Kinetix 5100 Servo Drive Control Port
The Kinetix 5100 servo drives use an EtherNet/IP network for communicating
to either a ControlLogix or CompactLogix programmable automation
controller, by using a Class 1 EtherNet/IP connection (with a pre-defined Add-
On-Profile) or Class 3 connection by using Explicit messaging.
All Kinetix 5100 servo drives include two RJ45 ports that support 10/100 Mb
communication speeds. Ethernet topologies including linear, ring, and star.

Configuration and Programming Software
Ultraware software is used to configure and program the Ultra3000 drives. For
information on how to use Ultraware software, see the Ultraware Software
User Manual, publication 2098-UM001
.
KNX5100C software is used to configure the drive. For information on how to
use KNX5100C software, see the Kinetix 5100 User Manual,
publication 2198-UM004
. Depending on the controller used in the application,
Studio 5000 Logix Designer application (for ControlLogix, CompactLogix),
Connected Components Workbench™ software (for Micro800-Series
controllers), or RSLogix 500® software (for MicroLogix controllers) is required
to program the controller for controlling the Kinetix 5100 drives. For
information on how to use these programs, see the corresponding controller
user manuals.
