Integrated Motion on EtherNet/IP
Introduction Integrated Motion on EtherNet/IP is a feature with v2 and higher firmware
PowerFlex 755 drives. It provides a common user experience as Kinetix 6500
drives when used with Logix controllers (v19 and higher) on EtherNet/IP.
• Same motion profile in RSLogix 5000 provides a common configuration
experience. The PowerFlex 755 uses the Motion Properties / Axis
Properties and the same motion attributes as the Kinetix 6500.
• Same RSLogix 5000 motion instructions provide a common programming
experience. An extra motion instruction, MDS – Motion Drive Start, has
also been added to allow a ramped start with “Flying Start” capability
(ability to start into a rotating motor).
Users now have two options when integrating PowerFlex 755 drives with Logix
controllers:
1. “Standard Drive” using Drive Add-On Profiles (AOPs) – RSLogix 5000
v16 and higher.
2. “Integrated Motion Drive” using Integrated Motion on EtherNet/IP
technology – RSLogix 5000 v19 and higher.
When to consider using Integrated Motion on EtherNet/IP with PowerFlex 755
drives:
• Applications having both servos and drives - convenient to be able to
configure / program servos and drives the same way.
• Drives applications that could benefit from more powerful (i.e. motion)
instructions - servo performance is not needed, but it is advantageous to
utilize the RSLogix 5000 motion instruction set to save development time.
IMPORTANT Not all drive functions are accessible when used in an Integrated Motion on
EtherNet/IP application.
