I am seeking assistance in understanding how to adjust data types when transitioning from Invertek to AB drives. While setting up the new module for the 525 drive, I encountered an issue with my input and output data types being the same. I struggled to efficiently change them, so I decided to export and import a module that was previously set up correctly. Any help or tips on how to resolve this would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
I'm unsure about your question regarding the 525 data type, as it is not clearly defined in the standard dataset. However, you have the option to modify the data links for input and output on the drive to enhance the tag definition and accommodate additional data links. Are you looking to incorporate new datalinks?
It sounds like you're having compatibility issues particularly concerning data types. I would suggest directly converting the data types within the Logic/PLC program. This way you can convert the outputs from the Invertek drive into a format your 525 drive can understand. Also, double-check what data compatibility AB drives support. Higher-end drives often support more data types. I hope this helps! By the way, exporting and importing a correctly set up module is a good temporary fix too.
It sounds like you're dealing with a common issue when transitioning from Invertek to AB drives. When you're configuring the 525 drive, make sure you're defining the data types at setup. This can often be overlooked, causing the input and output data types to default to the same. To alter the data types after setup, you have to open the module configuration, navigate to the respective input or output tag, and manually change the data type there. Also, exporting and importing a correctly configured module can save time, but it's crucial to thoroughly understand your specific settings and requirements to avoid issues. I hope that helps!
It sounds like you're facing a common challenge when moving between different drive systems. One useful tip is to double-check the documentation for the 525 drive, as it often includes specific guidelines on data type configurations. Additionally, consider looking into the software's data mapping options, which might allow you to easily remap inputs and outputs without manually adjusting each type. If you still run into issues, exporting the working module and tweaking it could indeed save time, but make sure to verify that all parameters align with the new drive specifications. Good luck!
