Before you begin
Before you begin this hands-on lab, please be sure to close any applications that are currently running.
Also, make sure that there is an Ethernet cable going from the PC to the Ethernet switch in the demo unit.
Prerequisite is to be familiar with the uses of a computer, Internet Explorer web browser, RSLogix5000
software and ladder programming.
About this lab
The versatile Kinetix 300 drive can be used in many ways; the most simplistic of these being as a stand-
alone drive. But, where the Kinetix 300 really shines is with its ability to receive motion parameters and
configuration information over an Ethernet/IP connection from a Logix controller.
For example, what if the operator is required to enter new production speeds or move distances for point-
to-point moves? Or, what if the end user desires some sort of recipe management system for a variety of
index moves? The Kinetix 300 can accomplish this and we will explore some of the advanced feature of
drive.
The following sections explain what you’ll be doing in this lab session, and what you will need to do to
complete the hands-on exercises.
What You Will Accomplish In This Lab
As you complete the exercises in this hands-on session, you will:
Configure and tune the Kinetix 300 drive and motor system via the onboard drive software.
Configure and command the drive in indexing mode.
Add the Kinetix 300 drive to a Logix file and command a position motion profile move by using the
Input/Output Assembly objects in the drive.
Configure an indexing AOI (Add-On Instruction) and execute the index motion profile.
Configure and execute a stitched index
