10 RS Logix Sample Projects
On www.kollmorgen.com, you can find RSLogix sample projects and add-on instructions, which demonstrate
an EtherNet/IP network with a CompactLogix controller and the AKD.
The Using AKD EtherNet/IP with RSLogix manual provides easy start guide for RSLogix programs, as well
as a reference to the sample add-on instructions.
The sample projects are based on an L32E CompactLogix controller, which easily can be changed to another
controller which supports RSLogix.
10.1 Add On Instructions
A set of Add On instructions are provided for easy creation of AKD programs with RSLogix. The instructions
are written to mirror the native instructions, leveraging existing knowledge of the software. They provide easy
control of IO Assembly messages.
The native MSG instruction is used in RSLogix for sending Explicit Messages.
Add-On Instructions include:
l
AKD_Enable
l
AKD_Disable
l
AKD_Home
l
AKD_Jog
l
AKD_Move
l
AKD_Set_Home_Mode
l
AKD_Set_Mode
l
AKD_Shutdown
l
AKD_Shutdown_Reset
l
AKD_Stop_Smooth
l
AKD_Get_Attribute
l
AKD_Get_Parameter
l
AKD_Set_Attribute
l
AKD_Set_Parameter
l
AKD_Set_Units
10.2 AKD Sample Project
The sample project can help you to learn:
l
how to enable the drive
l
how to write/read a parameter via the acyclic channel
l
how the cyclic data exchange is done
l
how to run motion in position or velocity mode
l
how to clear faults
l
how to load and execute motion task sequences
10.3 "Registration Example" Project
This sample project can help you learn:
l
How to configure the drive for registration using only EtherNet/IP (no Workbench setup
required).
l
How to start a motion task sequence
l
How to control digital I/O
