– Controllers in Program mode (Idle Flt Action)
– Explicit Messaging disruptions for drive control via PCCC or the
CIP based network Assembly Object (Msg Flt Action)
• Automatic Device Configuration (ADC), an RSLogix 5000 software,
and Studio 5000 environment feature, which support the automatic
downloads of configuration data.
Dual Ethernet Ports
Dual Ethernet ports provide connection for star, linear, or Device Level Ring
(DLR) network topologies.
Examples of different EtherNet/IP network topologies are shown in Figure 1
,
Figure 2
, and Figure 3. For information about linear and Device Level Ring
(DLR) topologies, see EtherNet/IP built-in Switch Technology, publication
ENET-AP005
.
Figure 1 - Connecting the Ethernet Cable in a Star Topology Network
IMPORTANT The adapter has EtherNet/IP built-in switch technology, and ENET1 and
ENET2 network ports to connect to a linear or Device Level Ring (DLR)
network in a subnet.
You cannot use the ENET1 and ENET 2 network ports as two network
interfaces that are connected to two different Internet Protocol (IP) subnets.

Getting Started Chapter 1
User-supplied Equipment
To configure the built-in EtherNet/IP interface, you must supply the
following:
• A small flat-blade screwdriver for setting the network address switches.
• An Ethernet cable (for details, see the EtherNet/IP Media Planning and
Installation Manual, ODVA publication 148, available on the ODVA
website at http://odva.org/Home/ODVATECHNOLOGIES/
EtherNetIP/EtherNetIPLibrary/tabid/76/Default.aspx). Note: A user
name and password are required to access the ODVA publications.
• An Ethernet switch (for details, see the Ethernet Design Considerations
Reference Manual, publication ENET-RM002
).
Configuration Tool Options
Any of the following configuration tools can be used:
• PowerFlex 20-HIM-A6 or 20-HIM-C6S HIM
• Connected Components Workbench (CCW) software release 10 or
later
• Connected Components Workbench is the recommended standalone
software tool for use with PowerFlex drives. You can obtain a free copy
by internet download at the Product Compatibility and Download
Center, which is located at http://
compatibility.rockwellautomation.com/Pages/home.aspx.
• Controller configuration software, such as RSLogix 5000 software,
version 20, or Studio 5000 Logix Designer® application, version 21 and
later.
• Automatic Device Configuration (ADC), an RSLogix 5000 and
Studio5000 software feature that supports the automatic download of
configuration data. The download occurs as the Logix controller
establishes an EtherNet/IP network connection to a PowerFlex 755TR,
755TL, or 755TM drive and its associated peripherals. The AOP must
be installed for ADC to be functional with Studio 5000 or RSLogix in
versions newer than version 30. After version 30, the AOP comes
preinstalled in Studio 5000.
• A computer connection to the EtherNet/IP network.
22 Rockwell Automation Publication 750COM-UM009A-EN-P - May 2017
Chapter 1 Getting Started
Choose an Ethernet Switch
If the built-in EtherNet/IP interface is used to communicate with a
controller that has multicast connections, a managed switch that
supports IGMP snooping is suggested. EtherNet/IP implicit (I/O)
messaging can be configured to use IP multicast to distribute I/O
control data, which is consistent with the CIP-based network Producer/
Consumer model. If multiple built-in EtherNet/IP interfaces are
connected to the switch in a redundant configuration, a managed switch
is required. A managed switch also provides useful diagnostic features
such as port mirroring.
The built-in EtherNet/IP interface, RSLogix 5000 software version 20,
Studio 5000 Logix Designer application version 21 and later, and a
Logix controller all support unicast connections. Unicast is the default
setting when adding the drive to the I/O controller. When all built-in
EtherNet/IP interfaces are installed as unicast devices, then an IGMP
snooping (managed) switch is not needed.
The choice of a switch involves many factors. See publication ENET-
RM002 for details.

• Risk of injury or equipment damage exists. Only personnel familiar with
drive and power products and the associated machinery can plan or
implement the installation, start up, configuration. Only qualified personnel
can perform subsequent maintenance of the drive by using this built-in
interface. Failure to comply can result in injury and/or equipment damage.
• Risk of equipment damage exists. The built-in interface contains
electrostatic discharge (ESD) sensitive parts that can be damaged if you do
not follow ESD control procedures. ESD control precautions are required
when handling the interface. If you are unfamiliar with ESD control
procedures, see Guarding Against Electrostatic Damage, publication
8000-4.5.2
.
• Risk of injury or equipment damage exists. If the interface is transmitting
control I/O to the drive, the drive can fault when you reset the interface.
Determine how your drive responds before resetting the interface.
• Risk of injury or equipment damage exists. Built-in adapter 0:360 - [Comm
Flt Action], 0:361 - [Idle Flt Action], and 0:363 - [Msg Flt Action] let
you determine the action of the interface and drive when one of the
following occurs:
- I/O communication is disrupted
- The controller is in Program Mode
- Explicit Messaging for drive control is disrupted
By default, these parameters fault the drive. You can configure these
parameters so that the drive continues to run; however, verify that the
settings of these parameters do not create a risk of injury or equipment
damage. When commissioning the drive, verify that your system responds
correctly to various situations (for example, a disconnected cable or a
controller in Program Mode).
• Risk of injury or equipment damage exists. When a system is configured for
the first time, there can be unintended or incorrect machine motion.
Disconnect the motor from the machine or process during initial system
testing.
• Risk of injury or equipment damage exists. The examples in this publication
are intended solely for purposes of example. There are many variables and
requirements with any application. Rockwell Automation® does not assume
responsibility or liability (to include intellectual property liability) for actual
use of the examples that are shown in this publication.

Chapter 2 Configure the Interface
Configuration Tools
The built-in EtherNet/IP interface stores parameters and other information in
nonvolatile storage (NVS). The following tools can be used to access the
interface parameters.
Setting the IP Address
Figure 4 - Setting the IP Address Switches
There are four ways to configure the built-in EtherNet/IP interface IP address:
• Interface Rotary Switches — Use the switches when working on a
simple, isolated network (with IP addresses in the range, 192.168.1.xxx),
and you prefer a simplified node addressing method that has other
products with switches to set their IP addresses.
The three interface switches are grouped near the middle of the drive.
These switches are read when the drive powers up, and represent three
decimal digits from top to bottom. If set to a valid address (001…254),
the interface uses that value as the last octet of its IP address
(192.168.1.xxx, where xxx = the rotary switch settings), along with a
subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 and a gateway address of 192.168.1.1.
Also, the setting for interface 0:300 - [Net Addr Sel] is automatically
ignored.

Configure the Interface Chapter 2
See Figure on page 28 and its accompanying table for switch settings
and their related descriptions.
• Interface Parameters — Use interface parameters for more flexibility
when configuring the IP address. To use parameters as the source for the
IP address, set the rotary switches to 999. Set 0:300 - [Net Addr Sel] to
‘1’ (Parameters). The IP address, subnet mask, and gateway address
come from the values set using the associated interface 0:302...313.
• BOOTP — Use BOOTP when you want to configure an IP address,
subnet mask, and gateway address for the interface by using a BOOTP
server. To use BOOTP as the source for the IP address, set the rotary
switches to 999. Set 0:300 - [Net Addr Sel] to ‘2’ (BOOTP).
Record the interface hardware Ethernet (MAC) address from the
Ethernet address label on the main control board of the drive. This
address is used when configuring the BOOTP server (see Using a
BOOTP or DHCP Server on page 36 for details).
• DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) Use DHCP when
you want to configure an IP address, subnet mask, and gateway address
for the interface by using a DHCP server. To use DHCP as the source
for the IP address, set the rotary switches to 999.
Set 0:300 - [Net Addr Sel] to ‘3’ (DHCP).
Make note of the Ethernet (MAC) address for the hardware interface
that is shown on the Ethernet address label on the main control board of
the drive. The MAC is used when configuring the DHCP server. See
Using a BOOTP or DHCP Server on page 36
for details.
IMPORTANT When using the interface rotary switches, set the IP address before power is
applied because the interface uses the switch settings that it detects when it
first receives power.
TIP If the PowerFlex 755TM, 755TR, or 755TL drive is connected to a Stratix®
6000 or Stratix 8000 managed Ethernet switch and the drive is set for BOOTP
or DHCP mode, the ‘dynamic IP address assignment by port’ (Stratix 6000)
or ‘DHCP persistence’ (Stratix 8000) feature can be used to set the IP address
for the drive. For more details, see the Stratix 6000 Ethernet Managed
Switch User Manual, publication 1783-UM001
, or the Stratix 8000 and
Stratix 8300 Ethernet Managed Switches User Manual, publication 1783-
UM003.
IMPORTANT When the DHCP lease expires, the adapter stops communicating on the
network. A power cycle or option module reset is required.
28 Rockwell Automation Publication 750COM-UM009A-EN-P - May 2017
Chapter 2 Configure the Interface
The switch settings can be verified by viewing Port 0 Diagnostic Item number
68 (page 113
) with any of the following drive configuration tools:
• PowerFlex 20-HIM-A6 or 20-HIM-C6S HIM
• Connected Components Workbench software, release 10 or later
Also, you can use 0:301 - [Net Addr Src], a read-only parameter, to verify the
active setting for 0:300 - [Net Addr Sel].
IMPORTANT Regardless of the method that is used to set the interface IP address, each
node on the EtherNet/IP network must have a unique IP address. To change
an IP address, you must set the new value and then remove and reapply
power to (or reset) the interface.
Settings Description
001…254 The interface uses the rotary switch settings for the IP address (192.168.1.xxx, where xxx = the
rotary switch settings). The value that is stored in 0: 300 - [Net Addr Sel] is automatically
ignored.
888 Resets the interface IP address and other EtherNet/IP communication settings to factory
defaults. Thereafter, the drive must be powered down, the switches set to a correct value
(001…254 or 999), and then the drive must be powered up again to accept the new address.
999 Disables the rotary switches, and requires using one of the following:
• 0:300 - [Net Addr Sel] selects the source for the interface IP address, which is one of the
following:
– Interface Parameters
–BOOTP server (default)
– DHCP server firmware
Any other
setting

Configure the Interface Chapter 2
Configuring and Verifying Key Drive Parameters
The PowerFlex 755T drive can be separately configured for the command logic
and reference functions in various combinations. For example, you could set
the drive to have the logic command come from a peripheral or terminal block
but have the reference come from the network. Or you could set the drive to
have its control come from the network with the reference that comes from
another peripheral or terminal block. Or you could set the drive to have both
its logic command and reference come from the network.
The following steps in this section assume that the drive receives the logic
command and reference from the network.
1. To access the required parameters in this procedure, verify that drive
parameter 0:30 - [Access Level] is set to ‘1’ (Advanced) or ‘2’ (Expert).
2. To set the drive velocity reference, use drive 10:1800 - [VRef A Sel].
a. Set the Port field to ‘10 - Pri MtrSideCtrl’ as shown.
b. Set the Parameter field to point to Port 0, which contains the
EtherNet/IP interface.
c. Then choose Parameter 211 [Emb Enet Ref ].
3. Verify that drive 10:350 - [VRef Source] matches your entry to
10:1800 [VRef A Sel].
Any velocity reference that is commanded from the network can be
monitored by using 0:1914 - [VRef Command]. If a problem occurs,
this verification step provides the diagnostic capability to determine
whether the drive, interface, or the network is the cause.
4. If hard-wired discrete digital inputs are not used to control the drive,
verify that all unused digital input drive parameters are set to ‘0’ (Not
Used). These parameters are located in Port 0, in the file Feedback & I/
O, group Command.
Use Interface Parameters to
Set the IP Address
By default, the interface is configured to use a DHCP server as the source for
the IP address interface, subnet mask, and gateway address. To use interface
parameters instead, you must first change the source for the node address to
Parameters by using 0:300 - [Net Addr Sel]. Set the associated interface
parameters as described in the following subsections.

