Appendix A CIP Drive Module Properties
Associated Axes Tab
The Associated Axes tab provides different functions depending on the drive you
are configuring.
Kinetix 6500 and PowerFlex 755 Drives
For the Kinetix 6500 and PowerFlex 755, use the Associated Axes tab to do the
following:
• Associate an axis from a list of axis tags.
• Create axis tags.
• Choose the Motor Feedback Device.
• Choose the Load Feedback Device.
• Choose the Master Feedback Device.
Each Kinetix 6500 drive module can have one full axis and one half axis. You
assign the full (primary) axis as Axis 1: the (half ) secondary axis as Axis 2. If you
change the listed properties of Major Revision, feedback configuration, or power
structure, the axis association is removed.
When you remove an association, either by changing the module definition or
selecting a different axis, causes the following to be reset:
• Association in the axis
• References to motors in the axis
• References to feedback devices in the axis
• Access the Axis Property category dialog boxes
Kinetix 350 Drive
For the Kinetix 350, use the Associated Axes tab to do the following:
• Associate an axis from a list of axis tags.
• Create axis tags.
Each drive module can have one full axis. If you change the drive’s Major Revision
module property, you will remove the axis association. The feedback
configuration and power structure module properties are fixed.
When you remove an association, either by changing the module definition or
selecting a different axis causes the following to be reset:
• Association in the axis.
• References to motors in the axis.
• References to feedback devices in the axis.
• Access the Axis Property category dialog boxes.
TIP
Only the Kinetix 6500 drive supports a half axis.
