This section provides guidelines for using Studio 5000 Logix Designer® application to configure
your electric-cylinder servo drive system.
Configure Your Electric Cylinder with a Kinetix 5500 or Kinetix 5700 Servo Drive
Configure the electric-cylinder by using the basic parameter settings that are described in this
section.
The procedure assumes the electric-cylinder and the Kinetix 5500 or Kinetix 5700 servo drive
are installed and wired as one axis of the motion system.
To configure your drive, do the following.
1.
From Axis Properties select, Motor category.
2.
From the Data Source pull-down menu, choose Catalog Number.
ATTENTION:
Parts that move can cause injuries. Before running the electric cylinder, make sure
that all components are secure and safeguards are in place to prevent access to the path of
machinery in motion.
Safeguards must 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
piston rod can become projectiles that can cause personal injury or damage equipment.
IMPORTANT
It is your responsibility to verify that the servo control system safely controls the electric
cylinder regarding maximum force, acceleration, and speed.
