Sizing Multi-axis Shared-bus Configurations
This appendix provides information and examples for sizing your Kinetix 5500
drive shared-bus configurations.
Shared-bus configurations include the following types:
•
Shared AC
•
Shared DC (common bus)
•
Shared AC/DC
•
Shared AC/DC Hybrid
These restrictions apply to all shared-bus configurations:
•
Shared-bus configurations must use the shared-bus connection system.
•
Single-phase drive operation is not supported.
•
Shared AC/DC and shared AC/DC hybrid configurations result in a
derating of 30% of the total converter power available.
•
The zero-stack tabs and cutouts must be engaged from drive-to-drive.
Systems cannot start in one cabinet and end in another.
•
Program drives for the same converter AC input voltage.
Shared-bus Configurations
Shared AC configurations are configured as Standalone in the project file and do
not share these restrictions that apply to multi-axis shared-bus configurations:
•
All drives in a bus-sharing group must be configured with the same bus
power-sharing group number in the Logix Designer application.
•
The maximum number of drives in any bus power-sharing group cannot
exceed eight.

IMPORTANT
Do not make drive-to-drive connections with discrete wires.