Setting the Data Rate
By default, the interface is set to autodetect, so it automatically detects the data
rate and duplex setting that is used on the network. If you must set a specific
data rate and duplex setting, use the 0:314 - [Net Rate Cfg 1] and 0:316 -
[Net Rate Cfg 2] values. These values determine the Ethernet data rate and
duplex settings that the interface uses to communicate. For definitions of data
rate and duplex, see the Glossary
.
1. Verify that the Ethernet cable is connected to Ethernet port 1 or port 2
to change the data rate or duplex setting. Port 1 is the connector closest
to the front edge of the control board.
2. Set the value of 0:314 - [Net Rate Cfg 1] or 0:316 - [Net Rate Cfg 2]
to the data rate at which your network is operating.
3. 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.
TIP To enable BOOTP or DHCP for an interface that has had BOOTP/DHCP
disabled, first select the interface in the Relation List. Then, depending on
the type of server, click Enable BOOTP or Enable DHCP and, lastly, reset
the interface or power cycle the drive.
TIP Auto detection of the data rate and duplex works only if the device (usually

Hierarchy
A hierarchy determines the type of device with which the interface exchanges
data. In a Controller hierarchy, the interface exchanges data with the
ControlLogix® controller or another communication bridge.
When a multicast I/O connection is used or when the interface does not have a
valid gateway address, the controller must be on the same IP subnet as the
interface to establish an I/O connection. See IP addresses in the Glossary
for
information about IP subnets.
Setting a Controller Hierarchy
To set the Controller hierarchy, follow the instructions in this section to enable
datalinks to read and write data.
Enable Datalinks to Write Data
The controller output image (controller outputs-to-drive) always contains the
logic command and reference fields. It can also have 0...16 additional 32-bit
parameters (datalinks). They are configured using 0:321 - [DL From Net 01]
… 336 - [DL From Net 16]. The output connection size in the controller
determines the number of datalinks that are actively used. See the respective
controller example sections in Chapter 3
for more information on setting the
connection size.
When using a ControlLogix controller, configure the datalink parameters now
as described in this section.
0:321 - [DL From Net 01] …336 - [DL From Net 16] control which
parameters receive the values from the network. These parameters apply to the
drive, option module, or any other connected peripheral. You can use the
PowerFlex 20-HIM-A6 or 20-HIM-C6S HIM, or another drive configuration
tool, such as Connected Components Workbench software, to select the drive
or peripheral by port number and the parameter by name. As an alternate
method, set the parameter value manually by number by using this formula:
From Net Parameter Value = (10000 * Port Number) + (Destination Parameter Number)
IMPORTANT Always use the datalink parameters in consecutive numerical order. Start
with the first parameter. For example, use 0:321… 323 to configure three
datalinks to write data. Otherwise, the network I/O connection size is larger
than necessary, which needlessly increases controller response time and
memory usage.
TIP When using the ControlLogix controller and 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 Configure Input and Output Data on
page 59).
42 Rockwell Automation Publication 750COM-UM009A-EN-P - May 2017
Chapter 2 Configure the Interface
For example, if you want to use 0:321 - [DL From Net 01] to write to
Parameter 3 of an optional encoder card plugged into drive Port 5. By using
the formula, the value for 0:321- [DL From Net 01] would be (10000 * 5) +
(3) = 50003.
Follow these steps to enable datalinks to write data.
1. Set the values of only the required number of contiguous controller-to-
drive datalinks that write data to the drive and are included in the
network I/O connection.
2. Reset the drive by cycling power to the drive or by using the Reset
Device function of the HIM located in the DIAGNOSTIC folder for
the drive.
3. Since the logic command and reference are always used in the interface,
configure the parameters in the drive to accept the logic command and
reference from the interface.
When using the controller for speed reference via the interface, set two
fields in drive 10:1800 - [VRef A Sel].
a. Set the Port field for the drive (for example, 0 - PowerFlex 755T).
b. Set the Parameter field to point to the parameter containing the
reference value received from the parameter containing the reference
value that is received from the embedded EtherNet/IP interface
0:211 -[Emb Enet Ref ].
Also, verify that the mask parameters in the drive, (for example,
0:41 - [Logic Mask]) are configured to receive the desired logic
command from the interface. See the drive documentation for
details.
The interface is ready to receive input data and transfer control data
from the controller.
Next, configure the controller to recognize and transmit I/O to the interface.
See Chapter 3
, Configuring the drive in a Logix System.
Enable Datalinks to Read Data
The controller input image (drive-to-controller inputs) always contains the
logic status and feedback fields. It can also have 0...16 additional 32-bit
parameters (datalinks). They are configured using 0:340 - [DL To Net 01] …
355 - [DL To Net 16]. The input connection size in the controller determines
the number of datalinks that are actively used. See the respective controller
example sections in Chapter 3
for more information on setting the connection
size.
Rockwell Automation Publication 750COM-UM009A-EN-P - May 2017 43
Configure the Interface Chapter 2
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 Chapter 3
,
Configuring the drive in a Logix System.
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 Configure Input and Output Data on
page 59).

Chapter 2 Configure the Interface
Setting a Fault Action
By default, when the drive is controlled by the network or receives information
from the network; communication is disrupted. The drive responds by
faulting, if it is using I/O from the network. Possible causes include that the
network cable is disconnected, the controller is idle (in Program mode or
faulted), or Explicit Messaging for drive control is disrupted. You can configure
another response to these faults:
• Disrupted I/O communication by using 0:360 - [Comm Flt Action]
•An idle controller by using 0:361 - [Idle Flt Action]
• Disrupted Explicit Messaging for drive control via PCCC or the CIP-
based network Assembly Object by using 0:363 - [Msg Flt Action]
Changing the Fault Action
Set the values of 0:360 - [Comm Flt Action], 361 - [Idle Flt Action], and
363 - [Msg Flt Action] to an action that meets your application requirements.
Figure 8 - Edit Fault Action HIM Screens
ATTENTION: Risk of injury or equipment damage exists. To determine the action
for the interface and the drive when I/O communication is disrupted, the
controller is idle, or Explicit Messaging for drive control is disrupted, use these:
• 0:360 - [Comm Flt Action]
• 0:361 - [Idle Action]
• 0:363 - [Msg Flt Action]
By default, these parameters fault the drive. You can configure these parameters so
that the drive continues to run. However, verify that the settings of these parameters
do not create a risk of injury or equipment damage. When commissioning the drive,
verify that your system responds correctly to various situations (for example, a
disconnected network cable, controller in idle state, or Explicit Message control
disruption).
Value Action Description
0 Fault The drive is faulted and stopped (default).
1 Stop The drive is stopped, but not faulted.
2 Zero Data The drive is sent ‘0’ values for data. This value does not command a stop.
3 Hold Last The drive continues in its present state.
4 Send Flt Cfg The drive is sent the data that you set in the fault configuration parameters:
• 0:364 - [Flt Cfg Logic]
• 0:365 - [Flt Cfg Ref]
• 0:366 - [Flt Cfg DL 01] … 381 - [Flt Cfg DL 16]).

Changes to these parameters take effect immediately. A reset is not required.
If communication is disrupted and then re-established, the drive automatically
receives commands over the network again.
Setting the Fault Configuration Parameters
When, these Port 0:Parameters are set to ‘Send Flt Cfg’:
• 0:360 - [Comm Flt Action]
• 0:361 - [Idle Flt Action]
• 0:363 - [Msg Flt Action]
The values in Tab le 2
are sent to the drive after a communication fault, idle
fault, and/or Explicit Messaging for drive control fault occurs. Set these
parameters to values required by your application.
Table 2 - Fault Configuration Parameter Values
Changes to these parameters take effect immediately. A reset is not required.
Resetting the Interface
Changes to rotary switch settings and some interface parameters require that
you reset the interface before the new settings take effect. You can 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.
Restore Interface
Parameters to Default
Configurations
Interface parameters can be restored in two ways:
• ALL—restores ALL parameters on the port to their default
configuration values.
• MOST—restores MOST parameters on the port —except the
following, which are used for network setup Port 0:
• 0:300 - [Net Addr Sel]
• 0:302…305 - [IP Addr Cfg 1…4]
• 0:306…309 - [Subnet Cfg 1…4]
• 0:310…313 - [Gateway Cfg 1…4]
• 0:314 - [Net Rate Cfg 1]
• 0:316 - [Net Rate Cfg 2]
Interface Parameter Description
0:364 - [Flt Cfg Logic] A 32-bit value sent to the drive for logic command.
0:365 - [Flt Cfg Ref] A 32-bit REAL (Floating Point) value that is sent to the drive for reference.
0:366 - [Flt Cfg DL 01]
…
0:381 - [Flt Cfg DL 16]
A 32-bit Integer value sent to the drive for a datalink. If the destination of
the datalink is a REAL (Floating Point) parameter, you must convert the
desired value to the binary representation of the REAL value. An internet
search of hex to float provides a link to a tool to perform this conversion.
46 Rockwell Automation Publication 750COM-UM009A-EN-P - May 2017
Chapter 2 Configure the Interface
Because the built-in EtherNet/IP interface is part of Port 0, restoring the port
defaults also resets other drive configuration settings that are made in Port 0.
Follow these steps to restore interface parameters to their default configuration
values.
1. Access the Status screen, which is displayed on HIM power-up.
2. Use the or key to scroll to Port 0, which is the drive port
contains the built-in EtherNet/IP interface.
3. display the last-viewed folder, select the key.
4. To scroll to the MEMORY folder, use the or key.
5. To select Set Defaults, use the or key.
6. Press the (Enter) key.
The Set Defaults popup box appears.
7. Press the (Enter) key again.
The warning popup box appears.
8. Reset parameters to their default configuration values by selecting the
appropriate option:
• To restore MOST parameters to default configurations, press the
MOST soft key.
• To restore ALL parameters, press the ALL soft key.
• To cancel, press the ESC soft key.
9. 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.
IMPORTANT When performing a Set Defaults, the drive can detect a conflict and then not
allow this function to occur. If a conflict happens, first resolve the conflict
and then repeat this Set Defaults procedure. Common reasons for a conflict
include a drive that is running or a controller in Run mode.

