Configuring the I/O

Unicast connection (RSLogix 5000 software, version 18.00 or later)

Drive Add-on Profiles, version 2.01 or later, enable I/O to be added online
while the controller is in Run mode.

Drive Add-on Profiles can be updated anytime. When a new drive is used
or to benefit from new updates for Add-on Profiles, you will need the
newest Add-on Profile update. Go to

www.ab.com/support/abdrives/

webupdate

to download the latest RSLogix 5000 drive Add-on Profile.

Adding the Drive/Option Module to the I/O Configuration

To transmit data between the bridge and the drive, you must add the drive as a
child device to the parent bridge. In this example, RSLogix 5000 software version
20.00 is used with drive Add-on Profile version 4.03. To determine your drive
Add-on Profile version, see Allen-Bradley Knowledgebase document #65882.

1.

In the treeview, right-click the bridge and choose New Module to display
the Select Module dialog box.

In our example, we right-click the 1756-EN2TR/A bridge. Expand the
Drives group to display all of the available drives with their
communication Option Modules.

2.

From the list, select the drive and its connected option module.

For this example, we selected “PowerFlex 753-ENETR.”

3.

Click OK.

TIP

If the PowerFlex drive is not shown, go to

www.ab.com/support/

abdrives/webupdate

and download the latest RSLogix 5000 drive Add-

on Profile. Add-on Profile version 4.03 (or later) includes profiles for
PowerFlex 750-Series drives with the 20-750-ENETR option module.
