• Parameter-configurable 32-bit Datalinks in the I/O to meet application

requirements (16 Datalinks to write data from the network to the drive,
and 16 Datalinks to read data from the drive to the network).

• Acyclic Messaging support.

• Master-Slave hierarchy that can be set up so that the Option Module and
PowerFlex 750-Series drive transmit data to and from a master on the
network.

• User-defined fault actions to determine how the Option Module and

connected drive respond to:

– I/O messaging communication disruptions (Comm Flt Action)

– Controllers in idle mode (Idle Flt Action)
– Acyclic Messaging

Safety Precautions Please read the following safety precautions carefully.

ATTENTION: Risk of injury or death exists. The PowerFlex drive may

contain high voltages that can cause injury or death. Remove all power
from the PowerFlex drive, and then verify power has been discharged
before installing or removing the Option Module.
ATTENTION: Risk of injury or equipment damage exists. Only personnel
familiar with drive and power products and the associated machinery
should plan or implement the installation, start up, configuration, and
subsequent maintenance of the drive using the Option Module. Failure to
comply may result in injury and/or equipment damage.
ATTENTION: Risk of equipment damage exists. The Option Module
contains ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) sensitive parts that can be damaged
if you do not follow ESD control procedures. Static control precautions are
required when handling the Option Module. If you are unfamiliar with
static control procedures, see Guarding Against Electrostatic Damage
(publication 8000-4.5.2).
ATTENTION: Risk of injury or equipment damage exists. If the Option
Module is transmitting control I/O to the drive, the drive may fault when
you reset the Option Module. Determine how your drive will respond
before resetting the module.
ATTENTION: Risk of injury or equipment damage exists. Host
Parameters 33 - [Comm Flt Action], and 34 - [Idle Flt Action] let you
determine the action of the Option Module and connected drive if I/O
communication is disrupted, the controller is idle, or Acyclic messaging for
drive control is disrupted. By default, these parameters fault the drive. You
can set these parameters so that the drive continues to run. Precautions
should be taken to ensure that the settings of these parameters do not
create a risk of injury or equipment damage. When commissioning the
drive, verify that your system responds correctly to various situations (for
example, a disconnected cable or a controller in idle state).
ATTENTION: Risk of injury or equipment damage exists. When a system is
configured for the first time, there may be unintended or incorrect machine
motion. Disconnect the motor from the machine or process during initial
system testing.
ATTENTION: Risk of injury or equipment damage exists. The examples in
this publication are intended solely for purposes of example. There are
many variables and requirements with any application. Rockwell
Automation, Inc. does not assume responsibility or liability (to include
intellectual property liability) for actual use of the examples shown in this
publication.

Chapter 2 Installing the Option Module

Connecting the Option The Option Module can be installed in the PowerFlex 750-Series Drive control
Module to the Drive pod in Port 4, 5 or 6. For details, see the Network Communication Option Card
Installation Instructions (publication 750COM-IN002), provided with the
Option Module. See Figure 3 for an example of the Option Module installed in
the drive.

IMPORTANT Remove power from the drive before installing the Option Module in the
drive control pod.

IMPORTANT Insert Option module into port 4, 5 or 6 and make sure to tighten the
module screws to the drive control pod to properly ground the module to
the drive. Torque both screws to 0.45…0.67 N•m (4.0…6.0 lb•in). Also,
verify that the black insulator band is installed around the module screw
closest to the Profibus female connector. The insulator prevents
inadvertent electrical contact with the male end of the Profibus
connector when connected.

Connecting the Option ATTENTION: Risk of injury or death exists. The PowerFlex drive may
Module to the Network contain high voltages that can cause injury or death. Remove power from
the drive, and then verify power has been discharged before connecting the
Option Module to the network.

1. Remove power from the drive.

2. Remove the drive cover and lift up the drive HIM bezel to its open
position to access the drive control pod.
3. Use static control precautions.
4. Route the Profibus cable through the bottom of the PowerFlex drive.
5. Connect a Profibus connector to the cable.
Note: Profibus connectors are available from a variety of sources and in
various sizes. As such, there may be mechanical limitations that prohibit
the use of some connectors. Phoenix SUBCON-PLUS-PROFIB/AX/SC
(Part # 2744380) or Siemens 6GK1500-0FC00 or Brad
BM5G60PP4Mxxx are recommended for use with PowerFlex 750 drives.

Chapter 2 Installing the Option Module

Network Termination The first and last node on a Profibus DP Network segment should be terminated.

Rockwell Automation recommends that the user select one of the

aforementioned Profibus connectors with built-in termination.

Applying Power ATTENTION: Risk of equipment damage, injury, or death exists.

Unpredictable operation may occur if you fail to verify that parameter
settings are compatible with your application. Verify that settings are
compatible with your application before applying power to the drive.

Apply power to the drive. The Option Module receives its power from the drive.
When you apply power to the Option Module for the first time, its topmost
“PORT” status indicator should be steady green or flashing green after
initialization. If it is red, there is a problem. See Chapter 7, Troubleshooting.

Start-Up Status Indications

The drive STS (status) indicator can be viewed on front of the drive after power
has been applied. The Option Module status indicators can be viewed with the
drive cover open or removed (Figure 7).

Chapter 2 Installing the Option Module

Configuring/Verifying Key Drive Parameters

The PowerFlex 750-Series drive can be separately configured for the control and
Reference functions in various combinations. For example, you could set the
drive to receive control commands from a peripheral or terminal block, with the
Reference coming from the network. You could also set the drive to receive its
control from the network with the Reference coming from another peripheral or
terminal block. Or you could set the drive to receive both its control and
Reference from the network.

The following steps in this section assume that the drive will receive the Logic
Command and Reference from the network.

1. Use drive Parameter 545 - [Speed Ref A Sel] to set the drive speed
reference source:
A. Set the Port field to “0” as shown in Figure 8.

