Configure Your Electric Cylinder
Configure the electric cylinder by using the basic parameter settings described in this section.
Use the procedure appropriate for your motion axis.
Configure Your Servo Drive with RSLogix 5000 Software
Use the following procedure to configure the drive for your electric cylinder.
The procedure assumes the electric cylinder and the Kinetix 350, Kinetix 2000, Kinetix 6000,
Kinetix 6200, or Kinetix 6500 servo drive are installed and wired as one axis of the motion
system.

ATTENTION:
Moving parts can cause injuries. Before running the electric cylinder, make sure all
components are secure and safe guards are in place to prevent access to the path of moving
machinery.
Have safeguards to prevent access to the electric cylinder until all motion has stopped.
Check that the electric cylinder is clear of foreign matter and tools. Objects hit by the moving thrust
rod can become projectiles that can cause personal injury or damage to the equipment.
IMPORTANT
You are responsible to verify that the servo control system safely controls the electric cylinder
with regard to maximum force, acceleration, and speed.
ATTENTION:
Incorrect parameter settings can result in uncontrolled motion, with the potential for
damage to the electric cylinder.
Initiating a motion command on an electric cylinder with an incorrect Position mode setting can
result in damage to the electric cylinder, and the machine in which it is installed.
