Added a PowerFlex 525 for a new infeed conveyor. Controller is a 5069 L320ER, Studio 5000 v33. I copied how the other four drives are done in the I/O tree, same module, same revision, and the drive comes up green in the tree with no yellow triangle and I can see the status tag updating so I thought that was that.

I write the start bit in the output tag, the LogicCommand Start, and nothing happens. Speed reference goes in too. Press start on the drive keypad and it runs away happily. I've deleted the drive out of the tree and added it back, and power cycled it, no difference.

Is the connection not really made even though the tree says green? The status tag's updating so something is getting through, so any ideas where I should be looking on the drive side?

Green means the connection is fine, the tree isn't it. The drive's running from the keypad because it's been told to. On the drive keypad read P046 and P047 and post the numbers.
