• The RS-485 network is configured. See Configuring the RS-485 Network
on page 91.
• The controller has been added to the I/O configuration. See Adding the
Controller to the I/O Configuration on page 40.
Adding the Drive to the I/O Configuration
To transmit data between the controller and the drive, you must add the drive as a
child device to the parent controller. In this example, RSLogix 5000 software
version 20 is used with drive Add-On Profile version 1.02 or later.
1. In the treeview, right-click on the icon and select New
Module… to display the Select Module window. Expand the Drives group
to display all of the available drives with their communication adapters.
2. In the Select Module Type window, select the drive and its connected
adapter from the list. For this example, we selected “Multi-Drive-25-
COMM-E2P.” Then click Create. The drive’s New Module window
appears.
If the PowerFlex drive is not shown, go to www.ab.com/support/
abdrives/webupdate and download the latest drive Add-On Profile.
