What tag are you referencing in your PanelView project, I believe you need to use N registers to get data from the PF525.

There is a TechNote on how to communicate and control the PF525, I will see if I can find it.

TechNote is QA52360, you will TechConnect to view it.

It sounds like you need to add OutputCurrent as an input in the drive definition. In the old days they called it Datalinks. Now I think it is just called Inputs and Outputs. The 525 definition in your project will need to have that declared. The drive itself will also need a parameter set to match that.

You can also use a MSG instruction to grab the Output Current as well.

Not sure on the exact MSG attributes, but a quick search should provide you that information.
