My counterpart and I spent the whole day today trying to setup a SLC500 to send a start command and speed reference to 20 HP powerflex 753 today. We downloaded Rockwell's manuals on the controlling the drive via Ethernet and went through the example using msg functions to send info to the drive. We tried to Betty Crocker the code as best we could but could never get it to work. We were able to set up a working EEM message to write the desired speed to parameter 546, but never got the drive to start and run. We should have most of the morning to get it working, but after lunch we will have drop back and punt and go old school terminal control to get it going if we haven't figured it out. Any insight into making this work would be appreciated. I hate to concede defeat.
