We have announced a new range of products and enhanced features that help provide drive control performance and closed loop and open EtherNet / IP. This new range helps increase the flexibility of machine design, improves performance and reduces system cost by providing all the capabilities of motion control solution integrated into the new Kinetix 6500 servo Allen-Bradley and PowerFlex AC Drive 755 Allen-Bradley EtherNet / IP.
With RSLogix 5000 from Rockwell Software, machine builders can now access all the features and benefits of integrated motion control to configure, program, implement and maintain the Kinetix 6500 and PowerFlex 755 in EtherNet / IP. In addition to a uniform standardized operation and performance drive products, this new book expands the power range of motion control solution offering integrated support for the servo drives and variable speed AC. Drive Support EtherNet / IP also eliminates the need for a network dedicated motion control and allows a common network support high-performance drives, I / S, smart actuators and other devices connected to EtherNet / IP.
Adding motion control solutions to our security control, process and discrete on a common network offers our customers the flexibility to use a large number of tools and devices, provides motion control world class art and opens the door to innovation implementation. CIP Motion is a technological paradigm shift for system designers looking to integrate motion control with the general architecture of network in a common network. The availability of the products EtherNet / IP with CIP Motion from ODVA members exemplifies the innovation that EtherNet / IP has been achieved in the use of standard Ethernet, unmodified, on a substantial suite of industrial control applications.
The new programmable automation controllers (PACs) ControlLogix L73 and L75 ControlLogix Allen-Bradley offers users an optimized memory technology, motion control, EtherNet / IP high-performance and performance improvements in redundancy. These PACs are ideal for applications requiring rapid expansion and intense use of information, such as batch processing that require additional memory to manage recipes. As part of the Integrated Architecture, Rockwell Automation, ControlLogix PACs offer users all the advantages inherent in the popular Logix control platform for the company, a common programming environment, common network and common control engine, for maximum ease of use.
The new Kinetix 6500 servo drive is a high performance modular EtherNet / IP built. When used with the ControlLogix PAC, the Kinetix 6500 servo drive solution provides a built-in EtherNet / IP. With the addition of Kinetix 6500, EtherNet / IP can be integrated drive control, high-performance I / S, smart actuators and other devices connected to EtherNet / IP, which helps reduce system cost and improves performance system and the ease of use. Ring topologies at the device level (DLR) and linear are fully compatible with built-in switch technology.
The PowerFlex 755 AC drive with an Ethernet port is being upgraded for compatibility with CIP Motion. The PowerFlex 755 AC drive can now configure, schedule, implement and maintain using profiles and sets of instructions in the RSLogix 5000 software. This allows the use of motion control instructions integrated and coordinated drive control provides a common solution for PowerFlex 755 AC drives and servo Kinetix 6500. With the addition of the PowerFlex 755 AC drive, integrated motion can now be used to control variable 1 Hp to 350 Hp.
For end users and equipment manufacturers, the latest version of RSLogix 5000 includes more than 30 product enhancements such as support for integrated motion control on EtherNet / IP, ControlLogix L73 PACs and L75 ControlLogix, Kinetix 6500 servo drives and inverters PowerFlex 755 AC, and additional driver support and useful features, reporting and security. These new capabilities help simplify programming and configuration and ease maintenance and troubleshooting of control and information systems.