Figure 8 - Drive Parameter 545 - [Spd Ref A Sel] Setup Screen

B. Set the Parameter field to point to the port (slot) in which the Option
Module is installed (for example, Port 4 Reference). The number “874”
in the Parameter field of the example screen above is the parameter in
the drive that identifies the port.
2. Verify that drive Parameter 930 - [Speed Ref Source] is reporting that the
source of the Reference to the drive (Port 0) is the port in which the
Option Module is installed (for example, Port 4 Reference). This ensures
that any Reference commanded from the network can be monitored by
using drive Parameter 002 - [Commanded SpdRef ]. If a problem occurs,
this verification step provides the diagnostic capability to determine
whether the drive/Option Module or the network is the cause.
3. If hard-wired discrete digital inputs are not used to control the drive, verify
that all unused digital input drive parameters are set to "0" (Not Used).

Configuration Tools The Option Module stores parameters and other information in its own
non-volatile memory. You must, therefore, access the Option Module to view and
edit its parameters. The following tools can be used to access the Option Module
parameters:

Using the PowerFlex If your drive has an enhanced PowerFlex 20-HIM-A6 or 20-HIM-C6S HIM, it
20-HIM-A6/-C6S HIM to can be used to access parameters in the Option Module.

Access Parameters 1. Display the Status screen, which is shown on HIM power up.

2. Use the or key to scroll to the Port in which the Option

Module is installed.
3. Press the PAR# soft key to display the Jump to Param # entry pop-up box.
4. Use the numeric keys to enter the desired parameter number, or use the ▲

20-HIM-UM001.

Setting the Node Address If the Option Module Node Address switches (Figure 3) are set to “00”
(Program) the value of Device Parameter 05 - [Net Addr Cfg] determines the
node address. When in any other combination of positions, the Node Address
switches determine the node address.

1. Set the value of Device Parameter 05 - [Net Addr Cfg] to a unique node
address.

Setting a Master-Slave This procedure is only required if Datalinks are used to write or read data of the
Hierarchy (Optional) drive or its connected peripherals. A hierarchy determines the type of device with
which the Option Module exchanges data. In a master slave hierarchy, the Option
Module exchanges data with a Profibus master such as ProSoft's
MVI56-PDPMV1 Profibus DP scanner. This scanner integrates, as a third party
module, in a ControlLogix PLC backplane to allow Profibus DP
communications.

24 Rockwell Automation Publication 750COM-UM004A-EN-P - August 2011

 Configuring the Option Module Chapter 3

Enabling Datalinks To Write Data

The controller output image (controller outputs-to-drive) can have anywhere

from 0 to 16 additional 32-bit parameters (Datalinks). They are configured using
Host Parameters 01 - [DL From Net 01] through Parameter 16 - [DL From
Net 16]. The data type of a Datalink can be either real or a 32 bit integer. The
number of Datalinks actively used is controlled by the connection size configured
in the controller. See the controller example sections in Chapter 4 for more
information on setting the connection size.

IMPORTANT Always use the Datalink parameters in consecutive numerical order,

starting with the first parameter. For example, use Host Parameters 01,
02, and 03 to configure three Datalinks to write data. Otherwise, the
network I/O connection will be larger than necessary, which needlessly
increases controller response time and memory usage.

When using a ControlLogix controller and the Generic Profile, configure the
Datalink parameters now as described in this section.

Host Parameters 01 - [DL From Net 01] through 16 - [DL From Net 16]
configure which parameters in the drive, Option Module, or any other connected
peripheral receive the values from the network. The PowerFlex 20-HIM-A6 or
20-HIM-C6S HIM, DriveExplorer software, or DriveExecutive software can be
used to select the drive or peripheral by port number and the parameter by name.
As an alternate method, the parameter value can be set manually by number using
this formula:
From Net Parameter Value = (10000 * port number) + (Destination Parameter Number)

For example, suppose you want to use Host Parameter 01 - [DL From Net 01] to
write to Parameter 03 of an optional encoder module plugged into drive Port 5.
Using the formula, the value for Host Parameter 01 - [DL From Net 01] would
be (10000 * 5) + (3) = 50003.

The following steps are required to enable Datalinks to write data:

1. Set the values of only the required number of contiguous

controller-to-drive Datalinks needed to write data to the drive and that are
to be included in the network I/O connection.
2. Reset the Option Module; see Resetting the Option Module on page 28.
3. Since the Logic Command and Reference is always used in the Option
Module, configure the parameters in the drive to accept the Logic
Command and Reference from the Option Module. When using the
controller for speed reference via the Option Module, set two fields in
drive Parameter 545 - [Speed Ref A Sel]:
a. Set the Port field for the drive (for example, 0 - PowerFlex 755).

Rockwell Automation Publication 750COM-UM004A-EN-P - August 2011 25

Chapter 3 Configuring the Option Module

b. Set the Parameter field to identify the port in which the Option
Module is installed (for this example, Port 4 Reference). Also, verify
that the mask parameters in the drive (for example, Parameter 324 -
[Logic Mask]) are configured to receive the desired logic from the
Option Module. See the drive documentation for details.

After the above steps are complete, the Option Module is ready to receive
input data and transfer status data to the Profibus master (controller).
Next, configure the controller to recognize and transmit I/O to the
Option Module. Refer to Chapter 4, Configuring the Profibus Master.

Enabling Datalinks To Read Data

The controller input image (drive-to-controller inputs) can have 0 to 16

additional 32-bit parameters (Datalinks). They are configured using Host
Parameters 17 - [DL To Net 01] through 32 - [DL To Net 16]. The number of
Datalinks actively used is controlled by the connection size in the controller. See
the controller example sections in Chapter 4 for more information on setting the
connection size.

IMPORTANT Always use the Datalink parameters in consecutive numerical order,

starting with the first parameter. For example, use Host 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.

When using a ControlLogix controller and the Generic Profile, configure the
Datalink parameters now as described in this section.

