4.1 Setting i550 Network Parameters with Explicit Messaging
The parameters of the i550 drive can be programmed remotely from your Allen-Bradley controller
using Explicit Messaging. In RSLogix 5000, the MSG instruction is used for explicit messaging. Make
the following configuration to write a parameter value to the i550 drive using Ethernet/IP explicit
messaging:
Message Type = CIP Generic
Class = 6e (Hex)
Attribute = parameter's subindex number (or 1 if no subindex)
Service Code = 10 (Parameter Write)
Instance = the parameter's index number in the drive
Source Element = the variable in the PLC used as the source of the data for a write
For a write of a parameter value set the source length = the length of the drive parameter (in bytes).
Figure 28: Message Configuration
Next, the path will need to be set to route the message out the controller's Ethernet port to the IP
address of the drive. In the Communication tab of the window in Figure 28, browse for the i550 drive
and click OK.
For a list of index and subcode numbers for several key i550 parameters, including those necessary
for network control, see the Table 1 below.
