shock or burn. Verify that the voltage on the bus capacitors has
discharged before connecting to the communication ports.
Measure the DC bus voltage at the +DC & -DC terminals on the
Power Terminal Block. The voltage must be zero.
During the process of configuring ControlNet communication you will need
to connect or disconnect a programming or network cable at the controller.
You should do this only if the drive is de-energized.
1. Turn off and lock out input power. Wait five minutes.
2. Verify that there is no voltage at the drive's input power terminals.
3. Measure the DC bus voltage at the +DC & -DC terminals on the Power
Terminal Block. The voltage must be zero.
4. Connect or disconnect the programming or network cable.
5. Turn power back on and proceed with configuring ControlNet
communication.
For the DriveLogix5730 controller to operate on a ControlNet network, you
need:
• a workstation with an appropriate ControlNet communication
daughtercard
• a 1788-CNx communication daughtercard installed in the DriveLogix
communication slot
• RSLinx software to configure the ControlNet communication driver
• RSLogix 5000 programming software to configure the 1788-CNx
communication daughtercard as part of the DriveLogix system
• RSNetWorx software to schedule the DriveLogix system on the network
Configuring the Hardware
Before you can connect the DriveLogix system to the ControlNet network,
you must configure the 1788-CNx communication daughtercard and make
