Configuring the I/O
process and saves the user time. It is particularly beneficial in a drive replacement
situation when a production line is down.
ADC can also work in tandem with Firmware Supervisor. If Firmware Supervisor
is set up and enabled for a drive (“Exact Match” keying must be used), the drive/
peripheral will be automatically upgraded (if necessary) prior to any ADC
operation for that port.
Version 4.01 Drive Add-on Profiles (AOPs)
RSLogix 5000 software, version 20.00 ships with version 4.01 Drive Add-on
Profiles (AOPs). Note the following ADC operating status when using version
4.01 Drive AOPs:
•
When adding a new drive, ADC is enabled by default for any drive that
supports ADC, such as PowerFlex 753 drives with firmware 7.001 or later,
or PowerFlex 755 drives with firmware 4.001 or later.
•
When converting RSLogix 5000 projects, version 16.00…19.00, to version
20.00 projects (with version 4.01 Drive AOPs), ADC will be enabled by
default for any drive that supports ADC, such as PowerFlex 753 drives
with firmware 7.001 or later, or PowerFlex 755 drives with firmware 4.001
or later.
RSLogix 5000 software, version 20.00 can be updated with version 4.02 (or later)
Drive AOPs, which are available via free download at:
TIP
Use with Stratix 6000 and 8000 switches to provide dynamic IP address
assignment by port. This eliminates the need for the user to manually enter
the IP address, Subnet mask, and Gateway address prior to connecting a
replacement drive to the Ethernet network.
IMPORTANT
Logix ‘owns’ the configuration of the drive. ADC will be triggered any
time the Logix controller detects a configuration signature mismatch
when establishing an EtherNet/IP network I/O connection. The use of
other configuration tools, such as a HIM, DriveExplorer software, or DriveTools
SP software, should be minimized and restricted to monitor-only operation.
Any configuration changes made by these tools will cause a configuration
signature mismatch the next time the Logix controller connects to the device
and ADC will write over any changes made by the other tools. Consider using
the Write Mask function (drive Parameter 888 - [Write Mask Cfg]) to prevent
tools connected to ports other than the Embedded EtherNet/IP port in a
PowerFlex 755 drive from writing to the drive. Any drive configuration changes
should be made with the RSLogix 5000 Add-on Profile (AOP).

To identify the Drive AOP version, click the icon in the upper-left corner of the
Module Properties dialog box and select “About Module Profile.”
