The Allen-Bradley Kinetix 6500 is said to be the first high-performance, modular servo drive to leverage embedded EtherNet/IP technology for integrated motion control.
The EtherNet/IP drive support available with the Kinetix 6500 helps
eliminate the need for a dedicated motion network and allows
high-performance drives, I/O, smart actuators and any other
EtherNet/IP-connected device to be supported on a common network. When
used with the Allen-Bradley ControlLogix programmable automation
controller, the Kinetix 6500 drive helps to provide increased machine
design flexibility, improved system performance and reduced system cost.
Integrated motion on EtherNet/IP within the Kinetix 6500 servo drive
uses CIP Motion, an extension of the Common Industrial Protocol (CIP)
from the Open DeviceNet Vendors Association (ODVA). The Kinetix 6500
drive also offers advanced safety features, such as safe stop, zero
speed monitoring, safe direction monitoring and safe maximum
acceleration monitoring. Rockwell Automation Inc. www.ab.com/motion414.382.2000
