Chapter 6
Understand Bus-sharing
Group Configuration
When configuring Module Properties>Power category for each Kinetix 5700
drive, you can breakout drives from one or more servo systems into multiple
bus-sharing (power) groups.
A drive that faults in Group 1 does not affect the operation of Group 2, even
though all of the drives in Groups 1 and 2 are in the same Motion group in the
Logix Designer application. As many as 25 bus-sharing groups are possible.

, twelve axes are needed to support the motion application. All
twelve axes are configured in the same Motion group in the Logix Designer
application.
IMPORTANT
The iTRAK power supply is not configured as part of a bus-sharing group in
the Logix Designer application. The gateway computer monitors bus status
and controls enabling and disabling the iTRAK power supply. See the iTRAK
System User Manual, publication
for more information.
