Exercise 5: PowerFlex 525 Drive Add-On Profil e with RS Logix 5000 Software.This section will provide a preview of the PowerFlex 525 Drive Add-On Profile as well as the PowerFlex 525 Drives and MotionAccelerator Toolkit Add-On Instructions and Faceplates for the PowerFlex 525.

About Integrated Dri ve Prof iles and Premier Integrat ion

Integrated Drive Profiles were designed to save system development time and to make systems easier to maintain.

Integrated Drive Profiles in RSLogix 5000 / Studio 5000 Logix Designer can reduce drive system development time by as much

as 70% (figure obtained from timed side-by-side drive configuration comparison testing) by:

Providing one software tool to configure the entire Logix / drive system.

Configuring both controller and drive network connections from a single location - eliminating I/O mismatch errors.

Allowing the dynamic selection of drive parameters transmitted as network I/O communicating only what isneeded for the application.

Auto-generating descriptive tag names - eliminating the need to enter individual tag descriptions.

Auto-generating respective tag data types - eliminating the need to convert from one data type to another.

Saving all drive configurations in the project file and in the Logix controller providing a single source of drive

configuration data. Providing Copy & Paste capability when creating additional duplicate drives also duplicates the drive

configuration settings so all the new drive needs is a different node address.

Allowing use of the same easy-to-use drive configuration Wizards used in Connected Components Workbench,DriveTools SP, and DriveExplorer.

Systems using the Integrated Drive Profiles in RSLogix 5000 / Studio 5000 Logix Designer are also easier to maintain:

Drive diagnostic; fault, alarm and event information is integral to RSLogix 5000 / Studio 5000 Logix Designer.

Drive Tech Support Wizard can be run from RSLogix 5000 / Studio 5000 Logix Designer to collect all pertinentinformation about a drive, its peripherals, various software components, and PC operating system.

Drives can be flash updated from RSLogix 5000 / Studio 5000 Logix Designer.

Having a single repository of drive configuration data (in project file) speeds drive replacement.

Integrated Drive Profiles are "Add-On" Profiles, meaning new profiles can be introduced at any time (not tied to a specific

RSLogix 5000 / Studio 5000 Logix Designer release) and are utilized by the software.

By default, drive status and controlinformation will be communicated. The PowerFlex 525 allows datalinks to be configured to drive parameters.

Status Inform ation

The DriveStatus word contains the drive status bit information, such as Ready, Fault, and At Reference.

The OutputFreq word contains the speed feedback information, which shows the actual operating frequency(Hz) of the drive.

Control InformationThe LogicCommand word contains the drive command bit information, such as Stop, Start, Forward, Reverse,and Clear Faults.

The FreqCommand word contains the commanded reference value for the drive to run.

DatalinksDatalinks are pointers to drive and/or other port parameters. Instead of offering fixed I/O assemblies where what-you-see-is-what-you-get, our drive I/O assembly is dynamic and gives the programmer the ability to pick & choosethe desired parameters to communicate as network I/O.

14. To configure the Input and Output datalinks, click the button to open the respective parameter selection list. Take

some time to scroll through the available Input and Output Datalink parameter selections.

Where do you think the drive configuration data gets stored?

The drive configuration data for each node is actually stored in your Studio 5000 project (the .ACD file)! It also resides in

the ControlLogix when the .ACD is downloaded to the controller. This provides a convenient local resource for a nodes

configuration settings should the node need replacing. Just connect to the controller, open the drives AOP and download

the configuration!

Exercise 6: Automatic Device Configuration (ADC) with the PowerFlex 525 AC drive

About Automatic Device Conf iguration (ADC)

Automatic Device Configuration (ADC) is an RSLogix 5000 (version 20) and Logix Designer (version 21 or greater) feature that

supports the automatic download of configuration data upon the Logix controller establishing an EtherNet/IP network connection

to a PowerFlex 525 drive and its associated peripherals.

