Hey there.
I am wondering how I would go about geting motor current value from A powerflex 40 connected over ethernet/ip (22_Comm_E) to my compact loix V16 controller. My drive is updating and recieving update data from pre-defined module data type tags. One is ABowerflex_40_Drive_4Bytes:O:0 the other is
ABowerflex_40_Drive_8Bytes:I:0.
I have done a couple projects using implicit messaging. Would an explicit message be the proper way to go about getting the info I desire or is there some way to get that data coming through one of my module_defined tags.
Can I message a drive that is already communicating in the fashion I have described?
Thanks for any assistance.
