Configuring the I/O

6.

Click the Connection tab.

7.

In the “Requested Packet Interval (RPI)” box, set the value to 5.0
milliseconds or greater. This value determines the maximum interval that a
controller should use to move data to and from the adapter. To conserve
bandwidth, use higher values for communicating with low priority devices.
For this example, leave the “Inhibit Module” and Major Fault …” boxes
unchecked.

Click OK. The new node
(“ETHERNET-MODULE_PowerFlex_52X_Drive” in this example)
now appears under the

icon in the I/O Configuration folder. If

you double-click on the Input Controller Tag (

Input Image Controller

) and Output Controller Tag (

Tags on page 58

), you will see that module-defined data types and tags

have been automatically created. After you save and download the
configuration, these tags allow you to access the Input and Output data of
the drive using the controller’s ladder logic.
