Kinetix 350 and CompactLogix

[IT Ace]

Hi Everyone.
New to the forum and this is my first post. Does anyone have, or know where I can obtain, sample code for using a Kinetix 350 with a CompactLogix 5333ERM controller. I'm not after doing anything clever but, I have to cut my teeth on servo drives for the first time and any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in anticipation. IT Ace

There are samples available right on AB website.

Hi Damian. Thanks for the reply. I have had a good look through their website but with no luck. If you get a chance, could you post a link to where they've hidden the Kinetix350/CompactLogix sample code.
Many thanks again. IT Ace

Good luck!

Thanks Nightline.
I followed the link but I still can't find any specific code examples for the Kinetix 350 and the CompactLogix. Perhapss I'm just looking in the wrong place! If anyone does know where to look I would be grateful.
Thanks so far to everyone thats helped.

Please tell me exact what you want to do with your servo system.
I ask you this because I had an application where the sample code didn't work. If you need a simple index drive, it's easier to program something for your self.
What are your problems with this servo-system?

Hi Jack
Thanks for getting back.
I don't really have any problems with this servo system other than I have never programmed any type of servo before and development time is a bit of an issue. The system is a really simple one axis application but I am starting from scratch and at the moment a lot of the terminology is new to me (eg index drive). I have got to try and hit the ground running and I just thought if there was sample code out there for a Kinetix 350 with a CompactLogix 5333ERM it would save some of the time that I don't have!
Thanks again for your help.

In RSLogix 5000 you will find sample programs, and one of them is called: Motion.acd, perhaps you can use this one...

Thanks Jack. I'll take a look.

Hi Again Jack
Just had a quick look and it definitely looks like something I can use.
Many thanks for your help.
