AB | 1756-DMF30 | DRIVE MODULE

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.
