Configure Drive Communication
There is no default communication configuration in the starting project file. You must enter the attributes for the drive-
status communication you want to monitor.
Enter the attributes for the following variables.
Table 1 - Communication Variables
The example in the table below uses the name [Axis_01] for the PTO motion building block, communicating through the
SERIALISOL plug-in module in slot 1, at a refresh rate of 100 ms interval.
Table 2 - Communication Variables Example
Configure Communication Attributes
Follow these steps to configure the commutation attributes.
