New Add On Instructions for Allen Bradley software from Applied Motion Products

By Miles Budimir | September 27, 2018

Share

Applied Motion Products has released new Add On Instructions (AOI) for Rockwell Automation’s RSLogix 5000 software to better control industrial devices and motion control components over EtherNet/IP networks. The new Add On Instructions increase the capabilities of Applied Motion Products’ drives and integrated motors within the RSLogix 5000 environment, supporting a faster and easier integration into PLC projects.

Most of the new AOIs use implicit messaging, known as I/O messaging or polling, that simplify sending commands to the drive while making data received from the drive more PLC-friendly. The AOIs also reduce communications overhead to lighten the work required to integrate Applied Motion Products motors and drives into new and existing PLC programs.

software

Applied Motion offers twenty new AOIs that feature a range of commands and functionality including absolute, relative, jog, and homing moves; motor enable/disable; reading the drive and alarm status; and much more. The company specifically designed these free AOIs for motor and drive users to take advantage of its latest EtherNet/IP firmware.

Applied Motion Products offers a range of integrated motors and drives compatible with popular Rockwell PLCs such as ControlLogix and CompactLogix. Many of these products also feature dual-port Ethernet connections for easy integration into a variety of network topologies. Products include:

  • StepSERVO™ Integrated Motors: SSM, TSM and TXM series
  • Stepper Drives: ST5, ST10 and STAC5 series
  • Integrated Stepper Motors: STM and SWM series
  • SV200 Servo Drives

For a full list of integrated motors and drives that incorporate EtherNet/IP network communications, the widely used industrial protocol for manufacturing automation applications, refer to the website at www.applied-motion.com/products/series/ethernetip-products.
