Description: A new integrated drive configuration feature for powerflex AC drives now available in RSLogix 5000 v.16 software allows users of Allen-Bradley PowerFlex drives to consolidate drive system configuration, operation and maintenance into a single, integrated environment. Called Premier Integration this capability helps reduce programming, installation and overall ownership costs by minimising the number of software tools required. Additional benefits include faster startup, improved accuracy and easier drive system maintenance. Integrated drive configuration allows users to configure both controller and drive network connections from a single location, which minimises the potential for errors when defining the Ethernet/IP or ControlNet network I/O. This feature also eliminates the task of individually programming the required parameters and tags. As a result, users no longer have to complete complicated programming functions when installing PowerFlex drives or constantly refer back to user manuals for specific parameter and tag information. To ease maintenance and improve access to information, drive configuration data is saved as part of the RSLogix project file and also stored in the Logix controller. As a result, there is no need to store and maintain multiple files - users only need one file for both the controller and all drive configurations.