Configuring the Drive in a Logix System Chapter 3
Obtain Add-on Profiles
When a new drive is used, or to benefit from new updates for Add-on Profiles
(AOP), you need the newest Add-on Profile update. Drive Add-on Profiles can
be updated anytime, and contain the latest database files available at the time of
release.
Go to http://compatibility.rockwellautomation.com/Pages/home.aspx
to
download the latest drive Add-on Profile for the PowerFlex 755T drive. The
Logix Designer application drive Add-on Profiles provide these advantages:
• Profiles for specific drives that provide descriptive controller tags for
basic control I/O words (logic command/status and reference/
feedback) and datalinks. Additionally, datalinks automatically take
the name of the drive parameter to which they are assigned. All Tags
are of the proper data type so there is no need for manual conversion
in the user program. These profiles substantially reduce I/O
mismatch errors and drive configuration time.
• The drive tab removes the need for a separate drive-software-
configuration tool. All drive configuration can be done within the
AOP.
• Drive configuration settings are saved as part of the controller project
file (.ACD) and also downloaded to the controller.
• Automatic Device Configuration (drive Add-on Profiles version
1.xxx or later, controller software version 20 or later).

2. Start in the first editable field in the Parameter column on the Input tab.
Use the pull-down menu and open the parameter window to select the
desired parameter for datalink.
3. Repeat for any additional datalinks.
IMPORTANT Always use the datalink parameters in consecutive numerical order by
starting with the first parameter. Otherwise, the network I/O connection is
larger than necessary, which needlessly increases response time and
memory usage.

4. Repeat for the Output tab and select the desired parameters to datalink.
5. In the Requested Packet Interval (RPI) box, set the RPI to the desired
value (default is 20.0 milliseconds).
This value determines the interval that a controller uses to move data to
and from the drive. To conserve bandwidth, use higher values for
communicating with low priority devices.
The ‘Inhibit Module’ box, when checked, inhibits the controller from
communicating with the drive. When the ‘Major Fault On’ box is
checked, a major controller fault occurs when the connection to the
drive fails while the controller is in the Run mode.
Unicast reduces network traffic and is recommended whenever possible.
6. Click OK.

Updating the AOPs and
Database Files
Each version of the RSLogix 5000 / Studio 5000 application ships with the
latest versions of available AOPs. However, new drives (new AOPs), updates
(software enhancements and anomaly fixes), and device database files that are
required for new firmware releases can occur at any time. If you are missing any
of the following, you can obtain the AOP and database updates via free
download at the Product Compatibility and Download Center (PCDC):
• An AOP for a specific drive
• A specific feature, such as ADC
• A desired firmware revision in an existing AOP
http://compatibility.rockwellautomation.com/Pages/home.aspx
IMPORTANT The I/O OK box in the upper left of the Logix Designer application dialog box
must be steady green. There must not be a yellow warning symbol in the
tree view under the I/O Configuration folder next to the drive.

Configuration to Aid in Field-
Failure Replacement
Historically, field-failure replacement has been a manually intensive process.
Downtime can be minimized by automating some of the steps in the
replacement process:
Step Manual Process Automatic Process
1 Remove failed drive.
2 Mount and wire replacement drive.
3 Manually set IP address setting on drive
so it appears on network.
BOOTP server in Ethernet switch automatically assigns the IP
address. Drive is DHCP enabled by default and accepts
assigned IP address.
68 Rockwell Automation Publication 750COM-UM009A-EN-P - May 2017
Chapter 3 Configuring the Drive in a Logix System
Automatic IP address assignment in the Ethernet switch, Firmware Supervisor,
and ADC are mutually exclusive and can be used with or without each other. If
Firmware Supervisor and ADC are both enabled, Firmware Supervisor
executes first and must successfully complete before ADC executes.
Using an Ethernet Switch
with DHCP/BOOTP Server
To determine if a BOOTP server feature is supported, see the respective
Stratix® switch or third-party switch user manual (Note: Switches with DHCP
servers typically provide BOOTP server function too). The following Stratix®
switches also provide BOOTP server support:
Stratix 5700 (1783-EMS…)
The Stratix 5700 performs Dynamic IP address Assignment by
Port per the DHCP Address Assignment page.
4 Manually update drive with
ControlFLASH™ if necessary.
Electronic Keying between Logix controller and drive must
resolve successfully. Configure Firmware Supervisor and use
‘Exact Match’ for Electronic Keying to automatically update the
drive / peripheral firmware if needed.
5 Manually connect with CCW. Locate
correct saved configuration file and
download to the drive.
ADC in the Logix controller automatically downloads the
configuration when there is a configuration signature
mismatch, such as replacing a failed drive with a new one.
6 *Applies to manual process only. After the drive has been programmed, pull-up the Device
Definition window in RSLogix 5000 / Studio 5000 and do an
upload.
Step Manual Process Automatic Process
Rockwell Automation Publication 750COM-UM009A-EN-P - May 2017 69
Configuring the Drive in a Logix System Chapter 3
Stratix 6000 (1783-EMS…)
The Stratix 6000 performs ‘Dynamic IP address Assignment by Port’ per the
settings on the DHCP Configuration tab:
Stratix 8000 (1783-MS…) / 8300 (1783-RMS…)
The Stratix 8000/8300 sets the IP address per the ‘DHCP Persistence’ tab:
One IP address is configured for each port on the switch (star topology - one
drive per port). If you have a ring topology, the IP address for drive is set via
other means, such as the HIM or last octet rotary switches on the drive/
communication. Firmware Supervisor and/or ADC can still be used and will
execute after the drive gets its IP address and ‘appears’ on the network to the
Logix controller.
Using Firmware Supervisor
The Logix Firmware Supervisor function has been extended to provide
firmware updates for the peripherals that are connected to the drive. You must
be online and in Program mode with the controller to load/store the Firmware
Supervisor settings. To configure the controller to check and refresh the correct
firmware for the drive and peripherals, perform the following steps:
70 Rockwell Automation Publication 750COM-UM009A-EN-P - May 2017

properties dialog boxes.
a. View the drive keying by clicking the General tab.
b. Right-click each peripheral on the Drive tab.
c. View the keying of the peripheral by choosing Properties.
2. Verify that ControlFLASH firmware kits for each revision of firmware
for each device that must be stored in the controller is installed on the
computer that runs the programming software.
3. Verify that a CompactFlash or other storage card is installed in the
controller.
4. Use the programming software to go online with the controller in
Program mode.
5. Download your program if you have not done so already.
6. In the tree view, right-click the controller folder at the top of the
Controller Organizer.
7. Choose Properties.
8. On the Controller Properties dialog box, click the Nonvolatile Memory
tab.

