Preface About This Publication This quick start provides examples and procedures for including a PowerFlex® 525 drive in a Logix5000™ control system over an EtherNet/IP network. The programming examples are not complex, and offer easy solutions to verify that devices are communicating and functioning properly. IMPORTANT This publication describes example tasks you complete when using a PowerFlex 525 drive on an EtherNet/IP network.
Preface Table 1 - Required Tasks to Complete before Using This Quick Start (continued) 6 Task Description Prepare the computer Installing the necessary software on your computer, for example, RSLogix 5000 software or Logix Designer application. Configure the networks Completing required tasks associated with the networks used in your application, such as assigning an IP address to the controller’s communication port or communication module in your Logix5000 control system.
Preface Controller and Other Component Quick Starts This quick start describes how to use one device on one network in a Logix5000 control system. Typically, though, a Logix5000 control system includes more than the controller and one device on one network. For example, if a Logix5000 control system operates on an EtherNet/IP network, in addition to a controller, power supply, and communication modules, the system can use remote I/O modules, drives, and graphic terminals.

Prepare the PowerFlex 525 Drive Hardware Chapter 1 Mount the Drive The PowerFlex 525 drive must be mounted on a flat, vertical, and level surface (or DIN rail), following the requirements for minimum clearances, ambient operating temperature, and debris protection. For complete mounting instructions, see the PowerFlex 525 Adjustable Frequency AC Drive User Manual, publication 520-UM001. Install Power Wiring Follow these steps to access the power terminals and connect the power wires.
Chapter 1 Prepare the PowerFlex 525 Drive Hardware • For frame A dives, press down and pull out on the top cover of the control module, then hold the sides and pull the control module out of the power module. Press Down on Tab and Pull Out on Cover Power Module Control Module Hold Sides of Control Module and Pull Out 2. Press and hold down the locking tab on the terminal guard, and slide the terminal guard down to remove from the power module.
Prepare the PowerFlex 525 Drive Hardware 3. Connect the AC power conductors to the drive terminals as described in the following table and tighten the screws according to the torque specifications listed in the drive user manual.
Chapter 1 Prepare the PowerFlex 525 Drive Hardware Configure the Embedded EtherNet/IP Adapter The PowerFlex 525 Embedded EtherNet/IP network adapter requires a network IP address to operate on an EtherNet/IP network. There are two methods for configuring the embedded EtherNet/IP adapter IP address: • BOOTP Server – Use BOOTP if you prefer to control the IP addresses of devices with a server. The IP address, subnet mask, and gateway addresses are provided by the BOOTP server. BOOTP is enabled by default.
Prepare the PowerFlex 525 Drive Hardware Chapter 1 6. From the Tools menu, choose Network Settings. 7. Type the Subnet Mask of the network. The Gateway address, Primary and/or Secondary DNS address, and Domain Name fields are optional. 8. Click OK. The Request History panel appears with the hardware addresses of all devices issuing BOOTP requests. 9. Select the appropriate device, that is, the device with the MAC ID that matches your PowerFlex 525 drive. 10. Click Add to Relation List.
Chapter 1 Prepare the PowerFlex 525 Drive Hardware 13. To permanently assign this configuration to the adapter, wait for the adapter to appear in the Relation List panel and select it. 14. Click Disable BOOTP/DHCP. When power is cycled, the adapter uses the assigned configuration and does not issue a BOOTP request. IMPORTANT If you do not click Disable BOOTP/DHCP, on a power cycle, the host controller clears the current IP configuration and begins sending BOOTP requests again.
Chapter 2 Add a PowerFlex 525 Drive to a Controller Project In this chapter, you add a PowerFlex 525 drive to a controller project and configure the drive. You also download the project to the controller so you can verify communication with the drive.