Host Parameters 17 - [DL To Net 01] through 32 - [DL To Net 16] configure
which parameters in the drive, Option Module, or any other connected
peripheral send the values to the network. The PowerFlex 20-HIM-A6 or
20-HIM-C6S HIM, DriveExplorer software, or DriveExecutive software can be
used to select the drive or peripheral by port number and the parameter by name.
As an alternate method, the parameter value can be set manually by number using
this formula:
To Net Parameter Value = (10000 * Port Number) + (Origination Parameter Number)

For example, suppose you want to use Host Parameter 17 - [DL To Net 01] to
read Parameter 2 of an optional I/O module plugged into drive Port 6. Using the
formula, the value for Host Parameter 17 - [DL To Net 01] would be (10000 *
6)+ (2) = 60002.

The following steps are required to enable Datalinks to read data:

1. Set the values of only the required number of contiguous

drive-to-controller Datalinks needed to read data from the drive and that
are to be included in the network I/O connection.

26 Rockwell Automation Publication 750COM-UM004A-EN-P - August 2011

 Configuring the Option Module Chapter 3

2. Reset the Option Module; see Resetting the Option Module on page 28.

The Option Module is configured to send output data to the master (controller).
You must now configure the controller to recognize and transmit I/O to the
Option Module. Refer to Chapter 4, Configuring the Profibus Master.

Setting a Fault Action By default, when communications are disrupted (for example, a cable is
disconnected) or the master is idle, the drive responds by faulting if it is using I/O
from the network. You can configure a different response to:
• Disrupted I/O communication by using Host Parameter 33 - [Comm Flt
Action].
• An idle controller by using Host Parameter 34 - [Idle Flt Action].

ATTENTION: Risk of injury or equipment damage exists. Host

Parameters 33 - [Comm Flt Action], and 34 - [Idle Flt Action] let you
determine the action of the Option Module and connected drive if
communications are disrupted or the master is idle. By default, these
parameters fault the drive. You may configure these parameters so that the
drive continues to run, however, precautions should be taken to ensure that
the settings of these parameters do not create a risk of injury or equipment
damage. When commissioning the drive, verify that your system responds
correctly to various situations (for example, a disconnected network cable
or controller in idle state).

Changing the Fault Action

Set the values of Host Parameters 33 - [Comm Flt Action] and 34 - [Idle Flt
Action] to the desired responses:
Value Action Description
0 Fault The drive is faulted and stopped (default).
1 Stop The drive is stopped, but not faulted.
2 Zero Data The drive is sent 0 for output data after a communications disruption. This
does not command a stop.
3 Hold Last The drive continues in its present state after a communications disruption.
4 Send Flt Cfg The drive is sent the data that you set in the fault configuration parameters
(Host Parameter 37- [Flt Cfg Logic] through 54 - [Flt Cfg DL16]).

Setting the Fault Configuration Parameters

When setting Host Parameters 33 - [Comm Flt Action] and 34 - [Idle Flt
Action] to the “Send Flt Cfg,” the values in the following parameters are sent to
the drive after a communications fault and/or idle fault occurs. You must set
these parameters to values required by your application.
Option Module Host Parameter Description
Parameter 37 - [Flt Cfg Logic] A 32-bit value sent to the drive for Logic Command.
Parameter 38 - [Flt Cfg Ref] A 32-bit REAL (floating point) value sent to the drive for
Reference.
Parameter 39 - [Flt Cfg DL 01] A 32-bit integer value sent to the drive for a Datalink. If the
through destination of the Datalink is a REAL (floating point)
Parameter 54 - [Flt Cfg DL 16] parameter, you must convert the desired value to the
binary representation of the REAL value. (An internet
search of “hex to float” provides a link to a tool to do this
conversion.)

Changes to these parameters take effect immediately. A reset is not required.

Resetting the Option Changes to switch settings and some Option Module parameters require you to
Module reset the Option Module before the new settings take effect. You can reset the
Option Module by power cycling the drive or by using Device Parameter 07 -
[Reset Module].

ATTENTION: Risk of injury or equipment damage exists. If the Option

Module is transmitting control I/O to the drive, the drive may fault when
you reset the Option Module. Determine how your drive will respond
before resetting the Option Module.

Set Device Parameter 07 - [Reset Module] to “1” (Reset Module).

When you enter “2” (Set Defaults), the Option Module will set ALL of its Device
and Host parameters to their factory default values. (This is the same as pressing
the ALL soft key when using the MEMORY folder method described in
Restoring Option Module Parameters to Factory Defaults on page 29). After
performing a Set Defaults, you must enter “1” (Reset Module) or power cycle the
drive so that the new values take effect. Thereafter, this parameter will be restored
to a value of “0” (Ready).

IMPORTANT When performing a Set Defaults, the drive may detect a conflict and then
not allow this function to occur. If this happens, first resolve the conflict
and then repeat Set Defaults action.

TIP If your application allows, you can also reset the Option Module by
cycling power to the drive (resetting the drive) or by using the HIM’s
Reset Device function located in the drive’s DIAGNOSTIC folder.

Restoring Option Module As an alternate method, you can restore the Option Module parameters using a
Parameters to Factory MEMORY folder menu item instead of using Device Parameter 07 - [Reset
Module] described in Resetting the Option Module on page 28. The MEMORY
Defaults folder method provides two ways to restore the Option Module Device and Host
parameters:
• ALL—Restores ALL Option Module Device and Host parameters to their
factory default values.
• MOST—Restores MOST Option Module Device and Host parameters—
except Device Parameter 05 - [Net Addr Cfg] which is used for network
setup.

Chapter 4 Configuring the Profibus Master

GSD Installation ProSoft Configuration Builder (PCB) uses Profibus slave definition files (GSD
files) to obtain basic configuration information about the Profibus slaves you add
to the network. The GSD configuration files identify the slave's capabilities so
that the MVI56-PDPMV1 module can communicate with it correctly.

