You must configure communications between the ControlLogix
controller and the Drive Module by selecting a “Controller
Communication Format”. A controller communication format is a set
of links that connects controller output tags to Drive Module sinking
parameters, and connects controller input tags to Drive Module
sourcing parameters. There are four controller communication formats
to choose from, depending on which module you are configuring:
• Velocity Control
• Position Control
• User-Defined Control
• Custom User-Defined Control
Each controller communication format contains both required
connections and user definable connections. You must use both
RSLogix 5000 and DriveExecutive to configure these connections. The
programming software will not allow you to choose Velocity Control
or Position control for the 1756-DMF30.
