Configuring the Drive in a Logix System Chapter 3
Best Practices
When using ADC in your control system, adhere to the following
recommendations:
• To configure a drive, use only the Studio 5000 environment drive AOP.
If another tool is used to configure the drive, complete the drive
configuration and then upload the configuration to the drive AOP and
save your project. Use the drive AOP for any future configuration
changes. A HIM or CCW can still be used, but only for monitoring.
• Enable ADC as the last step in the commissioning process, after all drive
configurations have been completed. By enabling ADC as the last step, it
inhibits ADC downloads from being triggered after any parameter
adjustments are made during the commissioning process.
• Upload the configuration from the drive before ADC is enabled. This
action makes sure that rating, peripherals, firmware revisions, and
parameter configuration settings in the ACD project match the settings
in the drive.
• Enable and test ADC with one drive or a small group of drives before
enabling it for the remaining drives in the control system. Apply any
lessons learned to the configuration settings of the other drives in the
project. Verify that ADC is successfully working before proceeding to
enable it on other drives.
• After testing ADC with an initial drive, enable ADC in small groups of
drives at a time (for example, five drives). Make sure all drives
successfully come up on the network and are operational before
proceeding to the next group.
