The following table identifies which parameters are defined when
you select RIO communications.

Is Channel A

defined for

RIO?

Is Channel B

defined for

RIO?

Then, these parameters are

defined:

And these parameters are not

defined:

Yes

No

322–329, 351–358, 425, 426,
427

330–337, 359–366, 427,
430–431

No

Yes

330–337, 359–366, 430, 431,
432

322–329, 351–358, 425–427

Yes

Yes

322–337, 351–366, 425, 426,
427

None

No

No

None

322–337, 351–366, 425–431

Parameter 427 is defined only if channel A is set up for RIO

scanner mode.

Parameter 432 is defined only if channel B is set up for RIO

scanner mode.

Parameter 427 is defined only if the redundant DIP switch is set

and both channels have the same RIO adapter protocol and the same
rack size.

The drive requires that some data be continuously updated. This
data is transferred using the PLC controller’s I/O image table. This
data is transferred from the drive to the PLC Communications
Adapter Board every 1.5 milliseconds. The following table shows
the timing information for discrete data transfer from the PLC
Communications Adapter Board to the drive:

If you are transferring data at

this baud rate:

The fastest the transfer can

occur is:

57.6K

7.2 milliseconds

115.2K

3.6 milliseconds

230.4K

1.8 milliseconds

When you use discrete data transfer, you need to specify a rack size.
With the PLC Communications Adapter Board, you can specify a 1/4
rack, a 1/2 rack, a 3/4 rack, or a full rack. The first group number
associated with a rack is reserved for the block transfer function if it
is selected with the RIO protocol (you should select the RIO protocol
through DIP switches set up on the PLC Communications Adapter
Board).
