Chapter 9 Develop Motion Applications
• CompactLogix 5480 controllers support single-axis motor control with
PowerFlex variable-frequency drives over an EtherNet/IP network.
For more information, see the following:
• Integrated Motion on the EtherNet/IP network Configuration and
Startup User Manual, publication
MOTION-UM003.
• Integrated Motion on the EtherNet/IP network Reference Manual,
Publication
MOTION-RM003.
You can associate Integrated Motion axes to any appropriate drive.
Motion Applications
The following are general steps to configure a motion application. The
configuration process varies, based on your application and drive selection.
1. Create a controller project.
2. Add a drive to the I/O configuration of the project.
3. Create and configure logical axes, and associate them with physical
drives or virtual axes.
4. Create and configure a Motion Group.
5. Assign Axes to the Motion Group.
6. Specify the motor data source.
7. Display the motor model information.
8. Assign Motor Feedback.
9. Configure the load feedback.
10. Configure the master feedback.
11. Commission an axis.
12. Home an axis.
13. Optionally create and configure Coordinate Systems.
14. Write user logic to control motion.
15. Optionally tune the physical drives for the attached loads.
For more information on how to configure a motion application, see the
Integrated Motion on the EtherNet/IP Network Configuration and Startup
User Manual, publication
MOTION-UM003.
IMPORTANT The CompactLogix 5480 controllers do not support Analog or
SERCOS motion.
