Chapter 6 Configure and Start the Kinetix 5700 Drive System
Understand Bus-sharing
Group Configuration
When configuring Module Properties>Power category for each Kinetix 5700
drive, you can breakout drives from one or more servo systems into multiple
bus-sharing (power) groups.
A drive that faults in Group 1 does not affect the operation of Group 2, even
though all of the drives in Groups 1 and 2 are in the same Motion group in the
Logix Designer application. As many as 25 bus-sharing groups are possible.
Figure 122 - Bus-sharing Group Configuration
IMPORTANT
When used with an iTRAK system consisting of L16 motor modules, the
iTRAK power supply is not configured as part of a bus-sharing group in
the Logix Designer application. The gateway computer monitors bus
status and controls enabling and disabling the iTRAK power supply. See
iTRAK System with TriMax Bearings User Manual, publication
2198T-UM002
.
When used with the iTRAK 5730 system, both primary and secondary
bus-sharing groups must be configured. See iTRAK 5730 System User
Manual, publication 2198T-UM003
, for more information.
