Configuration Choices

There are two main ways to configure a SINAMICS G drive to communicate over
EtherNet/IP. The approach described in this note uses Add On Instructions with a
Generic Ethernet Module. This approach requires version 19 or higher for RSLogix
5000.
Alternatively, the drive can be set up for ODVA type configuration. This allows the
user to import a ODVA G120 EDS file to use the drive as an ODVA AC drive
object. This approach requires version 20 or higher for RSLogix 5000. A newer
option is an EDS file that works with Telegram 352 and setting P8990 to 0
(SINAMICS). This EDS path is discussed in a separate application note.
