Configuring SLC500 Applications
Chapter 6 describes how to configure a SLC500 PLC on a ControlNet network with a
FlexPak3000 or Webpak3000 drive.
Both the 1747-SCNR and 1747-KFC15 modules are required to communicate fully
with a drive and both must be configured as drops on the ControlNet network. If the
application only calls for access to Drive Reference and Feedback Data (such as Drive
Control and Status Words), and does not call for access to any N10, N11, or N12 drive
parameters, the 1747-KFC card will not be required. However, Unscheduled
Messaging will not be possible and another connection option to the processor will be
required for downloading the required ladder logic.
The examples in this chapter reference a FlexPak3000 drive. A similar process can be
followed if your application uses a Webpak3000 drive with the appropriate ControlNet
Options Board. Your rack configuration for the Webpak3000 may be different then the
included examples. Adjust the examples to match your Nodes and Slots accordingly.
This chapter is intended for use by personnel familiar with the installation and
operation of the Reliance Drive and the installation, programming, I/O configuration
and operation of the SLC processor using RSLinx, RSLogix 5000 and RSNetWorx for
ControlNet software. Personnel should also be familiar with the system configuration
documentation.
