Drive Add On Profiles
A PowerFlex 750-Series drive can be added to RSLogix 5000 or Studio 5000 projects as a “Standard Drive”
using Drive Add-On Profiles (AOPs). RSLogix 5000 v16 and higher, or Studio 5000 is required. At the time
of this writing, Add-On Profiles were be available at
http://www.ab.com/support/abdrives/webupdate/soft-
under the “RSLogix 5000 Drive Add-On Profiles (non CIP Motion)” folder.
Option Modules are added to the drive while setting the drive’s properties.
Integrated Motion
PowerFlex 750-Series drives can be used as part of an Integrated Motion system. (Integrated Motion was
previously known as
CIP Motion.
) With its 20-750-ENC-1 emulation, the RD750 can be used in Integrated
motion systems.
Like the 20-750-ENC-1 module, homing and registration functions are not supported when
using the RD750 with Integrated Motion. These functions are only supported by the Universal
Feedback Board (20-750-UFB-1) when Integrated Motion is used.
Rockwell Automation literature should be followed to add a PowerFlex drive to your control system. Rock-
well Automation publication MOTION-UM003D explains how to create a new project that supports inte-
grated motion as well as how to add and configure a PowerFlex 755 drive. When creating your project,
remember to:
Enable Time Synchronization
Choose an Ethernet communications module that supports the CIP Sync protocol and verify that the fol-
lowing parameters are set correctly:
The Electronic Keying parameter must be set to “Exact Match” or “Compatible Keying”
The Time Sync Connection parameter must be set to “Time Sync and Motion”
Detailed information on configuring PowerFlex 755 drives for use with ControlLogix L6x and L7x control-
lers can be found in the following Rockwell Automation publications:
PowerFlex 750-Series AC Drives, publication
Integrated Motion on the EtherNet/IP Network Configuration and Startup,
publication
Logix5000 Controllers Motion Instructions, publication
Integrated Motion on the EtherNet/IP Network, publication
Connected Components Workbench
PowerFlex 750-Series drives can be configured with the Connected Components Workbench software. This
software is available for free download at
http://ab.rockwellautomation.com/programmable-controllers/
connected-components-workbench-software
. When installing the software, verify that the drive profiles are
selected for installation, and not just the micro800 profiles.
Option Modules are added to the drive while setting the drive’s properties. Help files that were installed with
the software are available to assist you.
DriveTools / DriveExecutive
DriveExecutive software recognizes all peripheral cards installed in a drive when the software connects to the
drive and you upload data from the drive. You cannot manually add a 20-750-ENC-1 peripheral card to a
750-Series drive while off-line. Once the upload is complete, the RD750 will appear as a 20-750-ENC-1 card
in the Node Tree.
