Configuring the Drive in a Logix System Chapter 3
Obtain Add-on Profiles
When a new drive is used, or to benefit from new updates for Add-on Profiles
(AOP), you need the newest Add-on Profile update. Drive Add-on Profiles can
be updated anytime, and contain the latest database files available at the time of
release.
Go to http://compatibility.rockwellautomation.com/Pages/home.aspx
to
download the latest drive Add-on Profile for the PowerFlex 755T drive. The
Logix Designer application drive Add-on Profiles provide these advantages:
• Profiles for specific drives that provide descriptive controller tags for
basic control I/O words (logic command/status and reference/
feedback) and datalinks. Additionally, datalinks automatically take
the name of the drive parameter to which they are assigned. All Tags
are of the proper data type so there is no need for manual conversion
in the user program. These profiles substantially reduce I/O
mismatch errors and drive configuration time.
• The drive tab removes the need for a separate drive-software-
configuration tool. All drive configuration can be done within the
AOP.
• Drive configuration settings are saved as part of the controller project
file (.ACD) and also downloaded to the controller.
• Automatic Device Configuration (drive Add-on Profiles version
1.xxx or later, controller software version 20 or later).
Create Logix Controller
Project
The example in this section is for a ControlLogix® controller, revision 20 or
later, and the PowerFlex 755T drives, firmware 1.xxx or later. The minimum
RSLogix 5000 or Studio 5000 environment version that supports the
PowerFlex 755T drives is version 20.
Example Network
This section provides the steps to configure a simple EtherNet/IP network (see
Figure 9
). In our example, we configure a 1756-EN2T bridge to communicate
with a drive by using logic command/status, reference/feedback, and 32
datalinks (16 to read and 16 to write) over the network.
