Using Multi-Drive Mode
This chapter provides instructions on how to configure a CompactLogix
controller to use the PowerFlex 525 drive in Multi-drive mode.
Single-Drive Mode vs. Multi-
Drive Mode Single-drive mode is a typical network installation, where a single EtherNet/IP
node consists of a single drive with an EtherNet/IP adapter.
Single-Drive Mode Example for Network
Multi-drive mode is an alternative to the typical network installation, where a
single EtherNet/IP node can consist of one to five drives (see
Multi-Drive Mode
Example for Network on page 84 ). The first drive must be a PowerFlex 525 drive.
The remaining drives can be any PowerFlex drive which supports Multi-drive
mode.