9. Click Load/Store.
The Nonvolatile Memory Load/Store dialog box appears.
10. From the Automatic Firmware Update pull-down menu, choose Enable
and Store Files to Image.
11. Click <-- Store.
Two confirmation dialog boxes open that relate to communication
disruptions and erasure of the current contents of the storage card.
12. If okay, click Yes on either dialog box.
The programming software goes to the Offline state, and this dialog
box appears.
13. Wait for the store operation to complete, and then attempt to go online
with the controller again.
Using Automatic Device
Configuration (ADC)
Automatic Device Configuration (ADC) is a Studio 5000 - Logix Designer
application feature that supports the automatic download of drive
configuration data. When the RSLogix 5000 software controller establishes an
I/O connection with a drive and its associated peripherals, it checks a
configuration signature for each port. This is to determine if an ADC
download is needed. The purpose is to reduce downtime in a field replacement
situation by automatically downloading the configuration rather than
manually with a separate tool.
ADC is available with the following software:
• Studio 5000 - Logix Designer, Version 21 or later
• RSLogix 5000, Version 20
• PowerFlex 755T AOPs, Version 1.xxx or later
72 Rockwell Automation Publication 750COM-UM009A-EN-P - May 2017
Chapter 3 Configuring the Drive in a Logix System
The latest drive AOPs ship with each release of Logix Designer and are also
available for free download at:
http://compatibility.rockwellautomation.com/Pages/home.aspx
ADC works with all versions of the PowerFlex 755T drives when the
Logix I/O connection is made through the embedded Ethernet port.
Firmware updates are available for free download at:
http://compatibility.rockwellautomation.com/Pages/home.aspx
If you do not have the minimum levels of software and hardware, the ADC
feature is not available (ADC icon is missing or appears dimmed).
Drive configuration settings are stored inside the ACD project file. With
ADC enabled, the Logix controller automatically downloads the configuration
settings for a particular drive port if it detects that there is a configuration
signature mismatch with a port.
A configuration signature is a globally unique ID number. The Logix
controller uses the number to perform a quick compare to determine if a
download is needed. If the signatures match, no download is needed. If an
option module or entire drive is replaced, the configuration signature for the
respective port does not match and a download occurs to the port.
TIP To identify the drive AOP version you are using, open the AOP, click the icon
in the upper left corner of the window and select “About Module Profile”.
ATTENTION: Logix holds the Master copy of the drive configuration.
When ADC is enabled, ADC is triggered any time the Logix controller detects
a configuration signature mismatch when establishing an EtherNet/IP
network I/O connection.
• The use of other configuration tools, such as a HIM or CCW software must be
minimized and restricted to monitor-only operation. Any configuration
changes made by these tools will cause a configuration signature mismatch
the next time the Logix controller connects to the device. ADC writes over
any configuration changes made by the other tools. Consider using the Write
Mask function (drive 0:230 - [Write Mask Cfg]). The function stops tools
that are connected to ports other than the built-in EtherNet/IP port in a
PowerFlex 755T drive from writing to the drive. Any drive configuration
changes must be made with the Add-on Profile (AOP).
• The use of Explicit Messaging to perform parameter writes in the Logix
program must be limited to RAM memory by setting the proper Attribute in
the MSG instruction. Any writes to parameter nonvolatile storage (NVS) will
clear the configuration signature and cause a mismatch the next time the
Logix controller connects to the device. This triggers ADC, which writes over
any configuration changes that were previously made.
Rockwell Automation Publication 750COM-UM009A-EN-P - May 2017 73
Configuring the Drive in a Logix System Chapter 3
Configure a PowerFlex 755T Drive for ADC
ADC is configured within the AOP Device Definition window of the
PowerFlex 755T drives.
1. Open the desired PowerFlex 755T drive in the Logix Designer I/O
Configuration folder and click the Device Definition button.
IMPORTANT ADC may execute the first time the Logix controller connects to the drive
after ADC has been enabled. The configuration signatures in the controller
and drive synchronize, and stops future ADC downloads from occurring
unless a configuration change is made or the drive / peripheral is replaced.
If a port has configuration parameters that require a reset to become active,
ADC will reset the drive after the respective port parameters are
downloaded.
IMPORTANT When ADC is enabled, it can be activated if the controller is in Run or
Program mode. Select ‘Inhibit Module’ when changes are made to the drive
to limit ADC from writing over your changes. ‘Inhibit Module’ is on the
Connection tab in the drive module profile.
IMPORTANT Use select Stratix switches to provide the dynamic IP address assignment by
port. This removes the need to manually enter the IP address, subnet mask,
and Gateway address before connecting a replacement drive to the Ethernet
network.
IMPORTANT ADC can work in tandem with the Firmware Supervisor. If the Firmware
Supervisor is configured and enabled for a drive (‘Exact Match’ keying must
be used), the drive/ peripheral firmware is automatically updated (if
necessary) before any ADC operation for that port.
74 Rockwell Automation Publication 750COM-UM009A-EN-P - May 2017
Chapter 3 Configuring the Drive in a Logix System
2. Select Automatic Device Configuration in the navigation list. Check
the Enable Automatic Device Configuration box to enable ADC for the
drive. Default settings are automatically set for ADC.
3. ADC settings can also be adjusted at the port/peripheral level as desired
for your application. The Fail Drive Connection on Peripheral Error, if
selected, fails the network I/O connection with the Logix controller if
an error occurs with the respective port/peripheral. Make any needed
changes. If you make changes and want to revert to the default settings,
click the Reset to Default Settings button. Click OK when finished.

or Minor (X.xxx) firmware revision. It is up to the user to provide a replacement that
has a firmware revision greater than or equal to the original. If a replacement with
older firmware is used, the ADC download can fail.
76 Rockwell Automation Publication 750COM-UM009A-EN-P - May 2017
Chapter 3 Configuring the Drive in a Logix System
'owns' the configuration in the drive. Only make Configuration changes via the
Add-on Profile (AOP).
If a port is not write-protected, then a change that is made by another tool (for
example, a HIM at Port 1) clears the Configuration Signature for the
respective port. This causes ADC to trigger on the next network I/O
connection and overwrite the change with the configuration that was stored in
the controller.
The HIM and other software tools, such as Connected Components
Workbench, can continue to be used for purposes of monitoring.
ADC and Logix Memory
Start in RSLogix 5000 Designer application software, version 16 or later, drive
configuration settings are stored in the project ACD file that is downloaded
and stored in the controller. Configuration settings for ADC-capable devices
contain additional port and script information.
A typical PowerFlex drive consumes less than 25 kilobytes of Logix memory
per drive. Most Logix controllers have megabytes of memory available, so
memory typically is not an issue. You can monitor Logix memory usage in
RSLogix 5000 / Studio 5000 application via the Controller Properties
window.
Peripheral Changes When Using ADC
The PowerFlex 755T drives and bus supplies check the power peripherals
(power modules, LCL filters, precharge modules, and Torque Accuracy
Modules) every time it powers up. During power up, the system checks to see if
the peripherals are the same and in the same order. If the power peripherals are
replaced, or the order of the power peripherals changes, then the PowerFlex
755T detects the change. Changes to the following items trigger the need for
acknowledgment:
• Power peripheral added
• Power peripheral removed
•Power changed
• Backplane option peripheral removed
• Backplane option peripheral changed
ADC cannot operate until a user acknowledges the change, and the following
features are unavailable until the change is accepted:
• The Line Side Converter cannot be modulated.
• The Motor Side Inverter cannot be modulated.
• A command to reset cannot be accepted.
• A parameter download cannot be accepted.
Rockwell Automation Publication 750COM-UM009A-EN-P - May 2017 77
Configuring the Drive in a Logix System Chapter 3
The PowerFlex 755T indicates a configuration change in 0:90 [Cfg Status].
The configuration change must be manually accepted by entering a value of
'Accept' (1) in 0:91 [Cfg Acknowledge].
Follow the procedure to use ADC when servicing power peripherals:
1. Remove power from the system and de-energize the cabinet.
2. Disconnect the Ethernet cable.
3. Update the hardware configuration as needed, this includes replacing
and re-ordering power peripherals and making the needed fiber optic
connections.
4. Verify the updated hardware configuration for correctness and verify
that the power peripherals are properly secured and installed.
5. Verify that the fiber optic connections to the power peripherals are
correct.
6. Apply power.
7. Accept the configuration change by entering the value ‘Accept (1)’ as the
input for 0:91 [Cfg Acknowledge].
8. Remove power from the system and de-energize the cabinet. This could
be needed to gain safe access to the Ethernet port.
9. Connect the Ethernet cable.
10. Apply power.
11. If a 24V auxiliary power is used, power must be cycled on the drive for a
second time.
If the Ethernet cable is connected before the acknowledgment, ADC attempts
to download repeatedly, and fails repeatedly, until the acknowledgment is
accepted.
Special Considerations For 20-750-S1 Safe Speed Module (S1)
There are special considerations when using ADC with the 20-750-S1 safe
speed module. The discrete wired or hardwired advanced safety cards require
manual user intervention before the drive can become operational. ADC can
still be used, even though a manual step of the drive is required.
IMPORTANT After a power peripheral change is detected, the PowerFlex 755T does not
accept downloads from the controller until the configuration change is
accepted in 0:91 [Cfg Acknowledge].
78 Rockwell Automation Publication 750COM-UM009A-EN-P - May 2017
Chapter 3 Configuring the Drive in a Logix System
Along with the configuration of the Safe Speed Monitor (SSM), the password
for the module is stored in the configuration script in the controller. The
password is used as part of the connection process to allow the configuration
that is stored in the controller to be downloaded to the module. This password
must be entered into the profile for the 20-750-S1 module (S1) in the Module
Properties dialog box of the drive, in RSLogix 5000 / Studio 5000 application.
This password value is entered in Parameter 13 of the 20-750-S1 module (S1)
on controller download to the module. Record the parameter value for future
use when interacting with the module. Enter the password into
Parameter 1 for the 20-750-S1 module (S1) to allow either locking via
Parameter 5 or by changing the password via Parameter 13 and 17.
The following manual steps take an existing configured SSM out of Run mode
to allow the controller to download the configuration to the new SSM. For
example, during replacement of the drive and reuse of the existing module.
1. Inhibit the drive connection—or disconnect the communication card
through which the controller is trying to configure the 20-750-S1
module by using ADC.
2. Set SSM Parameter 1 [Password] to the current password of the
module.
3. Set the SSM Parameter 5 [Lock State] to ‘0’ (Unlock).
4. Set the SSM Parameter 6 [Operating Mode] to ‘0’ (Program).
5. If the SSM password is not ‘0’, change the password of the Module to ‘0’.
6. Set the SSM Parameter 1 [Password] to the current password of the
module.
IMPORTANT Firmware Supervisor cannot be used to update the 20-750-S1 module
firmware, due to unique upgrade components within its safety core. The
firmware can be manually upgraded using ControlFLASH, a 1203-USB Serial
Converter, and the appropriate upgrade file.
IMPORTANT Before you save the configuration to the controller, do not set the SSM
parameters in the Add-on Profile configuration:
• Parameter 5 [Lock State] to ‘1’ (Lock)
• Parameter 6 [Operating Mode] to ‘1’ (Run)
By setting these parameters, you lock the Module, stop writing the higher
numbered parameters, and cause the ADC download to fail. These two
parameters must be changed manually after performing an upload or after
the ADC download.
IMPORTANT Perform these manual steps when the Ethernet cable is disconnected from
the drive.The controller, while attempting to configure the S1 Module locks
out writes from other sources, such as the HIM.
Rockwell Automation Publication 750COM-UM009A-EN-P - May 2017 79
Configuring the Drive in a Logix System Chapter 3
7. Set the SSM Parameter 13 [New Password] to ‘0’.
8. Set the SSM Parameter 17 [Password Command] to ‘1’ (Change
PW).
9. Uninhibit the connection or reconnect the cable.
The controller can download the new configuration, including the new
password.
The following manual steps are required to put the safe speed monitor (S1)
into Run mode, generate a configuration signature, and lock the configuration.
To replace the (S1) Module with a new, out-of-the-box unit.
1. Set the safe module (S1) Parameter 6 [Operating Mode] to ‘1’ (Run).
A configuration signature is generated.
2. Access the safe module (S1) Parameter 10 [Signature ID] and record
the configuration signature value that is stored in this parameter.
3. Enter the current password for the safe module (S1) into parameter 1
[Password].
4. Set the safe module (S1) Parameter 5 [Lock State] to ‘1’ (Lock).
These steps can be performed with a HIM, drive software configuration tool,
or via an HMI that can trigger explicit message writes from the controller
program. To meet SIL CL3, PLe, or Cat 4 requirements, verify that the correct
configuration is locked in the safe speed monitor (S1). See the drive and safe
monitor (S1) documentation for more information.
Special Considerations for Communications and Option Developers
Kit Option Cards
There are special considerations when using ADC with communications
option cards or Options Developer Kit (ODK) cards. Communication option
cards include the following: 20-750-CNETC, 20-750-DNET, 20-750-
ENETR, 20-750-PBUS, 20-750-PNET, and 20-750-PNET2P. ODK cards
include the 20-750sc-8u from Spectrum Controls.
ADC can still be used, but these cards require a power cycle before the drive
can become operational.
Testing ADC
ADC can be tested by clearing the Configuration Signature in a drive port and
then either cycling power or by resetting the drive. Possible methods are:
IMPORTANT Before operating the drive or bus supply, perform a power cycle
after the ADC configuration download.
80 Rockwell Automation Publication 750COM-UM009A-EN-P - May 2017
Chapter 3 Configuring the Drive in a Logix System
Method 1
1. Connect via the Ethernet by using a second configuration tool, such as
Connected Component Workbench (CCW).
2. Change any unused parameters in the drive and/or peripheral ports.
Note the parameter value before and after your change. It is the initial
parameter write that causes the Configuration Signature to clear for a
particular port.
3. Reset the drive from the tool.
ADC triggers and executes.
4. Check the parameter that you changed to verify it has changed back to
the original setting.
Method 2
1. If a HIM is present and the port it resides in Port 1 is not write
protected, use the HIM to change any unused parameter in drive /
peripheral. It is the initial parameter write that causes the Configuration
Signature to clear for a particular port.
2. Reset (similar to step 3).
ADC triggers and executes.
3. Check the parameter that you changed to verify it has changed back to
the original setting.
Monitoring ADC Progress
The time that it takes for the Firmware Supervisor, ADC, and connection
process to complete varies from seconds to several minutes depending on
several factors.
• Whether Firmware Supervisor is enabled and must upgrade the drive
and/or any peripherals before ADC occurs. Updating drives or
peripherals add significantly to the connection process time and is
similar to the time it takes to update manually using ControlFLASH
software.
• The number of peripherals that are enabled for ADC.
• If a configuration signature, for the drive/peripheral, indicates that a
configuration download must be performed for the given port.
• If a 20-750-S1 option module, which requires a manual step in its
configuration process, is used.
• The number of drive resets required for ports with configuration
parameters require a reset to become active.

