Lab 3: PowerFlex Drives Add-On Profile with Drives and Motion Accelerator Toolkit.
This section will provide a preview of the PowerFlex Drives Add-On Profiles as well as the Drives and Motion Accelerator Toolkit
Add-On Instructions and Faceplates for the PowerFlex 525 and PowerFlex 755 drives.
About Integrated Drive Profiles and Premier Integration
Integrated Drive Profiles are designed to save system development time and to make systems easier to maintain.
Testing of skilled engineers configuring drives in a timed, side-by-side comparison, Integrated Drive Profiles in RSLogix 5000
and Studio 5000 Logix Designer software can reduce drive system development time by as much as 70% compared to traditional
configuration. This is achieved by:
Providing one software tool to configure the entire controller and drive system.
Configuring both controller and drive network connections from a single location – eliminating I/O mismatch errors.
Allowing the dynamic selection of drive parameters transmitted as network I/O – communicating only what is needed for the
application.
Auto-generating descriptive tag names – eliminating the need to enter individual tag descriptions.
Auto-generating respective tag data types – eliminating the need to convert from one data type to another.
Saving all drive configurations in the project file and in the controller – providing a single source of drive configuration data.
Providing Copy & Paste capability when creating additional duplicate drives – reduces errors in configuration with systems
containing multiple identical drives.
Using the same easy-to-use drive configuration Wizards in the Connected Components Workbench, DriveTools SP, and
DriveExplorer software packages.
Systems using the Integrated Drive Profiles in RSLogix 5000 and Studio 5000 Logix Designer software are also easier to
maintain:
Drive diagnostics, faults, alarms and event information is integral to RSLogix 5000 and Studio 5000 Logix Designer software.
Drive Tech Support Wizard can be run from RSLogix 5000 and Studio 5000 Logix Designer software to collect all pertinent
information about a drive, its peripherals, various software components, and PC operating system.
Drives can be flash updated from RSLogix 5000 and Studio 5000 Logix Designer software.
Having a single repository of drive configuration data in the controller project file reduces downtime by speeding drive
replacement.
Integrated Drive Profiles are "Add-On Profiles", independent of particular releases of RSLogix 5000 and Studio 5000 Logix
Designer software. Many are backward compatible to work with previous versions of the programming software as well, helping
to prevent obsolescence of the controller when newer drives are available.