For example: The 20-750-PBUS GSD file is named "20750D3B.gsd". It is the

GSD file for the drive’s 20-750-PBUS Option Module and can be downloaded
from http://www.ab.com/support/abdrives/webupdate. The configuration tool
only requires the 20-750-PBUS GSD file for the 20-750-PBUS Option Module
to be registered one time in this tool for configuring networks with this Option
Module.

Follow these steps to install the GSD file or files for your slave module or
modules.

1. Open the Tools menu, and choose Install new GS*-file... (Figure 21).

Figure 21 - Installing the GSD File

2. This action opens a dialog box that allows you to browse for the location of
the GSD (Figure 22).

 Configuring the Profibus Master Chapter 4

3. Choose the file to install, and then click Open. If the file already exists in
the configuration file path, you will be prompted to overwrite the file.
4. You will be prompted to associate the GSD configuration file with a
bitmap image of the slave (Figure 23).

Figure 23 - Bitmap Image Prompt

5. Use the File/Open dialog box to browse for the location of the image file to
use. If you have no specific bitmap file, you may Cancel the bitmap upload,
and a generic slave icon will be used in the Bus Configuration window for
this slave (Figure 24). Select the image files provided with GSD file for the
20-750-PBUS Option Module.

4. In the treeview, click the plus sign [+] to expand the slave you added. This
action opens a list of device configuration values. Figure 27 shows the
possible input/output configuration values for a 20-750-PBUS Slave. The
Datalinks (1-16) allow the assignment of configured drive parameters to
be included in the Profibus DP I/O data frames that are transferred
between the ControlLogix PLC and the PowerFlex 750-Series drive.

5. Drag the input and output parameters to the Slot Location Grid
(Subscriber List) below the Bus Configuration window. This view displays
the slot number, configuration data, and starting input and output
addresses that will be assigned in the PLC memory for the
MVI56-PDPMV1 module. The MVI56-PDPMV1 Master uses this
information to identify and communicate with individual slaves on the
network (Figure 28).

Figure 28 - Inserting Ctrl/Stat & Ref/Fdbk (Device Configuration) into Slot 1

For this example, we will configure words of Ctrl/Stat & Ref/Fdbk. These
input and output 32-bit values are assigned to addresses within the
MVI56-PDPMV1 module's internal database. For each new slave added to
the Profibus network, PCB automatically converts the input/output byte
addresses to input and output image addresses for the tag database in the
ControlLogix processor.
6. Likewise add as many modules as required. All the modules from Ctrl/Stat
& Ref/Fdbk to Datalink16 can be added (Figure 29).

8. PCB automatically assigns a Profibus address to each new slave. The

address assignment begins at address 3, and is incremented by 1 for each
new slave added to the network. You can change the address in the
Common tab of the Slave properties dialog box. The address should match
the PowerFlex 750-Series drive’s Profibus address assigned for the specific
drive you are configuring. PCB will not allow you to assign a Profibus
address that is already in use by another module on this network
(Figure 31).

intellectual property liability) for actual use of the examples shown in this
publication.

About I/O Messaging Profibus DPV0 or I/O messaging is used to transfer the data which controls the
PowerFlex drive and its Reference. I/O messaging can also be used to transfer data
to and from Datalinks which are mapped to parameters in the PowerFlex
750-Series drives.

The Option Module includes the Logic Command, Logic Status, Reference, and
Feedback (32-bit words) in the controller’s I/O image. This basic I/O must
always be configured by the Profibus configuration tool to the 20-750-PBUS
Option Module, enabling the ability to control and monitor the PowerFlex
750-Series drive.

Additional I/O if needed, can be configured using up to 16 Datalinks to write

data and/or up to 16 Datalinks to read data. When using any combination of
these Datalinks, one 32-bit word for each Datalink will be added to the basic I/O
Input Size and/or Output Size.

Chapter 3, Configuring the Option Module, and Chapter 4, Configuring the

Profibus Master discuss how to configure the Option Module and controller on
the network for the required I/O.

Rockwell Automation Publication 750COM-UM004A-EN-P - August 2011 47

Chapter 5 Using the I/O

Understanding the I/O The terms input and output are defined from the controller’s point of view.
Image Therefore, output I/O is data that is produced by the controller and consumed by
the Option Module. Input I/O is status data that is produced by the Option
Module and consumed as input by the controller. The I/O image will vary based
on how many of the drive’s 32-bit Datalinks (Host DL From Net 01-16 and Host
DL To Net 01-16) are used.

Profibus Master Image

The I/O image can be configured based upon the number of Datalinks required
by the user. Table 3 shows the I/O image when using all of the 32-Bit Datalinks.

Table 3 - Profibus Master I/O Image for PowerFlex 750-Series Drives (32-bit Logic

Using Logic The Logic Command is a 32-bit word of control data produced by the controller
Command/Status and consumed by the Option Module. The Logic Status is a 32-bit word of status
data produced by the Option Module and consumed by the controller.
• Logic Command word is always the first 32-bit word in the output image.
• Logic Status word is always the first 32-bit word in the input image.

This manual contains the bit definitions for compatible products available at the
time of publication in Appendix C, Logic Command/Status Words: PowerFlex
750-Series Drives.

48 Rockwell Automation Publication 750COM-UM004A-EN-P - August 2011

 Using the I/O Chapter 5

Using Reference/Feedback The Reference is a 32-bit REAL (floating point) piece of control data produced by
the controller and consumed by the Option Module. The Feedback is a 32-bit
REAL (floating point) piece of status data produced by the Option Module and
consumed by the controller.
• Reference word is always the second 32-bit word in the output image.
• Feedback word is always the second 32-bit word in the input image.

