Input and Output Assembly
The terms input and output refer to the point of view of the scanner device.
Output data is produced by the scanner and consumed by the adapter. Input data
is produced by the adapter and consumed by the scanner. The Kinetix 300 drive is
an adapter device and the controller using RSLogix 5000 software as a scanner
device.
The drive contains EtherNet/IP Assembly Object Instances that pertain to these
RSLogix 5000 connection parameters:
• Input (actual values such as actual velocity, actual position)
• Output (enable and reference value going to the drive)
• Index Configuration (see Indexing Category
on page 101)
Assembly instances are accessible by using Class 3 explicit messages as well as the
Class 1 I/O messaging.
