About This Publication - Allen-Bradley Kinetix 5500 series Quick Start Manual

About This Publication

This quick start provides examples and procedures for integrating a Kinetix® 5500 drive into any Logix5000™ control
system over an EtherNet/IP network. The programming examples are not complex, and offer easy solutions to verify that
the devices function and communicate properly.
This publication describes example procedures that you can complete when using a Kinetix 5500 drive over an EtherNet/IP
IMPORTANT
network. The tasks that are described are not the only tasks you can complete when using a Kinetix 5500 drive in a typical
Logix5000 control system.
This quick start describes how to use one device on one network in a Logix5000 control system. Typically, a Logix5000
control system, operating on an EtherNet/IP network, includes a controller, power supply, and communication modules.
But, in addition, the system can also include remote I/O modules, servo and/or AC drives, and HMI terminals.
Other quick starts describe how to use different devices on various networks in Logix5000 control systems. For more
information, see Integrated Architecture™: Logix5000 Control Systems Quick Starts Quick Reference, publication
IASIMP-QR024.
