Integration

Premier Integration with PowerFlex® AC Drives

RSLogix™ 5000 v16 and higher drive add-on profiles streamline drives installation with EtherNet/IP™ and ControlNet™ networks by eliminating the task of individually programming the required parameters and tags. You no longer have to complete complicated programming functions when installing PowerFlex drives or constantly refer back to user manuals for specific parameter and tag information.

Premier Integration reduces development time by providing profiles, parameters and standardized tags that users can easily install using a pick list. And, copy and paste programming makes configuring multiple drives effortless.

• Use one software tool to configure the entire Logix platform / drive system
• Controller and drive network connections are configured at the same time
• Dynamically select drive parameters transmitted as network I/O
• Auto-generation of descriptive tag names
• Auto-generation of respective tag data types
• All drive configurations are saved in the RSLogix project file and in the Logix controller, providing a single repository of configuration data for device replacement
