Communication
Kinetix 6000 servo drives use Sercos interface for communication. A Sercos
interface module serves as the link between the ControlLogix or
CompactLogix controller and the Kinetix 6000 servo drive system. The
communication link uses the IEC 61491 Serial Real-time Communication
System (SERCOS) protocol over a fiber-optic media.
Kinetix 5700 servo drives use the EtherNet/IP network for communicating to
either a ControlLogix or CompactLogix programmable automation controller.
All Kinetix 5700 servo drives include dual-port EtherNet/IP connectivity.
Supported Ethernet topologies include linear, ring, and star. For more
information on Ethernet design considerations, see these publications:
• Integrated Motion on SERCOS and EtherNet/IP Network - Analysis
and Comparison, publication MOTION-AT006
• Industrial Ethernet Media Brochure, publication 1585-BR001
• Guidance for Selecting Cables for EtherNet/IP Networks, publication
ENET-WP007
Controller Platforms, Ethernet Modules, and Stratix Switches
Although the controller platform used in your Kinetix 6000 drive system can
be compatible with the Kinetix 5700 drive system, the communication module
and network switch must support the EtherNet/IP network.
