Integrated Motion on EtherNet/IP Application
Introduction
The Integrated Motion on EtherNet/IP application is a feature with v2.xxx and
higher firmware PowerFlex® 755 drives. It provides a common user experience as
Kinetix® 6500 drives when used with Logix controllers (v19 and higher) on an
EtherNet/IP network.
• Same motion profile in RSLogix 5000® provides a common configuration
experience. The PowerFlex® 755 drive uses the Motion Properties/Axis
Properties and the same motion attributes as the Kinetix® 6500 servo drive.
• Same RSLogix 5000® motion instructions provide a common
programming experience. An extra motion instruction, MDS – Motion
Drive Start, has also been added to allow a ramped start with “Flying Start”
capability (ability to start into a rotating motor).
Two options are available for integrating PowerFlex 755 drives with Logix
controllers:
1. “Standard Drive” using Drive Add-on Profiles (AOPs) – RSLogix 5000
software v16 and higher.
2. “Integrated Motion Drive” using Integrated Motion on EtherNet/IP
technology – RSLogix 5000 software v19 and higher.
When to consider using Integrated Motion on EtherNet/IP with PowerFlex 755
drives:
• Applications having both servos and drives - convenient to be able to
configure/program servos and drives the same way.
• Drive applications that could benefit from motion instructions - servo
performance is not needed, but it is advantageous to use the RSLogix 5000
motion instruction set to save development time.
Not all drive functions are accessible when used in an Integrated Motion on
EtherNet/IP application.
Firmware v12 and higher requires RSLogix 5000 v28 and higher to work with
Integrated Motion on EtherNet/IP.
