Properties
Kinetix 5500 drives accept Hiperface and Hiperface DSL feedback from
surface permanent magnet (SPM) motors when the appropriate feedback
connector kit is used. Table 59
lists the compatible Allen-Bradley motors and
actuators.
Follow these steps to configure surface permanent-magnet (SPM) motor
closed-loop axis properties.
1. In the Controller Organizer, right-click an axis and choose Properties.
2. Select the General category.
The General and Associated Module dialog box appears.
3. From the General pull-down menus, change configuration settings as
needed for your application.
4. From the Associated Module > Module pull-down menu, choose your
Kinetix 5500 drive.
The drive catalog number populates the Module Type and Power
Structure fields.
5. Click Apply.
6. Select the Motor category.
