Chapter 6 Configure and Start the Kinetix 5500 Drive System
Understand Bus-sharing
Group Configuration
When configuring Module Properties > Power tab for each Kinetix 5500 servo
drive, you can breakout drives from one or more servo systems into multiple
bus-sharing (power) groups.
A drive that faults in Group 1 does not affect the operation of Group 2, even
though all drives in Groups 1 and 2 are in the same Motion group in the Logix
Designer application.
Figure 63 - 25 Bus-sharing Groups Are Possible
Figure 64 - Standalone Bus Configuration
Bus-sharing Group Example
In this example, 12 axes are needed to support the motion application. All 12
axes are configured in the same Motion group in the Logix Designer
application.
IMPORTANT Bus-sharing groups do not apply to drives with a Bus Configuration of
Standalone. When Standalone is configured as the Bus Configuration,
Standalone (dimmed) is also configured as the Bus Sharing Group.
