NETW CONNECT TYPE (P.910)

AutoMax Network Connection type. When NETW CONNECT TYPE is set to BASIC, only the most
essential drive data (sequencing, basic tuning, reference and feedback data) are transferred over the
network.

Parameter Range:

BASIC or FULL

Default Setting:

BASIC

Parameter Type:

Configurable

OIM Menu Path(s):

Network Communications

This allows a higher density network but affords only moderate functionality.
In this configuration, drop depth is 1. When NETW CONNECT TYPE is set to FULL, the entire set of
drive data that has been assigned a network register is transferred over the network. The high amount
of data transferred in the full connection type requires that the drive occupy multiple network drops, thus
decreasing the potential number of devices on the network. As of FlexPak 3000 regulator software
version 2.01, drop depth is 4 when NETW CONNECT TYPE is set to FULL.

NETW DROP NUMBER (P.900)

Network Drop Number. Selects the base drop number the network option board will respond to on the
network. NETW DROP NUMBER cannot be changed via the network.

Parameter Range:

1 to 55 if NETW CONNECT TYPE = BASIC
1 to 52 if NETW CONNECT TYPE = FULL

Default Setting:

1

Parameter Type:

Configurable

OIM Menu Path(s):

NETW CONNECT TYPE (P.910)

Note that when NETW CONNECT TYPE is set to FULL, the AutoMax Network Communication board
will occupy multiple network drops beginning at NETW DROP NUMBER. The number of drops occupied
(drop depth), affects the upper limit of NETW DROP NUMBER. See NETW CONNECT TYPE to
determine drop depth.

NETW OUT REG 1 SELECT (P.902)

Selects which parameter is to be monitored in drop_1, register 7. Select the parameter to monitor by
programming the parameter number. For example, setting this parameter equal to 588 will write the
value of output parameter FIELD DELTA to register 7.

Parameter Range:

-32768 to 32767

Default Setting:

0

Parameter Type:

Tuneable

OIM Menu Path(s):

Network Communications

NETW OUT REG 2 SELECT (P.903)

Selects which parameter is to be monitored in drop_1, register 8. Select the parameter to monitor by
programming the parameter number. For example, setting this parameter equal to 588 will write the
value of output parameter FIELD DELTA to register 8.

Parameter Range:

-32768 to 32767

Default Setting:

0

Parameter Type:
