Preface
About This Publication
This quick start provides examples and procedures for integrating a PowerFlex
40 drive in a
Logix5000
control system over an EtherNet/IP network. The programming examples are not
complex, and offer easy solutions to verify that devices are functioning and communicating
properly.
Before Using This Publication
You can only use the tasks described in this publication after first completing some prerequisite
tasks with a Logix5000 controller. For example, before you can add a PowerFlex 40 drive to an
RSLogix
5000 project, as described on
, you must first create the project.
describes the tasks you must complete before using this publication.

IMPORTANT
This publication describes example tasks you can complete when using a PowerFlex 40 drive on an EtherNet/IP
network. The tasks described are not the only tasks you can complete with a PowerFlex 40 drive on an EtherNet/IP
network.
IMPORTANT
The cover that ships with your PowerFlex 40 drive is insufficient to complete the tasks described in this chapter. You
must use either a 22B-CCB Frame B drive cover or 22B-CCC Frame C drive cover.
This quick start describes tasks that use a 22B-CCB Frame B drive cover.
IMPORTANT
The example graphics shown in
Table 1 - Required Tasks to Complete Before Using this Quick Start on page 6
are for
CompactLogix
5370 L3 controllers. Depending on the Logix5000 controller you are using, the specific steps to
complete the tasks described in the table might vary.
