text: <s>[INST] Kinetix drivers Summary: Load the parameters setting automatically from PLC programHello, 1-Is it possible to load the parameters setting automatically for Kinetix 300 using RS Logix 5000 ? If this possible,explain how to do it? 2-For the Kintix drivers which the parameters loaded automatically from PLC program,when replace the driver with another,it should use another one with the same type or it possible to use any equivalent one? Best regards......... [/INST] Mr. PLC, the K300 isn't really intended to function that way. The K350 WILL do what you want, automatically. The K2000, K6000, K6300, K6500 will as well. The K300 drive is intended to be a stand-alone indexing drive. It IS possible to send move commands (position, speed, accel, etc.). There are add-on instructions available in the Motion Accelerator Toolkit to run a K300 from Logix5000. I've never tried to change any configuration parameters of a K300 drive from Logix, however. If you have not already purchased the K300 drive, I strongly suggest you switch over to the K350. The K350 is intended to be controlled from a Logix environment. All of the drive parameters are set and adjusted from Logix, are stored with the Logix application. To answer your second question, if you replace a Kinetix drive with an equivalent one, you should not have to do anything at all. If you put in a drive from the same family but larger power, you may have to adjust some parameters in the I/O tree and the axis properties. If you replace one Kinetix drive with another of a completely different family (say, replace a K350 with a K6000), you will likely have a number of parameters to adjust, but it wouldn't take long. \\n </s>