additional information. When online, the drive at issue has a yellow triangle
next to it in the Logix Designer application project I/O Configuration
folder.
When online, the AOP shows the connection status:
The following are examples of Logix controller ADC ‘failures’ with identified
potential issues and associated solutions.

Monitoring Connection
Status and the ADC
Configuration Signature
The Ethernet connection status between the Logix controller and PowerFlex
drive can be monitored using a GSV instruction.
•Class: Module
• Instance: {name of drive in project}
• Attribute: Entry status (returns a value that indicates status)
See the RSLogix 5000 / Studio 5000 application Help for more information
on the GSV Instruction, GSV/SSV Objects, and the Module Object.
The Configuration Signature for a given Port in the PowerFlex drive can be
monitored using an MSG instruction. The following MSG instruction reads
the Configuration Signature from Port 0 in a PowerFlex drive.
The MSG instruction Get Attribute Single uses the DPI™ Device Object
(Class 92 Hex) to access Port 0 in drive (Instance 0). It then reads the
Configuration Signature (Attribute 26 Hex = 38 Dec). See DPI Device Object
on page 138 for additional information.
ADC doesn’t
complete when 20-
750-S1 (S1) option
module is used.
Required manual steps to
unlock/lock and set the
password are not performed.
ADC is not fully automatic when used with a 20-750-S1
(S1) module. Safety systems have a mandatory
requirement for manual steps in the configuration process.
See Special Considerations For 20-750-S1 Safe Speed
Module (S1) on page 75 for more information.
ADC fails due to
parameter out of
range error.
The Min/Max on a parameter
was affected when another
parameter was adjusted.
Out of range parameters have a red highlight in the Linear
List parameter editor. Locate and correct any out of range
parameters.
Drive is at default
configuration
settings after ADC is
performed
(equivalent to a
Reset to Defaults).
Drive configuration did not
upload and save to the drive
AOP and was not saved in the
ACD project that is
downloaded to the controller.
Can occur when a second software tool is being used to
configure the drive. A second tool is not necessary and not
recommended. Upload the configuration from the drive
and save it in the drive AOP. Download project to controller.

Chapter 3 Configuring the Drive in a Logix System
Figure 13 shows an example Logix program that monitors the Ethernet
connection status to the PowerFlex drive and checks for a Configuration
Signature in Port 0 in the drive. If the connection is running (4000 Hex =
16384 Dec), a timer is used to read the Configuration Signature periodically in
Port 0 in the drive. If there is no Configuration Signature present, all read data
are zeros.
Figure 13 - Example of the Logix Program
Additional MSG instructions would be required to read the Configuration
Signatures in the other ports.
Figure 13
is an example only and is optional. The GSV is good way to check
Ethernet connection status for program use and to display status on an HIM. A
Running connection to control the drive is required. If ADC is enabled, the
Running status confirms a successful ADC download. The status information
that is displayed is the same as when online with the AOP.
Reading the Configuration Signature is not typical, but could be used to detect
and annunciate that a configuration change was made. When a configuration
change is made, ADC triggers and downloads on the next I/O connection. A
drive may not power cycle or reset for a considerable time, it could be days or
months before an I/O connection is dropped and re-established to allow ADC
to occur. When ADC does occur, it overwrites any changes that were made
outside of the drive AOP.

Configuring the Drive in a Logix System Chapter 3
Best Practices
When using ADC in your control system, adhere to the following
recommendations:
• To configure a drive, use only the Studio 5000 environment drive AOP.
If another tool is used to configure the drive, complete the drive
configuration and then upload the configuration to the drive AOP and
save your project. Use the drive AOP for any future configuration
changes. A HIM or CCW can still be used, but only for monitoring.
• Enable ADC as the last step in the commissioning process, after all drive
configurations have been completed. By enabling ADC as the last step, it
inhibits ADC downloads from being triggered after any parameter
adjustments are made during the commissioning process.
• Upload the configuration from the drive before ADC is enabled. This
action makes sure that rating, peripherals, firmware revisions, and
parameter configuration settings in the ACD project match the settings
in the drive.
• Enable and test ADC with one drive or a small group of drives before
enabling it for the remaining drives in the control system. Apply any
lessons learned to the configuration settings of the other drives in the
project. Verify that ADC is successfully working before proceeding to
enable it on other drives.
• After testing ADC with an initial drive, enable ADC in small groups of
drives at a time (for example, five drives). Make sure all drives
successfully come up on the network and are operational before
proceeding to the next group.

Chapter 4
Using the I/O
This chapter provides information and examples that explain how to control,
configure, and monitor PowerFlex® 755T drives by using the configured I/O.
This chapter discusses how to use I/O after you have configured the interface
and controller.
To configure the interface and controller on the network for the required I/O
see Chapter 2
, Configure the interface, and Chapter 3, Configuring the drive
in a Logix System. The Glossary
defines the different options.
About I/O Messaging
On CIP-based networks, including EtherNet/IP and I/O connections, are
used to transfer the data that controls the PowerFlex drive and sets its reference.
I/O connections can also be used to transfer data to and from datalinks in
PowerFlex 755T drives.
The interface includes the logic command, logic status, reference, feedback,
and memory allocation for the generic Ethernet module profile (all as 32-bit
words) in the I/O image of the controller. This basic I/O must be configured

Chapter 4 Using the I/O
in the Ethernet bridge using the RSLogix 5000® / Studio 5000® environment.
Additional I/O, if needed, can be set using up to 16 datalinks to write data
and/or up to 16 datalinks to read data. When using any combination of these
datalinks, add one 32-bit word for each datalink to the basic I/O Input Size
and/or Output Size.
Understanding the
ControlLogix Controller I/O
Image
The terms input and output are defined from the point of view of the
controller. Therefore, output I/O is controller produced data that is used by
the drive. Input I/O is drive produced status data that is used as input by the
controller. The I/O image varies based on the following:
• How many of the 32-bit datalinks (DL From Net 01…16 and DL To
Net 01…16) for the drive are used.
• ControlLogix®/CompactLogix™ Controllers only - The drive profile
that is used in RSLogix 5000 software, version 20 and Studio 5000
environment, version 21 or later. Add-on Profile is version 1.xx or later.
The drive Add-on Profile in the RSLogix 5000 and Studio 5000 environments
provide descriptive controller tags. The I/O image (tag size and location) is
automatically configured based on the drive being used. A generic profile also
exists and could be used.
Rockwell Automation Publication 750COM-UM009A-EN-P - May 2017 89
Using the I/O Chapter 4
Tab le 6 shows the I/O image when using all 32-bit datalinks.
Using Logic Command/Status
The controller produces the logic command, a 32-bit word of control data,
which is used by the drive or bus supply. The drive or bus supply produces logic
status, a 32-bit word of status data, which is used by the controller.
When using a ControlLogix controller with the drive Add-on Profile, the logic
command word is always DINT 0 in the output image. The logic status word is
always DINT 0 in the input image.
This manual contains the bit definitions for compatible products available at
the time of publication in Appendix E
, Logic Command/Status Words:
PowerFlex 755T drives and Bus Supplies.
Using Reference/Feedback
The controller produces the reference, a 32-bit REAL (floating point) word of
control data that is used by the PowerFlex drives 755TL, 755TR, or 755TM
common bus inverter. The drive or bus supply produces feedback, a 32-bit
REAL (floating point) word of status data, which is used by the controller.

Chapter 4 Using the I/O
When using a ControlLogix controller with the drive Add-on Profile, the 32-
bit REAL reference word is always DINT 1 in the output image (see Ta bl e 6
).
The 32-bit REAL feedback word is always DINT 1 in the input image.
When using a drive Add-on Profile, the reference and feedback are
automatically properly formatted and displayed as a controller tag. When using
a generic profile, a COP (copy) instruction or user-defined data type (UDDT)
is required to write values to the reference and read values from the feedback.
The reference and feedback 32-bit REAL values represent drive velocity. The
scaling for the speed reference and feedback is dependent on drive 10:1891 -
[Velocity Units]. For example, if Parameter 1891 is set to hertz, a 32-bit REAL
reference value of ‘30.0’ would equal a reference of 30.0 Hz. If Parameter 1891
is set to RPM, a 32-bit REAL reference value of ‘1020.5’ would equal a
reference of 1020.5 RPM. The commanded maximum speed can never exceed
the value of drive 10:1392 - [Max Speed Fwd]. Tab le 7
shows example
references and their results for a PowerFlex 755T drive that has its:
• 10:1891 - [Velocity Units] set to Hz.
• 10:422 - [Maximum Freq] set to 130 Hz.
• 10:1392 - [Max Speed Fwd] set to 60 Hz.
When 10:1891 - [Velocity Units] is set to RPM, the other parameters are also
in RPM.

