Using I/O Messaging
Chapter 5 provides information and examples that explain how to use
I/O Messaging to control a PowerFlex drive.
I/O messaging is used to transfer the data which controls the PowerFlex
drive and sets its Reference. I/O can also be used to transfer data to and
from Datalinks in PowerFlex drives.
The PROFIBUS adapter provides options for configuring and using I/O,
including the following:
•
The size of I/O can be configured by enabling or disabling the Logic
Command/Reference and Datalinks.
Chapter 3 , Configuring the Adapter and Chapter 4 , Configuring the
Profibus Scanner discuss how to configure the adapter and scanner on
the network for these options. The Glossary defines the different options.
This chapter discusses how to use I/O after you have configured the
adapter and scanner.
