Preface
About This Publication
This quick start provides examples and procedures for integrating a Kinetix® 5500 drive into any Logix5000™
control system over an EtherNet/IP network. The programming examples are not complex and offer easy
solutions to verify that devices are functioning and communicating properly.
This quick start describes how to use one device on one network in a Logix5000 control system. Typically, a
Logix5000 control system, operating on an EtherNet/IP network, includes a controller, power supply, and
communication modules. But, in addition, the system might also include remote I/O modules, servo and/or AC
drives, and HMI terminals.
Other quick starts describe how to use different devices on various networks in Logix5000 control systems. For
more information, see Integrated Architecture™: Logix5000 Control Systems Quick Starts Quick Reference,

The beginning of each chapter contains the following information. Read these sections carefully before
beginning work in each chapter.
• Before You Begin
- This section lists the steps that must be completed and decisions that must be made
before starting that chapter. The chapters in this quick start do not have to be completed in the order in
which they appear, but this section defines the minimum amount of preparation required before
completing the current chapter.
• What You Need
- This section lists the tools that are required to complete the steps in the current chapter.
This includes, but is not limited to, hardware and software.
• Follow These Steps
- This illustrates the steps in the current chapter and identifies which steps are
required to complete the examples using specific networks.
IMPORTANT
This publication describes example procedures you can complete when using a Kinetix 5500 drive over an EtherNet/IP network. You
will likely need to complete additional procedures when using a Kinetix 5500 drive in a typical Logix5000 control system.