The Reference and Feedback 32-bit REAL value represents drive speed. The
scaling for the speed Reference and Feedback are dependent on drive Parameter
300 - [Speed Units]. For example, if Parameter 300 is set to Hz, a 32- bit REAL
Reference value of "30.0" would equal a Reference of 30.0 Hz. If Parameter 300 is
set to RPM, a 32- bit REAL Reference value of "1020.5" would equal a Reference
of 1020.5 RPM. Note that the commanded maximum speed can never exceed the
value of drive Parameter 520 - [Max Fwd Speed]. Table 4 shows example
References and their results for a PowerFlex 750-Series drive that has its:
• Parameter 300 - [Speed Units] set to Hz.
• Parameter 37 - [Maximum Freq] set to130 Hz.
• Parameter 520 - [Max Fwd Speed] set to 60 Hz.

When Parameter 300 - [Speed Units] is set to RPM, the other parameters are also
in RPM.

Table 4 - PowerFlex 750-Series Drive Example Speed Reference/Feedback Scaling

Network Reference Value Speed Command Output Speed Network Feedback
Value (2) Value
130.0 130 Hz 60 Hz (3) 60.0
65.0 65 Hz 60 Hz (3) 60.0
32.5 32.5 Hz 32.5 Hz 32.5
0.0 0 Hz 0 Hz 0.0
-32.5 (1) 32.5 Hz 32.5 Hz 32.5
(1) The effects of values less than 0.0 depend on whether the PowerFlex 750 - Series drive uses a bipolar or
unipolar direction mode. See the drive documentation for details.
(2) For this example, drive parameter 300 - [Speed Units] is set to Hz.
(3) The drive runs at 60 Hz instead of 130 Hz or 65 Hz because drive Parameter 520 - [Max Fwd Speed] sets 60 Hz
as the maximum speed.

Using Datalinks A Datalink is a mechanism used by PowerFlex drives to transfer data to and from
the controller. Datalinks allow a drive parameter value to be read or written to
without using a Profibus DPV1 Service. When enabled, each Datalink occupies
one 32-bit word in a ControlLogix controller, providing a mirror of the
PowerFlex 750-Series drive data value that the Datalinked parameter represents.

The following rules apply when using PowerFlex 750-Series drive Datalinks:

• The target of a Datalink can be any Host parameter, including those of a

peripheral. For example, drive parameter 535 - [Accel Time 1] can be the
target of any or all Option Modules installed in the drive.

Rockwell Automation Publication 750COM-UM004A-EN-P - August 2011 49

Chapter 5 Using the I/O

• The data passed through the Datalink mechanism is determined by the

settings of Host Parameters 01...16 - [DL From Net 01-16] and Host
Parameters 17...32 - [DL To Net 01-16].

IMPORTANT A reset is always required after configuring Datalinks so that the

changes take effect.

• When an I/O connection that includes Datalinks is active, those Datalinks

being used are locked and cannot be changed until that I/O connection
becomes idle or inactive.

• When you use a Datalink to change a value, the value is NOT written to
the Non-Volatile Storage (NVS). The value is stored in volatile memory
and lost when the drive loses power. Thus, use Datalinks when you need to
change a value of a parameter frequently.

Datalinks for PowerFlex 750-Series peripherals (embedded EtherNet/IP adapter

and Option Modules such as an encoder or a communication module) are locked
when the peripheral has an I/O communication with a controller. When a
controller has an I/O communication to the drive, the drive does not allow a reset
to defaults, configuration download or anything else that could change the
makeup of the I/O communication in a running system. The I/O
communication with the controller must first be disabled to allow changes to the
respective Datalinks.

Depending on the controller being used, the I/O connection can be disabled by:
• Putting the controller in Program mode
• Disconnecting the drive from the network
• Placing the master in idle mode

DeviceLogix Datalinks are also locked while the DeviceLogix program is

running. The DeviceLogix program must first be disabled to allow changes to the
Datalinks. Set DeviceLogix parameter 53 - [DLX Operation] to “DisableLogic”
to disable the logic (the parameter value will then change to “LogicDisabld”).

TIP A COP (Copy) instruction or a UDDT is needed—for REAL parameters,

speed Reference, and speed Feedback only—to copy the DINT data into
a REAL word for input data conversion. For output data conversion, a COP
(Copy) instruction or UDDT is needed—for REAL parameters, speed
Reference, and speed Feedback only—to copy the REAL data into a DINT
word. To determine whether a parameter is a 32-bit integer (DINT) or a
REAL data type, see the Data Type column in the chapter containing
parameters in the PowerFlex 750-Series AC Drives Programming Manual
(publication 750-PM001).

ATTENTION: Risk of equipment damage exists. If Acyclic Messages are
programmed to write parameter data to Non-Volatile Storage (NVS)
frequently, the NVS will quickly exceed its life cycle and cause the drive to
malfunction. Do not create a program that frequently uses Acyclic
Messages to write parameter data to NVS. Datalinks do not write to NVS
and should be used for frequently changed parameters.

About Acyclic Messaging Acyclic Messaging is used to transfer data to the PowerFlex 750-Series drive
through the 20-750-PBUS Option Module and other connected peripherals that
do not require continuous updates. Acyclic messaging, or DPV1 messaging in the
case of the 20-750-PBUS Option Module is also used to configure and monitor a
drive's parameters on a Profibus network. Drive parameters as well as peripheral
Host and Device parameters can be accessed via acyclic messaging for a PowerFlex
750-Series drive. For a full list of drive parameters, refer to the Powerflex
750-Series AC Drives Programming Manual (publication 750-PM001) and for a
list of 20-750-PBUS Option Module Host and Device Parameters, see Appendix
B. To use acyclic messaging's read and write services, you need the values of the
slot and index to which a parameter is associated. Value ranges for slot & index
are shown in Table 5.

(1) Parameters for Profibus identification and maintenance records.

For accessing any parameter within a drive, a general mechanism is used to map
the parameter with a Profibus slot and index number.

