I'm currently desigining a project that will have a few drives connected to a control logix PLC. I will be connecting to the drives and controlling the drives through Ethernet/IP and 1756-ENBT.
It is really simple to do this with an AB drive as you just add it as a new IO module under the ENBT card and Logix5000 inserts a ready to go tag.
I can also use DriveExecutive to browse through the controller right into the drive and configure the drive.
What I want to know is if the same ease and functionality exists with ABB drives on a ControlLogix? And will I be able to configure it over the network? If so, what software would I need?
Using ABB drives could save quite a bit of money on this project.
