FAQ

Why do we change the IO connection name?

The purpose of changing the IO connection name is to change the word size from 2 integers to 10 to meet the proper communication specifications for Danfoss drives.

Why do we have to change the data within the tag?

The last steps after defining the tag name are linking the COMM_STATUS and PCDREAD/WRITE to the drive we've connected through our EtherNet/IP connection.

Can I do this with any drive?

You can integrate any Danfoss VLT® drive into the RSLogix 5000 environment v20 or greater using the steps outlined in the video, while taking care to ensure the EDS file you use matches your product.