(1) The effects of values less than 0.0 depend on whether the PowerFlex 755T drive uses a bipolar or unipolar direction mode. See the
drive documentation for details.
(2) For this example, drive 10:1891 - [Velocity Units] is set to Hz.
(3) The drive runs at 60 Hz instead of 130 Hz or 65 Hz because drive 10:1392 - [Max Speed Fwd] sets 60 Hz as the Maximum velocity.
Rockwell Automation Publication 750COM-UM009A-EN-P - May 2017 91
Using the I/O Chapter 4
Using Datalinks
A datalink is a mechanism that is used by PowerFlex drives to transfer data to
and from the controller. Datalinks allow a drive parameter value to be read or
written to without using an explicit message. When enabled, each datalink
occupies one 32-bit word in a ControlLogix controller.
The following rules apply when using PowerFlex 755T drive datalinks:
• The target of a datalink can be any Host parameter, including host
parameters of a peripheral. For example, drive 10:1915 - [VRef Accel
Time 1] can be the target of the built-in EtherNet/IP interface and any
or all option modules that are installed in the drive.
•The settings of 0:321…336 - [DL From Net 01…16] and
0:340…355 - [DL To Net 01…16] determine the data that is passed
through the datalink mechanism of the drive.
• When an I/O connection that includes datalinks is active, those
datalinks being used are locked and cannot be changed until that I/O
connection becomes idle or inactive.
• When you use a datalink to change a value, the value is not written to
the nonvolatile storage (NVS). The value is stored in volatile memory
and lost when the drive loses power. Use datalinks to change the value of
a parameter frequently.
Datalinks for PowerFlex 755T peripherals are locked when the peripheral has
an I/O connection with a controller. For example, the built-in EtherNet/IP
interface on PowerFlex 755T drives only, and option modules such as an
encoder or a communication module. When a controller has an I/O
connection to the drive, the drive does not allow anything that could change
the makeup of the I/O connection in a running system. For example, a reset to
defaults and configuration download. The I/O connection with the controller
must first be disabled to allow changes to the respective datalinks.
Depending on the controller being used, the I/O connection can be disabled
by doing the following:
• Inhibiting the module in Studio 5000 or RSLogix 5000 environment
• Putting the controller in Program mode
• Disconnecting the drive from the network

Example of Ladder Logic
Program Information
The example ladder logic programs in this chapter are intended for and operate
PowerFlex 755T drives.
Functions of the Example Programs
The following can be accomplished by using the example programs.
• Receive logic status information from the drive.
• Send a logic command to control the drive (for example, start, stop).
• Send a reference to the drive and receive feedback from the drive.
• Send/receive datalink data to/from the drive.
Logic Command/Status Words
These examples use the logic command word and logic status word for
PowerFlex 755T drives. See Appendix E
, Logic Command/Status Words:

Create Ladder Logic Using the RSLogix or Studio 5000 with Drive
Add-on Profiles
The drive Add-on Profile automatically creates descriptive controller tags
(Figure 10
) for the entire I/O image in Chapter 3. Use these tags to control and
monitor the drive without creating any ladder logic program. However, if HIM
devices (for example, a PanelView™ graphic terminal) are used to operate the
drive and view its status, create descriptive user-defined Program tags
(Figure 14
). Also create a ladder logic program that passes the Controller tag
data to the Program tags. The drive profile that is used in RSLogix 5000
software, is version 20 and Studio 5000 environment, is version 21 or later with
Add-on Profile version 1.xx or later.

Explanation of Request and Response Data for Scattered Read Multiple Messaging 109
IMPORTANT The drive saves parameter values that are written through Scattered Write
messages into the drives nonvolatile storage (NVS). The NVS allows only a
limited number of write cycles before it cannot store data reliably. To avoid
reaching this limit, do not use the Scattered Write messages for continuous
changes to parameter values.
If a parameter value must be changed continuously, you can use the
datalinks that are associated with the Logix controller's I/O connection, or
you can use individual parameter write messages that store the values that
are written to random access memory (RAM) rather than nonvolatile storage
(NVS) (see class 0x93, instance attribute 10, on page 147
).

Performing Explicit
Messaging
There are five basic events in the Explicit Messaging process. The details of
each step vary depending on the type of controller being used. See the
documentation for your controller.
Figure 18 - Explicit Message Process
For information on the maximum number of Explicit Messages that can be
executed at a time, see the documentation for the bridge or communication
bridge and/or controller that is being used.
Event Description
1 You format the required data and configure the ladder logic program to send an Explicit Message request to
the communication bridge (download).
2 The communication bridge transmits the Explicit Message Request to the controlled device over the
network.
3 The controlled device transmits the Explicit Message Response back to the communication bridge. The data
is stored in the communication bridge buffer.
4 The controller retrieves the Explicit Message Response from the communication bridge buffer.

(3) When the Attribute value is set to ‘9’, the parameter value is written to nonvolatile storage (NVS) of the drive. The drive retains the parameter value even after the drive
power is cycled. Important: When set to ‘9’, the NVS can quickly exceed its lifecycle and cause the drive to malfunction. By setting the Attribute value to ‘A’ it writes the
parameter value to temporary memory, which deletes the parameter value after the drive power is cycled. When frequent write messages are required, we recommended
using the ‘A’ setting.

(6) In this example, Accel Time 1 is a 32-bit REAL (floating point) parameter that requires the Data Type field to be set to ‘REAL’ when creating the controller tag. To write to a
32-bit integer parameter, set the tag Data Type field to ‘DINT’. For a 16-bit parameter, set the Data Type field to ‘INT’. Also, the Source Length field on the Message
Configuration dialog box must correspond to the selected Data Type in bytes. For example, 4-bytes for a REAL or DINT, or 2-bytes for an INT. See the drive documentation to
determine the size of the parameter and its data type.

(4) In this example, we are reading five 32-bit REAL (floating point) parameters. Each parameter being read requires two contiguous DINT registers. Therefore, a controller tag
was created with its Data Type field set to ‘DINT[10]’. Also, the Source Length field on the Message Configuration dialog box must correspond to the selected Data Type in
bytes (for this example, 40-bytes for a DINT[10] array). Scattered Read messages always assume that every parameter being read is a 32-bit parameter, regardless of its
actual size. Maximum message length is 256-bytes, which can read up to 32 parameters, regardless of their size. For parameter numbers, see DPI Parameter Object on
page 145 (Class code 0x93) or Host DPI Parameter Object on page 163 (Class code 0x9F).
(5) The controller tag for ‘Scattered_Read_Response’ must be the same size as the controller tag for ‘Scattered_Read_Request’. For this example, 40-bytes, but it can be
another data type (for this example, a UDDT to handle conversions to parameter values that are a REAL data type).

MSG Scattered_Write_Message MESSAGE
IMPORTANT The drive saves parameter values that are written through Scattered Write
messages into the drives nonvolatile storage (NVS). The NVS allows only a
limited number of write cycles before it cannot store data reliably. To avoid
reaching this limit, do not use the Scattered Write messages for continuous
changes to parameter values.
If a parameter value must be changed continuously, you can use the
datalinks that are associated with the Logix controller's I/O connection, or
you can use individual parameter write messages that store the values that
are written to Random Access Memory (RAM) rather than NVS (see class
0x93, instance attribute 10, on page 147
).

(5) In this example, we are writing to five 32-bit REAL (floating point) parameters. Each parameter being written to requires two contiguous DINT registers. Therefore, a
controller tag was created with its Data Type field set to the name of the UDDT of five interleaved DINTs and REALs. Also, the Source Length field on the Message
Configuration dialog box must correspond to the selected Data Type in bytes. For this example, 40-bytes for an array of five scattered REAL structures). Scattered write

Explanation of Request and Response Data for Scattered Read
Multiple Messaging
The data structures in Tabl e 1 4 and Tab le 15 use 32-bit words and can
accommodate up to 32 parameters in a message. In the Response Message, a
parameter number with Bit 31 set indicates that the associated parameter value
field contains an error code (parameter number in response data is negative).
The PowerFlex drives with TotalFORCE™ Control Programming Manual,
publication 750-PM100
, lists the data type for each parameter. When
performing a Scattered Read of REAL data type parameters, the DINT
parameter value in the Response (Destination Data) array must be COP to a
REAL tag.

Chapter 6 Troubleshooting
Viewing and Clearing Events
The interface has an event queue to record significant events that occur in the
operation of the interface. When such an event occurs, an entry consisting of
the numeric code of the event and a time stamp is put into the event queue. You
can view the event queue using CCW. The event queue cannot be viewed using
the HIM.
The event queue can contain up to 100 entries, which are stored in nonvolatile
storage (NVS). Eventually the event queue becomes full, since its contents are
retained through power cycles and resets. At that point, a new entry replaces
the oldest entry. Only an event queue clear operation clears the event queue
contents.
Many events in the event queue occur under normal operation. If you
encounter unexpected communication problems, the events can help you or
Allen-Bradley® personnel troubleshoot the problem. The following events can
appear in the event queue.
68 Net Addr Sw The present value of the interface node address (rotary) switches.
69 MDIX Status Indicates the type of cable that is connected to the interface ports.
P1 = ENET1 network port and P2 = ENET2 network port.
Bit 0 - P1 Normal
Bit 1 - P1 Swapped
Bit 2 - P2 Normal
Bit 3 - P2 Swapped
70 Net Heap Avail The amount of data memory available to the network communication firmware

Idle Fault Action
Sets the action that the communication interface and drive take when the controller
leaves the run mode (faulted or in program mode). When the controller returns to the
Run mode, the drive automatically receives the logic command, reference, and datalinks
over the network again.
‘Fault’ (0) – The response is a major fault. The drive stops modulating, the motor coasts
to a stop, and a fault reset is required to resume operation.
‘Stop’ (1) – The response is to stop in the way set by the active stop mode.
‘Zero Data’ (2) – The response is to continue operating, but to put zeros in the logic
command, reference, and datalinks.
‘Hold Last’ (3) – The response is to continue operating, and to use the last values in the
logic command, reference, and datalinks.
‘Send Flt Cfg’ (4) – The response is to continue operating, but to use the logic command
that is specified in parameter 364

N42 This N-file lets you read and write some values configuring the port.
N42:3 Time-out (read/write): Time (in seconds) allowed between messages to the N45 file. If the interface does not receive a
message in the specified time, it performs the fault action configured in its [Comm Flt Action] parameter. A valid
setting is 1...32767 seconds (5…20 seconds is recommended).
N42:7 Interface Port Number (read only): Drive port in which the interface resides.
N42:8 Peer interface (read only): Bit field of devices with peer messaging capabilities.
N45 This N-file lets you read and write control I/O messages. You can write control I/O messages only when the following
conditions are true:
The interface is not receiving /O from a controller. For example, there is no controller on the network, the controller is
in idle (program) mode, the controller is faulted, or the interface is not mapped to the controller.
The value of N42:3 is set to a nonzero value.

