parameters. The procedure to configure the Datalinks on the Module
Definition dialog box for the Input Data and Output Data is the same.
a. Click the button in the topmost blank row to display the
Parameter Properties dialog box for the corresponding Datalink.
b. From the Port field pull-down menu, choose the port of the device to
which this Datalink will be assigned (for this example, Port 0, the
PowerFlex 753 drive).
c. From the Parameter field pull-down menu for the selected device,
choose the parameter to which this Datalink will point (for this
example, drive parameter 370 - [Stop Mode A]).
d. Click OK to complete configuration of the Datalink.
The name of the parameter that this Datalink points to is now shown in
the row on the Module Definition dialog box.
e. Repeat steps 6a through 6d for each Datalink being configured.
7. Click OK on the Module Definition dialog box to save the drive and
option module configuration, and close the dialog box.
The drive’s New Module dialog box reappears.
IMPORTANT Always use the Datalink parameters in consecutive numerical order,
starting with the first parameter. (For example, use Parameters 01, 02,
and 03 to configure three Datalinks to write data and/or Parameters 17,
18, 19, 20, and 21 to configure five Datalinks to read data.) Otherwise,
the network I/O connection will be larger than necessary, which
needlessly increases controller response time and memory usage.
