Integrated Motion on the EtherNet/IP Network Applications for PowerFlex 755 AC Drives
Chapter 6
Ring/Star Topology
Network switches can also be connected into a DLR via an Ethernet/IP tap,
creating a ring/star topology.
It is recommended that a managed switch with a transparent and/or boundary
clock, plus QoS and IGMP protocol support be used for this Network topology.
Although the ControlLogix controller is illustrated, the CompactLogix
controller could also be used.
PowerFlex 755 and Kinetix
7000 Drive Overload Rating
Comparison for Permanent
Magnet Motor Operation
The PowerFlex 755 drive can be configured for a normal duty or heavy duty
operation. The heavy duty rating has a lower continuous current rating and
therefore can produce more current during an overload.
The Kinetix 7000 drive overload capability is specific for each power structure.
However, the Kinetix 7000 can produce 100% current at 0 Hz.
With permanent magnet motors, the torque is directly proportional to the
current. Therefore, the overload ratings of the drive to which the motor is
connected provides the torque overload capability of the motor.
