Options for PowerFlex 755
Drives
When a PowerFlex 755 drive is used in Integrated Motion on EtherNet/IP
mode, the Logix controller and Studio 5000 Logix Designer application are the
exclusive owners of the drive (same as Kinetix). An HIM or other drive
software tools, such as DriveExplorerâ„¢ and DriveToolsâ„¢ SP, cannot be used to
control the drive or change configuration settings. These tools can only be used
for monitoring.
The PowerFlex 755 drive contains an EtherNet/IP adapter that is embedded
on the main control board. This embedded adapter lets you easily configure,
control, and collect drive data over Ethernet networks. The drive can operate
also in the integrated motion mode or the existing I/O mode.
The PowerFlex 755 drive has five option ports that can accept a combination of
options for control, communication, I/O, feedback, safety, and auxiliary
control power. Only one safety option module can be installed on a drive.
There are seven types of peripherals:
•HIM
•I/O
• Communications, Ethernet Standard
•Aux Power
(1)
•Safety
(2)
•Encoder Interface
(3)
•Universal Feedback

Table 5 lists valid peripheral devices and ports for various PowerFlex 755
drives.
(1) Aux power is not supported for Integrated Motion.
(2) Only one safety option module can be installed on a drive.
(3) See Tab le 6
for supported feedback module combinations.
