Installing the Application
Perform the following operations in the order listed to ensure proper signal connections
between the DriveLogix controller and the PowerFlex 700S firmware.
1. Download the RSLogix 5000 [.acd] file to the DriveLogix controller
2. Download the DriveExecutive [.dno] file to the PowerFlex 700S
Note, order of these events are critical as the DriveLogix controller must send the Peer
Communication format to the PowerFlex 700S firmware before the PowerFlex 700S will
accept all the configuration settings provided in the DriveExecutive file. Manually setting
the Peer Communication format in the drive will not be effective until configured in
DriveLogix. If this sequence of operation is not followed, the DriveLogix controller may
not communicate with the PowerFlex 700S.

ATTENTION: The following information is merely a guide for proper installation.
Rockwell Automation Company cannot assume responsibility for the compliance or
the noncompliance to any code, national, local or otherwise for the proper installation
of this drive or associated equipment. A hazard of personal injury and/or equipment
damage exists if codes are ignored during installation.
Minimum Connections;
1. The Enable input on the drive must be satisfied before the drive can be started.
2. A motor feedback device is required for positioning operation.
a. This can be an incremental quadrature encoder (this will required homing
after each drive power cycle)
b. This can be a Hi-Resolution Stegmann device for absolute positioning
3. As a minimum connection requirement, the application module could be operated
with only 1 position command input (Next Position). With this one input, the drive
will start and move to the next programmed position in sequence as specified in
the application configuration. See the Basic Operation description.
* If used with incremental encoder, the following connections are also required.
4. Home sequence command, is required to command the application module to
find actual position of the machine after a power cycle.
5. An (At Home Sensor) input is required to indicate the home position reached
when the homing sequence is utilized. See the Basic Operation description.
Generic Connections;
The following connections provide a configuration that allows for implementation of all
control features supported in the Application Module – Positioning (Point to Point).
This shows all input command for the application. The inputs may be commanded
from many different forms of digital inputs and/or communication platforms. The data
from the input (controlling) source must be connected to the control inputs of the
application module. Following the list of control inputs is an example ladder logic
program showing the connections from a Flex I/O input card. The contacts in this
ladder program represent the format used to command the inputs to the application
module, regardless of the source of the input commands (digital I/O or communicated
data).