Every drive device port has a base slot number which supports 256 indices in a
slot. These slot and index combinations are mapped to various drive and Option
Module parameters through the 20-750-PBUS Option Module. The general
formula to arrive at slot and index numbers for a specific parameter is:

Slot Number = Base Slot Number + Quotient of (parameter number / 256)

Index Number = Remainder of (parameter number / 256)

54 Rockwell Automation Publication 750COM-UM004A-EN-P - August 2011

 Acyclic Messaging Chapter 6

Due to Profibus standard requirements of various identification and maintenance

functions, there is an exception to the rule for assigning Host drive parameters.
When accessing drive parameters, the slot number will start at 0x01. The formula
for Host drive parameter is:

Slot Number = Base Slot Number + Quotient of (parameter number / 256) + 1

This is illustrated in the following examples:

Example 1: To access drive parameter 25 [Motor NP Volts], refer to Table 5 to

find the slot number associated with Port 0, which can be used to access the first
256 parameters. To access parameters 257 - 512, the slot number will increment
by 1, and so on.

For the Drive (Port 0), the base slot number is 0x00 + 1 (per the exception).
Therefore, the slot number can be calculated from the general formula as:

Slot Number = 0x00 + Quotient of (25 / 256) + 1 (for Drive Host

Parameters) = 0x01

The index number will be the remainder of the Drive Parameter number divided
by 256, as shown in this formula:

Index Number = Remainder of (25 / 256) = 25

Example 2: To access Device Parameter 5 - [Net Addr Cfg] in the Option

Module, when the Option Module is installed in Port 4 of the drive, refer to
Table 5 to find the Slot Number associated with Port 4.

For Port 4 Device parameters, the base slot number is 0x50. Therefore, the slot
number can be calculated from the general formula as:

Slot Number = 0x50 + Quotient of (5 / 256) = 0x50

The index number will be the remainder of the Port 4 Device Parameter number
divided by 256, as shown in this formula:

Index Number = Remainder of (5 / 256) = 5

Example 3: To access Host Parameter 37 - [Flt Cfg Logic] in the Option

Module, when the Option Module is installed in Port 4 of the drive, refer to
Table 5 to find the Slot Number associated with Port 4 Host Parameters.

For Port 4 Host parameters, the base slot number is 0xD0. Therefore, the slot
number can be calculated from the general formula as:

Slot Number = 0xD0 + Quotient of (37 / 256) = 0xD0

Rockwell Automation Publication 750COM-UM004A-EN-P - August 2011 55

Chapter 6 Acyclic Messaging

The index number will be the remainder of the Port 4 Host Parameter number
divided by 256, as shown in this formula:

Index Number = Remainder of (37 / 256) = 37

Acyclic Messaging for The 20-750-PBUS PowerFlex 750-Series drives Option Module provides the
DPV1 Class 1 following Profibus DPV1 Class 1 Acyclic Services:

READ: This service is used to read a PowerFlex 750-Series drive or Option

Module’s parameter.

WRITE: This service is used to modify a PowerFlex 750-Series drive or Option

Module’s parameter.

Example Messaging Examples of using Profibus DPV1 Class 1, Acyclic Messaging to read and write a
drive parameter is described in this section.

Read Example for Drive Parameter 1 - [Output Frequency]

To read the drive Parameter 1 - [Output Frequency] from the PowerFlex

750-Series drive using a Class 1 Acyclic Read Service, setup a ControlLogix
controller (with a MVI56-PDPMV1 Profibus Master). After the master is setup,
the ControlLogix tags must be populated with the values to read the parameter as
shown in Figure 41.

Drive Parameter 1 - [Output Frequency]:

• Slot Number = 0x00 + Quotient of (1 / 256) + 1= 1
• Index Number = Remainder of (1 / 256) = 1
• Length in bytes of the value of the parameter (32 bit floating point value) /
8=4

To test the Read service, you may manually enter the values as shown below into
the MVI56-PDPMV1 controller scoped tags where a ProSoft MVI56-PDPMV1
Profibus master module is installed in the backplane of the ControlLogix rack.
• MVI56PDPMV1.Mailbox.AcyclicRead.Out.SlotNumber = 1
• MVI56PDPMV1.Mailbox.AcyclicRead.Out.SlaveAddress = 3
• MVI56PDPMV1.Mailbox.AcyclicRead.Out.Length = 4
• MVI56PDPMV1.Mailbox.AcyclicRead.Out.Index = 1

Next, manually enter a value of '1' into the

MVI56PDPMV1.MailboxCommand.AcyclicRead tag, to send the message.

 Acyclic Messaging Chapter 6

Figure 41 - Acyclic Class 1 Read for Parameter 1 - [Output Frequency]

When the message response returns successfully, the data for the Output
Frequency parameter will be placed in the tags
MVI56PDPMV1.Mailbox.AcyclicRead.In.Data[] byte array. In the PLC
program, the return message data may be copied to a locally configured program
tag, and converted by correctly assigning the data type for the Local tag to which
the data returned from the read request matches. In the case of drive Parameter 1
- [Output Frequency] as in this example, the local tag's data type should be a
floating point or a "REAL" data type.

Write Example for Drive Parameter 520 - [Max Fwd Speed]

To write the Parameter 520 - [Max Fwd Speed] to the PowerFlex 750-Series drive
using a Class 1 Acyclic Write Service, setup a ControlLogix controller (with a
MVI56-PDPMV1 Profibus Master). After the master is setup, the ControlLogix
tags must be populated with the correct slot and index addressing values to write
the parameter as shown in Figure 44.

