8-10 Communications
Rules for Using DataLinks
• Each set of DataLink parameters in an SMC-Flex can be used by
only one adapter. If more than one adapter is connected, multiple
adapters must not try to use the same DataLink.
• Parameter settings in the SMC determine the data passed through
the DataLink mechanism.
• When you use a DataLink to change a value, the value is not
written to the Non-Volatile Storage (NVS). The value is stored in
volatile memory and lost when the drive loses power.
Parameters 88…103 are used to configure the DataLinks. For
additional information regarding DataLinks, refer to the user manual
for the communication interface being used.
Note: Node addressing of the DPI communication card can be
programmed via software or a hand-held DPI HIM. The on-
board HIM cannot be used to address the communication
card.
Updating Firmware The latest version of firmware and instructions for the SMC-Flex can
be obtained from www.ab.com.
