Commissioning Drives and Motion Systems
This section provides general procedures for verifying the function of a completed Drives and Motion
Accelerator Toolkit system.
Verify Network Communication
Verify network communication between HMI terminal, Logix5000 controller, and devices.
HMI Terminal to Logix5000 Controller Communication
To determine if communication is lost between the HMI terminal and Logix5000 controller, look for:
• Error messages on the diagnostic display
• Wireframes on the display.
If there are communication problems with the controller, the diagnostic display lists messages (for example, CIP
Connection Error). If the HMI terminal can communicate with the controller, but it cannot read/write specific
tags, the diagnostic display lists similar messages (for example, Error Writing to
xxxxx_Tag).
The HMI terminal displays wireframes and “?????” on objects with tags it cannot read from the controller.
HMI Terminal Display
A few of the most common problems are:
• Hardware problem such as a Ethernet cable disconnected.
• Communication path not properly configured in FactoryTalk View software, Communication Setup.
• Tag names in the parameter files not matching the tag names in the controller.
IMPORTANT These commissioning procedures assume all applications are downloaded, all system devices are commissioned, a personal
computer with the Logix Designer application is available, and a PanelView Plus terminal is powered and connected to the
system’s EtherNet/IP network.