Drive Parameter 520 - [Max Fwd Speed]:

• Slot No. = 0x00 + Quotient of (520 / 256) + 1 = 3
• Index No. = Remainder of (520 / 256) = 8
• Length in bytes of the value of the Parameter (32 bit floating point value) /
8=4

58 Rockwell Automation Publication 750COM-UM004A-EN-P - August 2011

 Acyclic Messaging Chapter 6

To test the Write Service, you may manually enter the values as shown below into
the MVI56-PDPMV1 controller scoped tags where a ProSoft MVI56-PDPMV1
Profibus master module has been installed in the backplane of the ControlLogix
rack.
• MVI56PDPMV1.Mailbox.AcyclicWrite.Out.SlotNumber = 3
• MVI56PDPMV1.Mailbox.AcyclicWrite.Out.SlaveAddress = 3
• MVI56PDPMV1.Mailbox.AcyclicWrite.Out.Length = 4
• MVI56PDPMV1.Mailbox.AcyclicWrite.Out.Index = 8

The data bytes to be written can be entered in the

MVI56PDPMV1.Mailbox.AcyclicWrite.Out.Data[] array, or the data may be
copied via ladder logic and a locally configured program tag which represents the
correct data type, for the data value, to be written to drive Parameter 520. In this
case the value would be a floating point or "REAL" data type. The value shown in
Figure 44, indicates a value of 60.00 Hz.

Figure 44 - Acyclic Class 1 Write for Parameter 520 - [Max Fwd Speed]

To manually trigger the message to be sent, enter a value of '1' into the
MVI56PDPMV1.MailboxCommand.AcyclicWrite tag.

The message response status indicates success, when the data in the
"MVI56PDPMV1.Mailbox.AcyclicWrite.In.ErrorDecode" tag is a value of 0x00.
Note that any non-zero value indicates an error has occurred.

Viewing and Clearing The Option Module has an event queue to record significant events that occur in
Events the operation of the module. When such an event occurs, an entry consisting of
the event’s numeric code and a timestamp is put into the event queue. You can
view the event queue using the PowerFlex 20-HIM-A6/-C6S HIM,
DriveExplorer (6.01 or later) software, or DriveExecutive (5.01 or later) software.
For details on viewing and clearing events using the HIM, refer to the PowerFlex
20-HIM-A6/-C6S HIM (Human Interface Module) User Manual (publication
20HIM-UM001).

The event queue can contain up to 32 entries, which are stored in EEPROM
Memory on the Option Module — making the event queue non-volatile.
Eventually the event queue will become full, since its contents are retained
through Option Module power cycles and resets. At that point, a new entry
replaces the oldest entry. Only an event queue clear operation or the corruption
of the EEPROM group containing the event queue will clear the event queue
contents. In the latter case, the Option Module will not generate a fault to
indicate that the event queue was corrupted.

Resetting the Option Module to defaults has no effect on the event queue, other
than to log a Code 58 “Module Defaulted” event.

Many events in the event queue occur under normal operation. If you encounter
unexpected communications problems, the events may help you or Allen-Bradley
personnel troubleshoot the problem. The following events may appear in the
event queue.

When performing a Set Defaults, the drive may
detect a conflict. If this occurs, the drive will not
allow a Set Defaults action. You must resolve the
conflict before attempting a Set Defaults action for
the Option Module.

ATTENTION: Risk of injury or equipment damage exists. If the Option

Module is transmitting I/O that controls the drive, the drive may fault when
you reset the Option Module. Determine how your drive will respond
before resetting the Option Module.

 Glossary

Acyclic Messaging Profibus DPV1 acyclic messages are used to transfer data that does not require
continuous updates. Typically the read and write services used for acyclic
messaging are used to configure, monitor, and diagnose devices over the Profibus
network.

ControlFLASH An Allen-Bradley software tool that lets users electronically update firmware on
printed circuit boards.

Controller A controller, also called programmable logic controller, is a solid-state control

system that has a user-programmable memory for storage of instructions to
implement specific functions such as I/O control, logic, timing, counting, report
generation, communication, arithmetic, and data file manipulation. A controller
consists of a central processor, input/output interface, and memory. See also
Master.

Data Rate The data rate is the speed at which data is transferred on the Profibus network.
The available data rates depend on the type of cable and total cable length used
on the network:

Data Rate Maximum Cable Length

9.6 K 1000m
19.2 K 1000m
45.45 K 1000m
93.75 K 1000m
187.5 K 1000m
500 K 400m
1.5 M 200m
3M 100m
6M 100m
12 M 100m

Datalinks A Datalink is a type of pointer used by PowerFlex 750-Series drives to transfer

data to and from the controller. Datalinks allow specified parameter value(s) to
be accessed or changed. When active, each 32-bit Datalink in a PowerFlex
750-Series drive consumes 4 bytes in the input image table and/or 4 bytes in the
output image table of the controller.

DriveExplorer Software A tool for monitoring and configuring Allen-Bradley products and network
communication Option Modules. It can be run on computers running various
Microsoft Windows operating systems. DriveExplorer (version 6.xx or later) can
be used to configure this Option Module and PowerFlex drive. Information
about DriveExplorer software and a free lite version can be accessed at
http://www.ab.com/drives/driveexplorer.

DriveTools SP Software A software suite designed for running on various Microsoft Windows operating
systems. This software suite provides a family of tools, including DriveExecutive,
that you can use to program, monitor, control, troubleshoot, and maintain
Allen-Bradley products. DriveTools SP can be used with PowerFlex drives.

Glossary

Information about DriveTools SP can be accessed at

http://www.ab.com/drives/drivetools.

Fault Action A fault action determines how the Option Module and connected drive act when
a communications fault (for example, a cable is disconnected) occurs or when the
controller is switched out of run mode. The former uses a communications fault
action, and the latter uses an idle fault action.

Fault Configuration When communications are disrupted (for example, a cable is disconnected), the
Option Module and PowerFlex drive can respond with a user-defined fault
configuration. The user sets the data that is sent to the drive using specific fault
configuration parameters in the Option Module. When a fault action parameter
is set to use the fault configuration data and a fault occurs, the data from these
parameters is sent as the Logic Command, Reference, and/or Datalink(s).

Flash Update The process of updating firmware in a device. The Option Module can be flash
updated using various Allen-Bradley software tools. See Flash Updating the
Option Module on page 31.

GSD File A GSD (Generic Station Description) File is a device database text file used by
the network configuration tool to identify a Profibus module and its capabilities.
The file is normally registered in the Profibus configuration tool for a device, and
is supplied with the device via removable media or on the internet as a download.

