This address variable: Is:
ModuleName Identifies the module name entered during the drive module
configuration
Type Type of data
I = input
O = output
MemberName Specific data from the drive; depends on the selected communication
format.
For tags associated with pre-defined data links, this name will be the
same as the corresponding parameter name in the drive.
SubMemberName Specific data related to a MemberName
Bit (optional) Specific bit of a DINT data value
Refer to Communication Formats on page 2-5
The DriveLogix controller offers different levels at which you can monitor
the drive module. You can:
• configure the drive module so that the controller faults if the drive loses
its connection to the controller.
• use the programming software to display fault data
• program logic to monitor fault data so you can take appropriate action
