Rockwell Automation Logix5000 Control Systems: Connect PowerFlex 40 Drive over DeviceNet Quick Start - Manual (Page 39)

Use a PowerFlex 40 Drive in an RSLogix 5000 Project
In this chapter, you complete the following tasks:
• Create DeviceNet tags with the DeviceNet Tag Generator tool
• Download the updated RSLogix 5000 project to your controller
• Edit the drive parameter values
• Test the drive tags
IMPORTANT
Multiple Logix5000 control systems can use PowerFlex 40 drives over a DeviceNet network. For example purposes,
this quick start describes the use of PowerFlex 40 drives over a DeviceNet network in a CompactLogix 5370 L3
control system that includes a 1769-SDN scanner module in a local expansion module slot.
This section uses the example RSLogix 5000 project created in Associate the DeviceNet Configuration File with an
RSLogix 5000 Project on page 33 named PFlex40_Drive_on_DeviceNet_quick_start.acd. The 1769-SDN
scanner module has been configured so the RSNetWorx tab links the RSLogix 5000 project to the DeviceNet file
created in
Create a DeviceNet Configuration File on page 29 .
If you use a different Logix5000 controller and DeviceNet scanner module, you can complete the tasks in this
chapter but must account for any software differences.
