Module Configuration Attributes
The following attribute tables contains Module Configuration attributes
associated with components that are common to all axis instances of a multi-axis
CIP Motion device or module. Examples of these common device components are
a Bus Converter, Bus Regulator, Common Power Supply, Feedback Cards,
Network Interface, and so on. Module Configuration attributes may be included
in the CIP Motion Control Axis Object implementation or they may be included
as part of a vendor specific device interface. In the Rockwell Automation
implementation, these attributes appear as data elements of the Configuration Tag
(C-tag) data structure associated with each drive devices connection’s Map Object
instance. These C-tag elements are not accessible as object attributes and therefore
cannot be referenced programmatically using SSV, GSV, or MSG instructions.
The Need in Implementation Rules apply for either case.
The following general categories of module configuration attributes that are
defined:
Category Usage
Module Configuration Block Attributes on
page 471
Used to configure elements of the Configuration Block sent in the CIP Motion
Forward_Open.
Module Class Attributes on page 473 Used to configure Motion Device Axis Object class attributes associated with
the device.
Module Axis Attributes on page 474
Used to configure Motion Device Axis Object axis attributes that apply to a
common device component.
Module Feedback Port Attributes on page
489
Used to configure the mapping of feedback ports to feedback channels for
each axis instance.
Module Timing Attributes on page 490 Used to configure various time related aspects of the CIP Motion device.
Module Support Attributes on page 492 Used to determine the size and content of the configuration data needed by
the CIP Motion device.

The following collection of Module Class Attributes are stored in the controller
and sent to the module as part of the Configuration Block of the Forward_Open
service.
