i have an application that involves over 30 AB Powerflex 70's and 6 AB Powerflex 700's all on ControlNet.
this is my first controllogix application and the first time i have worked with these AB drives.
i have written a control sequence for each part of the application in RSLogix5000.
now i am at the point of having to set up the drives and write the code to start, stop, send speed reference, jog, etc. in addition, i have to findout how to use the drives to do point to point positioning with incremental encoders.
because of the magnitude of the job, i have been spending time just trying to get the sequences where i want them and have not had time yet to learn about the drives.
the local drive rep is not responding to my requests for assistance so i am interested in finding someone who has worked with these drives and controllogix to get me up to speed in a very short time.
i feel that if i can just get a handle on dealing with one drive, i should have no problem duplicating the process with all of the drives since i now understand what needs to be done control wise with the machine.