SSpppp. Where SS = slot number of device to which this Extended Parameter
Reference is pointing. And pppp = number of the parameter or diagnostic item to
which this Extended Parameter Reference is pointed. An Extended Parameter
Reference can only select parameters unlike an Indirect Selector. An Extended
Parameter Reference could be used to configure a datalink or show the source of a
Reference (among other uses).

21 Uses Rating Table
Object
This parameter has rating-dependent defaults and limits that can be obtained from
the Rating Table Object. The Offline Read Full includes the default value for the
smallest rating and limits. These limits accommodate the full range of values that
are allowed in the family of devices using this particular combination of Family Code
and Config Code. The Online Read Full includes the rating-dependent default and
limit values for this particular combination of Family Code, Config Code, and Rating
Code.
22 Writable Referenced
Parameter
This bit must be zero unless the parameter is an Extended Parameter Reference. If
the parameter is an Extended Parameter Reference, then:
0 = The referenced parameter can be read-only or writable.
1 = The referenced parameter must always be writable (including while
running).
23 Disallow Zero This bit must be zero unless the parameter is an Indirect Selector or Extended
Parameter Reference. If the parameter is an Indirect Selector or Extended Parameter
Reference, then:
0 = Allow zero
1 = Disallow zero
If this bit is cleared, to indicate that a value of zero is allowed. The device must
support the ‘Zero Text’ parameter attribute so that a software tool or HIM can obtain
text from the Zero Text parameter attribute.
If this bit is set (indicating that a value of zero is disallowed), a software tool or HIM
does not allow you to enter a value of zero.
24 Datalink Out This bit is used by offline tools and indicates a datalink Out parameter. Set bit 20.
25 Datalink In This bit is used by offline tools and indicate a datalink In parameter. Set bits 20 and
22.
26 Not Writable While I/O
Active
This parameter cannot be written if the I/O data being exchanged between the Host
and the peripheral is valid.
27 Command Parameter This parameter commands the drive to do an action, such as ‘Reset Defaults’ or
‘Autotune’, and then returns to a value of zero. Offline software tools does not allow
setting this parameter to anything other than a value of zero. If an offline file
contains a Command Parameter with a nonzero value, the offline software tool
changes the value to zero. Command parameters cannot have values that do not
return to zero.
28 Current Value Is Default This bit identifies a parameter that does not change if a ‘Reset Defaults’ is
commanded. For example, if a drive contains a Language parameter that is set to
German, setting defaults leave the parameter set to German. Likewise, if the
parameter is set to French, setting defaults leave the parameter set to French.
29 Use Zero Text If the ‘Disallow Zero’ bit is set, this bit must be cleared. If the ‘Disallow Zero’ bit is
cleared, then:
0 = Use Disabled Text parameter class attribute.
1 = Use Zero Text parameter instance attribute.

An Extended Parameter Reference contains a reference to another parameter. The value is formatted the same as
an analog-mode Indirect Selector parameter SSpppp. Where SS = slot number of device to which this Extended
Parameter Reference is pointing. And pppp = number of the parameter or diagnostic item to which this
Extended Parameter Reference is pointed. An Extended Parameter Reference can only select parameters unlike
an Indirect Selector. An Extended Parameter Reference could be used to configure a datalink or show the source
of a reference (among other uses).

22 Writable Referenced
Parameter
This bit must be zero unless the parameter is an Extended Parameter Reference. If the parameter is an Extended
Parameter Reference, then:
0 = The referenced parameter can be read-only or writable.
1 = The referenced parameter must always be writable (including while running).
23 Disallow Zero This bit must be zero unless the parameter is an Indirect Selector or Extended Parameter Reference. If the
parameter is an Indirect Selector or Extended Parameter Reference, then:
0 = Allow zero
1 = Disallow zero
If this bit is cleared, indicating that a value of zero is allowed. The device must support the ‘Zero Text’ parameter
attribute so that a software tool or HIM can obtain text from the Zero Text parameter attribute.
If this bit is set (indicating that a value of zero is disallowed), a software tool or HIM does not allow you to enter a
value of zero.
24 Datalink Out This bit is used by offline tools and indicates a datalink Out parameter. Set bit 20.
25 Datalink In This bit is used by offline tools and indicates a datalink In parameter. Set bits 20 and 22.
26 Not Writable While I/O Active This parameter cannot be written if the I/O data being exchanged between the Host and the peripheral is valid.
27 Command Parameter This parameter commands the drive to complete and action, such as ‘Reset Defaults’ or ‘Autotune’, and then
returns to a value of zero. Offline software tools do not allow setting this parameter to anything other than a
value of zero. If an offline file contains a Command Parameter with a nonzero value, the offline software tool
changes the value to zero. Command parameters cannot have values that do not return to zero.
28 Current Value Is Default This bit identifies a parameter that does not change if a ‘Reset Defaults’ is commanded. For example, if a drive
contains a Language parameter that is set to German, setting defaults leave the parameter set to German.
Likewise, if the parameter is set to French, setting defaults leave the parameter set to French.
29 Use Zero Text If the ‘Disallow Zero’ bit is set, this bit must be cleared. If the ‘Disallow Zero’ bit is cleared, then:
0 = Use Disabled Text parameter class attribute.
1 = Use Zero Text parameter instance attribute.

Glossary
The following terms and abbreviations are used throughout this manual. For
definitions of terms that are not listed here, refer to the Allen-Bradley®
Industrial Automation Glossary, publication AG-7.1
.
Adapter Devices such as drives, controllers, and computers usually require a network
communication adapter to provide a communication interface between them
and a network such as EtherNet/IP. An adapter reads data on the network and
transmits it to the connected device. It also reads data in the device and
transmits it to the network.
The built-in EtherNet/IP adapter connects its PowerFlex® 755T drive to an
EtherNet/IP network. Adapters are sometimes also called cards, built-in
communication options, gateways, modules, or peripherals.
ADC (Automatic Device
Configuration)
A feature in both RSLogix 5000® software, version 20 and Studio 5000®
environment, version 21 or later. Supports the automatic download of
configuration data upon the Logix controller establishing an EtherNet/IP
network connection to a PowerFlex 755T drive (and its associated
peripherals).
BOOTP (Bootstrap Protocol) BOOTP lets the interface configure its network address dynamically at restart
if the network has a BOOTP server. The BOOTP server assigns the interface a
preconfigured IP address, a subnet mask, and a gateway address. Therefore, you
do not have to configure these with the parameters in the interface. BOOTP
can make it easier to administer an Ethernet network. A free version of the
Rockwell Software® BOOTP-DHCP server can be obtained at http://
www.rockwellautomation.com/global/relianceelectricdrives/bootp-
utility.page.
Bridge A network device that can route messages from one network to another. A
bridge also refers to a communication module in a ControlLogix® controller
that connects the controller to a network.
CIP (Common Industrial Protocol) CIP-based networks are the transport and application layer protocol that is
used for messaging over EtherNet/IP, ControlNet, and DeviceNet networks.
The protocol is used for implicit messaging (real-time I/O) and Explicit
Messaging (configuration, data collection, and diagnostics).
Communication Bridge A communication bridge is a separate module (of a multi-module controller)
or a built-in component (of a single-module controller) that provides
communication with adapters that are connected to a network. See also
Controller.
Connected
ComponentsWorkbench™ software
The recommended tool for monitoring and configuring Allen-Bradley drive
products and option modules. It can be used on computers that run various
Microsoft Windows® operating systems. You can obtain a free copy of
Connected Components Workbench™ software at http://www.ab.com/
support/abdrives/webupdate/software.html.

