Chapter 1 Configure Integrated Motion Control Using Kinetix Drives
Create a Motion Group
All axes must be added to the Motion Group in your project. If you don’t group
the axes, they remain ungrouped and unavailable for use. You can only have one
Motion Group per Logix controller.
You can have eight Position Loop axes per 1756-EN2T module. Each drive
requires one TCP and one CIP connection. If you have other devices that
consume TCP connections on the module, it reduces the number of drives you
can support.
Follow these instructions to create a motion group.
1. Click New Group.
2. Typ e a Tag name.
3. Type a description, if desired.
4. Choose the Tag Type.

(1) Multiple controllers can control drives on a common 1756-ENxTx module, so based on the TCP connection limit, up to 128 can be supported.
(2) Only the drives/axes configured for Position Loop are limited. Frequency Control, Velocity Loop, and Torque Loop configured drives/axes are not limited.
(3) If more than the maximum I/O modules are configured in the I/O tree under Embedded Ethernet, then you get a Project Verify Error:
Error: Maximum number of nodes on the local Ethernet port has been exceeded.
