Rockwell Automation GV3000/SE AC Drive AutoMax Network Communication Board, M/N 2AX3000 - Manual (Page 50)

Drive Configuration 3-3
P.061 Network Connection Type
This parameter
selects one of two
AutoMax network
connection types. Parameter Range: 0 = Basic drive connection
1 = Full drive connection
Default Setting: 0
Parameter Type: Configurable
Refer also to parameters: N/A
Setting P.061 = 0 provides basic drive control from the AutoMax network. Only
essential drive data (reference, sequencing, basic tuning, and feedback data) are
transferred over the network. This allows a higher density network with moderate
functionality. Select the basic connection type if your application does not require a
complete configuration of the drive over the network.
Using the basic drive connection, you can control functions such as start/stop, reset,
reference, and basic tunable parameters such as accel, decel, minimum speed, and
maximum speed.
When basic drive connection is selected, the GV3000/SE drive occupies a single
network drop. This drop area contains 32 read registers and 32 write registers.
Setting P.061 = 1 provides full drive control from the AutoMax network. Any drive
data that has been assigned a network register is transferred over the network.
Select this connection type if your application must be able to configure the drive
over the network and have access to most parameters, operating variables, and
diagnostic information.
The large amount of data transferred using the full connection type requires that the
drive occupy multiple network drops, thus decreasing the potential number of
devices on the network. When full drive connection is selected, the GV3000/SE
drive will occupy three sequential network drops, beginning with the drop number
specified with P.060.
