Chapter 5 Connect the Kinetix 6000 Drive System
Sercos Fiber-optic Cable 
Connections
This procedure assumes you have your Logix5000™ Sercos interface module/
PCI card and Kinetix 6000 IAM/AM modules mounted and are ready to 
connect the fiber-optic cables.
The Sercos fiber-optic ring is connected by using the Sercos receive (Rx) and 
transmit (Tx) connectors. Refer to page 58
 to locate the Sercos connectors on 
your Kinetix 6000 IAM/AM module and IPIM module. Refer to the figure 
below to locate the connectors on your Logix5000 Sercos interface module or 
PCI card.
Plastic cable is available in lengths up to 32 m (105.0 ft). Glass cable is available 
in lengths between 50 m (164.2 ft) and 200 m (656.7 ft).
Figure 73 - CompactLogix, ControlLogix, and SoftLogix Sercos Connectors
Connect the cable from transmit on the Logix5000 module to receive on the 
IAM/AM or IPIM module, then transmit to receive (drive to drive), and from 
transmit on the last drive back to receive on the Logix5000 module.
SoftLogix and ControlLogix controllers are used in the following examples; 
however, CompactLogix controllers connect in the same manner.

Application
ATTENTION: To avoid damage to the Sercos Rx and Tx connectors, use only 
finger-tight torque when attaching the fiber-optic cables to the Kinetix 6000 
IAM/AM modules and IPIM module. Do not use a wrench or any other 
mechanical assistance.
