3-4 Placing and Configuring the Drive

You must configure the Requested Packet Interval (RPI) rate for the drive.

This setting affects how fast the controller reads and writes the data in the

drive interface.

The Drive consumes data from the DriveLogix controller every 2 milliseconds,

and produces data to the controller every 2 milliseconds. The drive updates the

inputs and outputs to the controller asynchronous to both the program scan

and I/O scan of the controller.

Placing and Configuring the

Drive

When you create a project for the DriveLogix controller in RSLogix 5000, the

Controller Organizer automatically displays the local DIN rail for Flex I/O.

You must add the PowerFlex 700S drive to the configuration, in a manner

similar to adding an I/O module. The Controller Organizer automatically

places the drive in slot two.

TIP

If you want data to remain constant throughout one scan,

make a copy of the data at the beginning of the scan and

use the copy throughout the scan.
