Rockwell Automation Logix5000 Control Systems: Connect a PowerFlex 70 Drive over DeviceNet Quick Start - Manual (Page 5)

Rockwell Automation Publication IASIMP-QS030A-EN-P - July 2012 5
Preface
About This Publication
This quick start provides examples and procedures for including PowerFlex
®
70 drives in a
Logix5000  controllers control system over a DeviceNet network. The programming examples
are not complex, and offer easy solutions to verify that devices are functioning and
communicating properly.
Before Using This Publication
You can only complete the tasks described in this publication after first completing some
prerequisite tasks with a Logix5000 controller. For example, before you can add a PowerFlex 70
drives to an RSLogix
 5000 project, as described in Chapter 3 , you must first create the project.
For more information on how to complete these tasks with specific Logix5000 controllers, see
the Integrated Architecture

: Logix5000 Control Systems Quick Starts Quick Reference,
publication IASIMP-QR024 .
IMPORTANT This publication describes example tasks you complete when using PowerFlex 70 drives on a DeviceNet network. The
tasks described are not the only tasks you can complete with the PowerFlex 70 Drives on a DeviceNet network. You will
likely need to complete additional tasks when using PowerFlex 70 drives in specific Logix5000 control systems.
For more information on how to use the all of the PowerFlex 70 drives’ functionality in specific Logix5000 control
system, see
Additional Resources on page 11 .
IMPORTANT Consider the following before using this publication:
• Multiple Logix5000 controllers support the use of a DeviceNet network. The specific hardware used and software
configuration parameter settings vary by Logix5000 controller. This quick starts describes how to use PowerFlex 70
drives over a DeviceNet network in a CompactLogix

5370 L3 control system.
The example graphics shown in Table 1 - Required Tasks to Complete before Using This Quick Start on page 6 are for
CompactLogix 5370 L3 controllers. Depending on the Logix5000 controller you are using, the specific steps to
complete the tasks described in the table might vary.
• The tasks described in this publication are written with the assumption that you have already installed the
CompactLogix 5370 L3 control system and it is powered.
