Important User Information
Solid state equipment has operational characteristics differing from those of
electromechanical equipment. “Safety Guidelines for the Application, Installation and
Maintenance of Solid State Controls” (Publication SGI-1.1 available from your local
Rockwell Automation Sales Office or online at http://www.ab.com/manuals/gi)
describes some important differences between solid state equipment and
hard-wired electromechanical devices. Because of this difference, and also
because of the wide variety of uses for solid state equipment, all persons
responsible for applying this equipment must satisfy themselves that each
intended application of this equipment is acceptable.

Use this manual:
• when you are ready to integrate your application with the PowerFlex
700S drive, I/0 devices, controllers, and networks in your system.
• after you perform these actions:
– develop the basic code for your application
– perform isolated tests of your application
This manual is divided into the basic tasks that you perform while
programming a DriveLogix controller. Each chapter covers a main task, such
as communicating over a specific network. For each main task, the chapter:
• lists what you need
• describes the steps to follow to accomplish that task
• provides details for each step, as necessary
• includes example system configurations
Controller Firmware Revision
This revision of the DriveLogix User Manual corresponds to the following:

Introduction
ControlLogix controller acting as
centralized controller
DriveLogix controller using an
RS-232 connection
This chapter introduces the DriveLogix controller and provides a quick
overview on creating and downloading a project. The steps in this chapter
introduce the basic aspects of the DriveLogix controller.
The DriveLogix controller offers state-of-art control, communications, and
I/O elements in a embedded control package.

DriveLogix controllers, each with a 1788-CNC, -CNCR card,
linked over ControlNet link
This example DriveLogix system demonstrates:
• Centralized control using a ControlLogix™ controller to coordinate
several DriveLogix controllers.
• Distributed control using DriveLogix controllers at several locations.
• DriveLogix controller controlling a maximum of 8 local I/O modules.
• Local RS-232 connection for remote upload/download of a controller
project, for DF1 master/slave communications, or for ASCII
programming.
• Networked DriveLogix controllers using 1788-CNC, -CNCR
communication daugthercards to connect ControlNet links.
• Remote programming over ControlNet and EtherNet/IP.
