Configuring the Drive in a Logix System Chapter 3
Programmatically 
Monitoring Connection 
Status and the ADC 
Configuration Signature
The Ethernet connection status between the Logix controller and PowerFlex 
drive can be monitored using a GSV instruction.
•Class: Module
• Instance: {name of drive in project}
• Attribute: Entry status (returns a value that indicates status)
See the RSLogix 5000 / Studio 5000 application Help for more information 
on the GSV Instruction, GSV/SSV Objects, and the Module Object.
The Configuration Signature for a given Port in the PowerFlex drive can be 
monitored using an MSG instruction. The following MSG instruction reads 
the Configuration Signature from Port 0 in a PowerFlex drive.
The MSG instruction Get Attribute Single uses the DPI™ Device Object 
(Class 92 Hex) to access Port 0 in drive (Instance 0). It then reads the 
Configuration Signature (Attribute 26 Hex = 38 Dec). See DPI Device Object 
on page 138 for additional information.
ADC doesn’t 
complete when 20-
750-S1 (S1) option 
module is used.
Required manual steps to 
unlock/lock and set the 
password are not performed.
ADC is not fully automatic when used with a 20-750-S1 
(S1) module. Safety systems have a mandatory 
requirement for manual steps in the configuration process. 
See Special Considerations For 20-750-S1 Safe Speed 
Module (S1) on page 75 for more information.
ADC fails due to 
parameter out of 
range error.
The Min/Max on a parameter 
was affected when another 
parameter was adjusted.
Out of range parameters have a red highlight in the Linear 
List parameter editor. Locate and correct any out of range 
parameters.
Drive is at default 
configuration 
settings after ADC is 
performed 
(equivalent to a 
Reset to Defaults).
Drive configuration did not 
upload and save to the drive 
AOP and was not saved in the 
ACD project that is 
downloaded to the controller.
Can occur when a second software tool is being used to 
configure the drive. A second tool is not necessary and not 
recommended. Upload the configuration from the drive 
and save it in the drive AOP. Download project to controller.
