The following new features and functionality have been added to this release of RSLogix 5000 software.
EtherNet/IP CIP Motion PowerFlex Support
With RSLogix 5000 software version 19, Integrated Motion on the EtherNet/IP network is now available for the PowerFlex 755 drive.
This provides a common configuration, commissioning, programming, and maintenance solution for Kinetix and PowerFlex 755 drives.
When operating in the Integrated Motion mode, all of the features and benefits of Logix Integrated Motion are available for the
PowerFlex 755 drive. This includes:
•
Motion configuration and commissioning tool support
•
Motion instruction set support including point-to-point motion, Time and position CAM motion, linear/circular interpolation, and
Kinematics,
•
Motion automatic device replacement support
•
Motion faults and alarms logging
If you are using a PowerFlex 755 drive, you should examine the Coarse Update Rate for the Motion Group to be sure of proper motion
execution timing with this new drive type.
CIP Motion Motor Test and Commutation Angle Test
Version 19 of RSLogix 5000 software now supports the defining and commissioning of third-party motors. Motor name plate data can
be directly entered using RSLogix 5000 software, and Motor Test and Commutation Angle Test utilities can be used to commission the
motor. This eliminates the need to use custom motor database files to support third-party motors.

configured to use Unicast connections over EtherNet/IP. With version 19.00 of RSLogix 5000 software, this capability is now extended
to include safety Produced/Consumed tags.