HIM (Human Interface Module) A device that can be used to configure and control a drive. The PowerFlex
20-HIM-A6 or 20-HIM-C6S HIM can be used to configure PowerFlex
750-Series drives and their connected peripherals.

Hold Last When communication is disrupted (for example, a cable is disconnected), the
Option Module and PowerFlex drive can respond by holding last. Hold last
results in the drive receiving the last data received via the network connection
before the disruption. If the drive was running and using the Reference from the
Option Module, it will continue to run at the same Reference.

Idle Action An idle action determines how the Option Module and connected drive act
when the controller is switched out of run mode.

I/O Data I/O data, sometimes called "implicit messages" or "input/output," is time-critical
data such as a Logic Command and Reference. The terms "Input" (To Net) and
"Output" (From Net) are defined from the controller's point of view. Output is
produced by the controller and consumed by the Option Module. Input is
produced by the Option Module and consumed by the controller.

Logic Command/Logic Status The Logic Command is used to control the PowerFlex 750-Series drive (for
example, start, stop, direction). It consists of one 32-bit word of output to the
Option Module from the network. The definitions of the bits in this word are
shown in Appendix C.

The Logic Status is used to monitor the PowerFlex 750-Series drive (for example,
operating state, motor direction). It consists of one 32-bit word of input from the

80 Rockwell Automation Publication 750COM-UM004A-EN-P - August 2011

 Glossary

Option Module to the network. The definitions of the bits in this word are
shown in Appendix C.

Master-Slave Hierarchy An Option Module configured for a master-slave hierarchy exchanges data with
the master device. Usually, a network has one master which is the master device,
and all other devices (for example, drives with installed Profibus DPV1 Option
Modules) are slave devices.

On a network with multiple masters (called a multimaster hierarchy), each slave

device must have one specified master.

Master A master is a separate module (of a multi-module controller) or a built-in

component (of a single-module controller) that provides communication with
option modules connected to a network. See also Controller.

MVI56-PDPMV1 The MVI56-PDPMV1, Profibus DP-V1 Master Communication Module is a

Profibus communication interface for ControlLogix platform PLC’s. It is
developed under license from Rockwell Automation, and incorporates
proprietary backplane technology that enables data exchange with ControlLogix
processors. More information for the MVI56-PDPMV1ControlLogix module
can be found at http://www.prosoft-technology.com/content/view/full/8109.

Node Address A node address is a unique address identifier for a device assigned to a Profibus
network. A PROFIBUS network can have as many as 126 devices connected on
it , where each device on the network must have a unique node address between 0
and 126.

NVS (Non-Volatile Storage) NVS is the permanent memory of a device. Devices such as the Option Module
and drive store parameters and other information in NVS so that they are not lost
when the device loses power. NVS is sometimes called "EEPROM."

Option Module Devices such as drives, controllers, and computers usually require a network
communication Option Module to provide a communication interface between
them and a network such as Profibus. An Option Module reads data on the
network and transmits it to the connected device. It also reads data in the device
and transmits it to the network.

The 20-750-PBUS Profibus DPV1 Option Module connects PowerFlex

750-Series drives to a Profibus DPV0/DPV1 network. Option Modules are
sometimes also called "adapters," "cards," "embedded communication options," and
"peripherals." On PowerFlex 750-Series drives, Option Modules can also be I/O,
encoders, safety, etc.

Ping A message that is sent by a DPI product to its peripheral devices. Pings are used to
gather data about the product, including whether it can receive messages and if
they can log in for control.

PowerFlex 750-Series (Architecture Allen-Bradley PowerFlex 750-Series drives are part of the PowerFlex 7-Class
Class) Drives family of drives.

Glossary

Profibus Network A Profibus network uses RS485 to connect devices (for example, controllers,
drives, motor starters and other equipment in automation systems). A Profibus
network can support a maximum of 126 devices. Each device is assigned a unique
node address and transmits data on the network at the same data rate. A cable is
used to connect devices on the network. It contains the bus signal. Devices can be
connected to the network in a daisy chain connection.

ProSoft Configuration Builder ProSoft Configuration Builder (PCB) is used to configure MVI56-PDPMV1
(PCB) (Profibus DP-V1 Master Communication Module). The newest version of
ProSoft Configuration Builder is available from
http://www.prosoft-technology.com/content/view/full/10018.

Reference/Feedback The Reference is used to send a setpoint (for example, speed, frequency, torque)
to the drive. It consists of one 32-bit word of output to the Option Module from
the network.

Feedback is used to monitor the speed of the drive. It consists of one 32-bit word
of input from the Option Module to the network.

RSLogix 5000 RSLogix software is a tool for configuring and monitoring controllers to
communicate with connected devices. It is a 32-bit application that runs on
various Windows operating systems. Information about RSLogix software can be
found at http://www.software.rockwell.com/rslogix.

SI (Serial Interface) A next generation communication interface used by various Allen-Bradley drives,
such as PowerFlex 750-Series drives.

Status Indicators Status indicators are LEDs that are used to report the status of the Option
Module, network, and drive. The indicators are on the Option Module and can
be viewed when the drive is powered and its cover is removed.

Stop Action When communications are disrupted (for example, a cable is disconnected), the
Option Module and drive can respond with a stop action. A stop action results in
the drive receiving zero as values for Logic Command, Reference, and Datalink
data. If the drive was running and using the Reference from the Option Module,
it will stay running but at zero Reference.

UDDT (User-Defined Data Type) A structure data type that you define during the development of an application
(for example, to convert 32-bit REAL parameter data for written and read values
to correctly display them in human readable format).

Zero Data When communications are disrupted (for example, a cable is disconnected), the
Option Module and drive can respond with zero data. Zero data results in the
drive receiving zero as values for Logic Command, Reference, and Datalink data.
If the drive was running and using the Reference from the Option Module, it will
stay running but at zero Reference.
