Description
Project Node
The project node contains two types of groups. The Power Rail/Drive Group (of the selected product family) and an unallocated group.
Power Rail Node
Applies to multi-axis drive families. Shown is the power rail icon, drive family name, and power rail catalog
number. The default name for this node is Drives Group 1, however, it is renamed when a solution for any
axis under this group is defined.
For single-axis family, the default name is Drives Group 1. For multi-axes family, the default name is Power
Rail 1. Also, for multi-axis family, after the drive family is defined, the power rail displays many empty slots
until each slot is allocated a module.
Drives Group Node
Applies to drive families that allow AC and DC power sharing (Kinetix 5500). Shown is the drive group icon
and drive name.
Axis Module Node
Axis node consists of two levels. First level displays the slot number of the power rail (available only for
multi-axis families), axis name, drive catalog number, and the solution status of the axis. Second level
displays the motor catalog number for the selected solution. Additionally, if there is a warning in the axis,
then a warning triangle is also displayed beside the solution status.
Axis Module Node
When the solution is not yet selected, then only the axis node is displayed and instead of drive catalog
number, Incomplete is displayed.
IPIM Module Node
This node displays the slot number that the IPIM module is assigned to on the power rail along with the
name of the IPIM module, catalog number of the selected IPIM module, and the IPIM module status.
IDM Unit Node
IDM unit node is similar to axis module node except that the IDM unit node consists of only a single node
representing the axis solution.
Empty Slot Node
Applies to multi-axis drive families. It is visible after a multi-axis drive family is selected.
Unallocated Axis Node
The Unallocated Axes Node is where axes independent of other axes can be created. An unallocated axis can be allocated to a Drive Group using the allocate
button located in the
on the menu bar or by dragging and dropping the axis.
Status Symbols
Additionally, if the power supply solution is present, then the status of the selected power supply solution is also displayed, as described below.
Indicates that the selected power supply solution and all children support the application requirement.
Indicates that the selected power supply solution or any one of the children marginally support the application requirement.
Indicates that the selected power supply solution or any one of the children is not recommended for the application. Additionally, this icon is
also displayed when the IAM module for the power rail has not been sized.
