Configuring the I/O 4-7
PowerFlex® 755 Drive Embedded EtherNet/IP Adapter User Manual
Publication 750COM-UM001A-EN-P
Three buttons at the bottom left of the Module Definition screen are
provided for your convenience to perform specific functions:
• Create Database: Clicking this button enables you to create a
database from an online network device. Thereafter, the database
appears in the list for selection on the Module Definition screen.
• Web Update: Clicking this button opens the Allen-Bradley Web
Updates web site for downloading product-specific firmware
update files.
• Match Drive: This button is useful when the drive being added
to the network matches the drive profile (revision, rating,
Datalinks, configuration settings, etc.) of an existing online
network drive. Clicking this button conveniently creates a
duplicate drive profile from the online drive, and automatically
loads this identical information into the Module Definition
screen. This eliminates the need to manually enter the
information each time a new drive with a matching profile is
added to the network.
On the Module Definition screen, notice that the Drive Status,
Feedback, Logic Command, and Reference are always used.
However, when using Datalinks you must still assign adapter
Parameters 01-16 - [DL From Net 01-16] and Parameters 17-32
Electronic
Keying
Compatible Module. The “Compatible Module” setting for Electronic
Keying ensures the physical module is consistent with the software
configuration before the controller and bridge make a connection.
Therefore, ensure that you have set the correct revision in this screen.
Refer to the online Help for additional information on this and other
Electronic Keying settings. If keying is not required, select “Disable
Keying.”
Drive Rating The voltage and current rating of the drive. If the drive rating is not listed,
the drive database is not installed on your computer. To get the correct
database, click either the Create Database…, Web Update…, or Match
Drive button on the bottom left of this screen. See the information
following this table for descriptions of each button.

names like those used in RSLogix 5000 v15.
Data Format Parameters. When the Connection field is set to “Parameters via

field is set to “Datalinks,” you must select the number of Datalinks
required for your application in the “Data Format” field.