IMPORTANT:

ADC isNOTavailable for DSI peripherals.

ADC isNOTavailable in Multi-drive mode.

ADC is only available when the drive is connected using the embedded EtherNet/IP adapter or futureEtherNet/IP DLR adapter to a compatible controller.

An RSLogix 5000 (version 20) or Logix Designer (version 21 or greater) project (.ACD file) contains the configuration settings for

any PowerFlex drives in the project. When the project is downloaded to the Logix controller, these settings are also transferred

and reside in the controllers memory. Prior to ADC in RSLogix 5000 (version 20) or Logix Designer (version 21 or greater),

downloading PowerFlex 525 configuration data was a manual process where the user would open the Drive tab in the respective

drive Add-On Profile (AOP) in the application and click on the Download icon. ADC now automates the process and saves the

user time. It is particularly beneficial in a drive replacement situation when a production line is down.

NOTE:

At this point in time, Automatic Device Configuration (ADC) is only available for the following PowerFlexdrives:

PowerFlex 525 via Embedded Ethernet (EENET) and Dual Port Ethernet (E2P)

PowerFlex 755 (Version 4.001) via Embedded Ethernet (EENET) and Dual Port Ethernet (ENETR)

PowerFlex 753 (version 7.001) via Dual Port Ethernet (ENETR)

ADC can also work in tandem with Firmware Supervisor. If Firmware Supervisor is set up and enabled for a drive (Exact Match

keying must be used), and if the respective ControlFLASH firmware kit is installed on the computer, the drive/peripheral will be

automatically flashed (if necessary) prior to any ADC operation.

IMPORTANT:

Logix owns the configuration of the drive. ADC will be triggered any time the Logix controller detects aconfiguration signature mismatch when establishing an EtherNet/IP network I/O connection.

The use of other configuration tools, such as a HIM or Connected Components Workbench software shouldbe minimized and restricted to monitor-only operation. Any configuration changes made by these tools willcause a configuration signature mismatch the next time the Logix controller connects to the device and ADC

will write over any changes made by the other tool(s). Any drive configuration changes should be made withthe drive Add-On Profile.

For more information in regards to the PowerFlex 525 and Automatic Device Configuration (ADC), refer to the PowerFlex 525

Embedded EtherNet/IP Adapter User Manual.

2. Click on the Drivetab.

The drive AOP requires user action to enable ADC. This helps ensure that the user understands ADC operation prior

to turning it on. The drive AOPs also have an ADC icon on the Drive tab that shows if ADC is enabled (green arrow) or

disabled (gray arrow) for the respective drive.

3. Click on theADC button.

This will open the Automatic Device Configuration setup window.

4. The picture below shows how you would enable or disable Automatic Device Configuration (ADC) for the PowerFlex

525 drive and its peripherals (if applicable). Click

11. Automatic Device Configuration (ADC) will cause the transition to run to be longer. Click theOK

button to confirm / acknowledge the following window.

NOTE: ADC will cause the tranistion to run to be longer

12. Notice that the PowerFlex 525 drive will get a F048 Parameters Defaul tedfault on the LCD Keypad display. This is

normal and the first step of the Automatic Device Configuration process. The drive is now being configured.

13. Go back to the I/O Configuration tree; you will notice a Yellow triangle next to the PowerFlex 525 drive (PF525_Drive).

Click once on the drive to highlight/select it. You will notice that the drives connection status is in a Configuring state.

NOTE: It will take about one (1) minute for the PowerFlex 525 drive to be configured.

14. Once the ADC process has completed, the drives connection status will go from Configuring to Running

ADC will automatically reset (power cycle) the drive as part of the configuration process. This is donebecause some parameters require a reset before they take effect. If a drive is being replaced with an out-of-the-box drive, you will typically see one or more resets during the ADC process.

You have comp leted the Drive Programming w ith th e PowerFlex 525 AC Drives Lab.