Glossary
ControlFLASH A free software tool that is used to update the firmware of Allen-Bradley
products. ControlFLASH™ software is downloaded automatically when the
firmware revision file for the product being updated is downloaded from the
Allen-Bradley updates website to your computer. ControlFLASH version 13 is
not supported.
Controller A controller, also called programmable logic controller, is a solid-state control
system that has a user-programmable memory for storage of instructions to
implement specific functions. The functions include: I/O control, logic,
timing, counting, report generation, communication, arithmetic, and data file
manipulation. A controller consists of a central processor, input/output
interface, and memory.
Controller Hierarchy An interface that is configured for a Controller hierarchy exchanges data with
the Logix Controller. Usually, a network has one communication bridge,
which is the controlling device, and all other devices (for example, drives
connected to EtherNet/IP adapters) are I/O devices.
On a network with multiple controllers, each I/O device must have a
communication bridge that is linked to a specified controller.
Data Rate The speed at which data is transferred on the EtherNet/IP network. You can
set the interface to a data rate of 10 Mbps Full-Duplex, 10 Mbps half-duplex,
100 Mbps Full-Duplex, or 100 Mbps Half-Duplex. If the network switch or
link auto-negotiates the data rate, you can set the interface to detect the data
rate.
Datalinks A datalink is a type of pointer that is used by PowerFlex 755T drives to transfer
data to and from the controller. Datalinks allow specified parameter values to
be accessed or changed without using explicit messages. When enabled, each
32-bit datalink in a PowerFlex 755T drive consumes 4-bytes in the input image
and/or 4-bytes in the output image of the controller.
DHCP (Dynamic Host
Configuration Protocol)
DHCP lets the interface configure its network address dynamically at restart if
the network has a DHCP server. The DHCP server assigns the interface a
preconfigured IP address, a subnet mask, and a gateway address. Therefore, you
do not have to configure these with the parameters in the interface. DHCP can
make it easier to administer an Ethernet network. A free version of the
Rockwell Software BOOTP-DHCP server can be obtained at http://
www.rockwellautomation.com/global/relianceelectricdrives/bootp-
utility.page
DLR (Device Level Ring) Network A DLR network is a single-fault tolerant ring network that is intended for the
interconnection of automation devices. This topology is also implemented at
the device level. No additional switches are required.
DNS (Domain Name System) A hierarchical decentralized naming system for any resource that is connected
to the Internet or a private network. It associates various information with
domain names that are assigned to each of the participating entities.
Rockwell Automation Publication 750COM-UM009A-EN-P - May 2017 183
Glossary
Duplex Duplex describes the mode of communication. ‘Full-duplex’ communication
let a device exchange data in both directions simultaneously. ‘Half-duplex’
communication let a device exchange data only in one direction at a time. The
duplex that is used by the interface depends on the type of duplex that other
network devices, such as switches, support.
EDS (Electronic Data Sheet) Files Simple text files that are used by network configuration tools to describe
products so that you can easily commission them on a network. EDS files
describe a product device type and revision. EDS files for many Allen-Bradley
products can be found at http://www.ab.com/networks/eds
.
EtherNet/IP Network EtherNet/IP (Industrial Protocol) is an open Producer/Consumer
communication network that is based on the Ethernet standard (IEEE 802.3),
TCP/IP, UDP/IP, and CIP-based networks. Designed for industrial
communication, both I/O and explicit messages can be transmitted over the
network. Each device is assigned a unique IP address and transmits data on the
network. The number of devices that an EtherNet/IP network can support
depends on the class of IP address. For example, a network with a Class CIP
address can have 254 nodes.
General information about EtherNet/IP and the EtherNet/IP specification is
maintained by the Open DeviceNet Vendor’s Association (ODVA). ODVA is
online at http://www.odva.org
.
Explicit Messaging Explicit messages are used to transfer data that does not require continuous
updates. They are typically used to configure, monitor, and diagnose devices
over the network.
Fault Action A fault action determines how the interface and connected drive act when a
communication fault occurs or when the controller is switched out of run
mode. For example, when there is a disconnected cable. The former uses a
communication fault action, and the latter uses an idle fault action.
Fault Configuration When communication is disrupted (for example, a cable is disconnected), the
interface and connected drive can respond with a user-defined fault
configuration. The user sets the data that is sent to the drive by using specific
fault configuration parameters in the interface. When a fault action parameter
is set to use the fault configuration data and a fault occurs, the data from these
parameters is sent as the logic command, reference, and/or datalinks.
Gateway A device on a network that connects an individual network to a system of
networks. When a node must communicate with a node on another network, a
gateway transfers the data between the two networks. Configure the address
for the gateway device in the interface if you want the interface to
communicate with devices that are not on its network.
184 Rockwell Automation Publication 750COM-UM009A-EN-P - May 2017
Glossary
Hardware Address Each Ethernet device has a unique hardware address (sometimes called a MAC
address) that is 48-bits. The address appears as six digits that are separated by
colons (for example, xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx). Each digit has a value from 0 to 255
(0x00 and 0xFF). This address is assigned in the hardware and cannot be
changed. It is required to identify the device if you are using a BOOTP or
DHCP server.
HIM (Human Interface Module) A device that can be used to configure and control a drive. The PowerFlex 20-
HIM-A6 or 20-HIM-C6S HIM can be used to configure PowerFlex 755T
drives and their connected peripherals.
Hold Last When communication is disrupted (for example, a cable is disconnected), the
interface and its connected drive can respond by holding last. Hold last results
in the drive that is receiving the last data that is received via the network
connection before the disruption. If the drive was running and was using the
reference from the interface, it continues to run at the same reference.
Idle Action An idle action determines how the interface and connected drive act when the
controller is switched out of run mode.
IGMP (Internet Group
Management Protocol)
A communication protocol that is used by hosts and adjacent routers on
networks to establish multicast group memberships. IGMP is a part of IP
multicast.
IGMP Snooping The process of listening to Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP)
network traffic. The feature allows a network switch to listen in on the IGMP
conversation between hosts and routers. By listening to these conversations, the
switch maintains a map of which links need which IP multicast streams.
I/O Data I/O data, sometimes called ‘implicit messages’ or ‘input/output’, is time-critical
data such as a logic command and reference. The terms ‘input’ and ‘output’ are
defined from the controller’s point of view. The output is produced by the
controller and consumed by the interface. The input is produced by the
interface and consumed by the controller. The terms 'To Net' and 'From Net'
used in drive parameters are defined from the drives point of view. 'To Net' is
produced by the drive and consumed by the controller. 'From Net' is produced
by the controller and consumed by the drive.
IP Addresses A unique IP address identifies each node on an EtherNet/IP network. An IP
address consists of 32-bits that are divided into four segments of 1-byte each. It
appears as four decimal integers that are separated by periods
(xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx). Each ‘xxx’ can have a decimal value from 0 to 255. For
example, an IP address could be 192.168.0.1.
An IP address has two parts: a network ID and a host ID. The class of network
determines the format of the address.
01 7 15 23 31
Class A 0 Network ID Host ID
01 7 15 23 31
Class B 1 0 Network ID Host ID
Rockwell Automation Publication 750COM-UM009A-EN-P - May 2017 185
Glossary
The number of devices on your EtherNet/IP network vary depending on the
number of bytes that are used for the network address. In many cases, you are
given a network with a Class C address, in which the first 3-bytes contain the
network address (subnet mask = 255.255.255.0). This leaves 8-bits or 256
addresses on your network. Two addresses are reserved for special uses (0 is an
address for the network that is used by the router, and 255 is an address for
broadcast messages to all network devices). You have 254 addresses to use on a
Class C address block.
To be sure that each device on the Internet has a unique address, contact your
network administrator or Internet Service Provider for unique fixed IP
addresses. Set the unique IP address for the interface by using the rotary
address switches, a DHCP, or BOOTP server, or by manually configuring the
parameters in the interface. The interface reads the values of these parameters
only at power-up.
Logic Command/Logic Status The logic command is used to control the PowerFlex 755T drive (for example,
start, stop, and direction). It consists of one 32-bit word of output to the
interface from the network. The definitions of the bits in this word are shown
in Appendix E
.
The logic status is used to monitor the PowerFlex 755T drive (for example,
operating state and motor direction). It consists of one 32-bit word of input
from the interface to the network. The definitions of the bits in this word are
shown in Appendix E
.
NVS (Nonvolatile Storage) NVS is the permanent memory of a device. Devices such as the interface and
drive store parameters and other information in NVS so that they are not lost
when the device loses power. NVS is sometimes called ‘EEPROM’.
PCCC (Programmable Controller
Communication Command)
PCCC is the protocol that is used by some controllers to communicate with
devices on a network. Some software products also use PCCC to
communicate.
Ping A message that is sent on the network to determine if a node exists.
PowerFlex 755T (Architecture Class)
Drives
The Allen-Bradley PowerFlex 755T drives are part of the PowerFlex class of
architecture class drives.
Reference/Feedback The reference is used to send a set point (for example, speed, frequency, or
torque) to the drive. It consists of one 32-bit word of output to the drive from
the network.
Feedback is used to monitor the speed of the drive. It consists of one 32-bit
word of input from the interface to the network.

RSLogix 5000 Software RSLogix® software is a tool to configure and monitor controllers to
communicate with connected devices. It is a 32-bit application that runs on
various Windows operating systems. Information about RSLogix software can
be found at http://www.software.rockwell.com/rslogix
. See also Studio 5000
environment.
Status Indicators Light-emitting diodes that are used to report the status of the interface,
network, and drive. The status indicators for the interface can be viewed on the
front cover of the drive when the drive is powered.
Stop Action When communication is disrupted (for example, a cable is disconnected), the
interface and drive can respond with a stop action. A stop action results in the
drive receiving zero as values for logic command, reference, and datalink data
and an additional command that causes the drive to stop.
Studio 5000 Environment The Studio 5000 Engineering and Design Environment combines engineering
and design elements into a common environment. The first element in the
Studio 5000 environment is the Logix Designer application. The Logix

to be the product to program Logix 5000 controllers for discrete, process,
batch, motion, safety, and drive-based solutions.
The Studio 5000 environment is the foundation for the future of Rockwell
Automation engineering design tools and capabilities. It is the one place for
design engineers to develop all elements of their control system.
Subnet Mask An extension to the IP addressing scheme that lets you use one network ID for
multiple physical networks. A bit mask identifies the part of the address that
specifies the network and the part of the address that specifies the unique node
on the network. A ‘1’ in the subnet mask indicates the bit is used to specify the
network. A ‘0’ in the subnet mask indicates that the bit is used to specify the
node.
For example, a subnet mask on a network can appear as follows: 11111111
11111111 11111111 11000000 (255.255.255.192). This mask indicates that
26-bits are used to identify the network and 6-bits are used to identify devices
on each network. Instead of a physical Class C network with 254 devices, this
subnet mask divides it into four networks with up to 62 devices each.
Switches Network devices that provide virtual connections that help to control
collisions and reduce traffic on the network. They are able to reduce network
congestion by transmitting packets to an individual port only if they are
destined for the connected device. In a control application, in which real-time
data access is critical, network switches can be required in place of hubs.
TCP (Transmission
Control Protocol)
EtherNet/IP uses this protocol to transfer Explicit Messaging packets over IP.
TCP helps ensure delivery of data by using retries.
UDP (User Datagram Protocol) EtherNet/IP uses this protocol to transfer I/O packets by using IP. UDP
provides a simple, but fast capability to send I/O messaging packets between
Rockwell Automation Publication 750COM-UM009A-EN-P - May 2017 187
Glossary
devices. This protocol verifies that adapters transmit the most recent data
because it does not use acknowledgments or retries.
UDDT (user-defined data type) A structure data type that defines the development of an application, (for
example, to convert 32-bit REAL parameter data for write and read values then
display them in human readable format).
Update The process of updating firmware in a device. The device can be updated using
various Allen-Bradley software tools. See Updating the Interface Firmware on
page 47 for more information.
Zero Data When communication is disrupted (for example, a cable is disconnected), the
interface and drive can respond with zero data. Zero data results in the drive
receiving zero as values for logic command, reference, and datalink data. If the
drive was running and by using the reference from the interface, it stays
running but at zero reference.
