Motion Control Requirements
The Logix approach to motion control employs synchronized, distributed processing and
provides a highly-integrated motion solution. Logix integrates sequential and motion
control to bring unmatched flexibility to machine design and unprecedented efficiency to
the manufacturing floor. RSLogix 5000 Enterprise series software supports a
comprehensive set of embedded motion instructions that can be programmed using the
relay ladder, structured text, or sequential function chart editors.
The Logix architecture supports motion components that work in a wide variety of
machine architectures.
y The Kinetix integrated motion solution uses a SERCOS interface module to perform
complex, multi-axis, synchronized motion. With a Kinetix system, you reap the full
benefit of the integrated architecture because the integration doesn’t stop at the
controller. This system integrates the drive, the motor, and even the actuator at a lower
cost per axis of motion.
y Networked motion provides the ability to connect via the DeviceNet network to a single-
axis drive to perform simple, point-to-point indexing. You need Ultraware software for
drive and indexing configuration.

Some servo drives are supported through communication interface modules. The controller
can communicate with these servo drives over these networks:

Each drive has different options you order for its supported communication networks. See the appropriate catalog or selection information for a drive to make sure you select the appropriate option when specifying a drive for a
specific network.
