• The Setup tab includes a DriveExecutive icon link to conveniently

launch DriveExecutive software (when installed on computer) to match
the adapter I/O configuration with the controller, and to assign the
Datalink parameters in the drive. This reduces I/O mismatches.

When Datalinks are used, you must enable the desired Datalinks and assign
names to their non-descriptive controller tags. When a Datalink is enabled,
you must set the following adapter I/O parameters:

• Parameter 23 - [DPI I/O Cfg] turns on the enabled Datalink bit so the

20-COMM-E adapter will communicate that Datalink’s information with
the drive.

• Parameter 35 - [M-S Input] turns on the enabled Datalink bit so the

20-COMM-E adapter will input that Datalink’s information from the
controller.

• Parameter 36 - [M-S Output] turns on the enabled Datalink bit so the

20-COMM-E adapter will output that Datalink’s information to the
controller.

When using Datalinks, up to 8 drive [Data In xx] parameters (300…307)
and/or up to 8 [Data Out xx] parameters (310…317) must be assigned to
point to the appropriate drive parameters for your application.

TIP: Because the RSLogix 5000 Classic Profile has been significantly
improved upon by RSLogix 5000 Drive Add-on Profiles, version 16.00 or
later, we recommend using RSLogix 5000 Drive Add-on Profiles to take
advantage of their benefits (more intuitive, time saving, and less likely to
make I/O configuration errors).
