MotionView Software Configuration Chapter 5
Indexing Category
The software for the onboard indexing operation is accessed via the MotionView
software and is also configurable over the EtherNet/IP connection by using
explicit messaging in RSLogix 5000 and RSLogix 500 software.
In Indexing mode, the Kinetix 300 drive begins executing indexes based on either
a command received over the EtherNet/IP connection or immediately upon
assertion of the hardware enable signal.
Table 50 - Indexing Category
An index controls drive operation when Drive mode is set to Indexing in the
General category. The drive starts indexing at the index whose number (0
…31) is
reflected in the cumulative binary values of the Index Select 0, 1, 2, 3, and 4 that
are selected in the Digital Inputs category.
The digital input Index Select binary values are as follows:
• Index Select 0 = 1 if active, 0 if not.
• Index Select 1 = 2 if active, 0 if not.
• Index Select 2 = 4 if active, 0 if not.
• Index Select 3 = 8 if active, 0 if not.
• Index Select 4 = 16 if active, 0 if not.
If an Index Select is not assigned to a digital input, the Index Select is considered
inactive.
