Hello!
I have the following items:
CompactLogix 1769-L16ER-BB1B Processor
PowerFlex 753-NET-E-AC Drive via 20-COMM-E drive.
I noticed that when I added the PowerFlex drive I automatically got some Controller Tags:
PowerFlex_753:I
PowerFlex-753:O
When I expanded the PowerFlex_753:O tag I noticed a:
PowerFlex_753:O.LogicCommand_Start
PowerFlex_753:O.LogicCommand_Stop
PowerFlex_753:O.LogicCommand_Jog1
...
tag(s).
Are those what I use to start, stop, and jog the drive from the PLCs ladder?
Also, when I expand PowerFlex_753:I tag I noticed a:
Powerflex_753:I.DriveStatus_AtSpeed
tag.
Is that what I use to test if the drive if running from my PLC ladder?
I expected a DriveRunning tag but did not see one, is AtSpeed the same as DriveRunning?
Another question:
The PowerFlex_753:I tag has a PowerFlex_753:IDriveStatus tag under it and that tag is Data Type INT. When I expand that I see the tags
PowerFlex_753:IDriveStatus0 to PowerFlex_753:IDriveStatus15
is DriveStatus0 the same thing as DriveStatus_Ready and
DriveStatus1 the same thing as DriveStatus_Active?
If not, then what is the difference between the two? How do I know what DriveStatus0 or DriveStatus1 is for?
Thank you for your help.
