Great

Thanks for the demonstration! Really useful. I don’t understand what pushes people to use Siemens drives and HMIs with AB PLCs. I saw such a machines in different factories and it’s a really weird. You have to pay for both softwares Tia Portal and Studio 5000 and I wouldn’t say that AB PLC are so good that you should stick to them. It’s way more efficient to use only one brand.

You don't have to use portal to setup the G120 for AB plcs I just own both platforms so I used portal. You make a good point though. I will do another Video showing how to use the Drive to setup its parameters with out portal for this application. My preference for drives is Siemens. In my experience the Siemens drive performs better when match to the same HP or KW motor. When I do jobs that request AB drives I always step up one size on the drive to motor power. This has made my drives last longer. Remember these are just my expirences while in the field.

Plus the basic version is free no license

Can you reply and tell me the tag name for current feedback? I'm about to put a G120X via ethernet into a ControlLogix PLC (L84) sometime tomorrow or early next week for a customer, so I haven't gone through the AOI yet or downloaded it so it may be obvious once I dig into it, but I think I'm going to follow this process and just point the data I/O to my custom control module (AOI) that I call P_VSD, essentially it's a P_VFD plantpax block that I modified to work with any motor type, hard wired, e300, VFD's etc just based on what value you put in it'll swap it's functionality accordingly even in the plantPAX graphics. I'm pretty sure I'd be able to figure it out, but if there's anything I need to know please do because there's a lot more things I'll need from the VFD than what you displayed here. Thanks in advance friend, cheers!

Thank you very much for the tutorial! I have a question: If I don't have access to Siemens software, am I still able to set up the drive for comms to the rockwell PLC? We're trying to control the drive, but also have it transmit one of its analog input values over to the PLC.

[@PLCAutomationTraining]

Yes right from the HIM you can do everything,the software is a free download

[@LukeVader77]

@@PLCAutomationTraining Which program are you using, TIA portal? I didn't know it was free 😯

[@PLCAutomationTraining]

@LukeVader77 the basic version doesn't need a license. here is the link support.industry.siemens.com/cs/document/109807137/sinamics-startdrive-v18?dti=0&lc=en-WW

[@PLCAutomationTraining]

@LukeVader77 what type of application are you wanting to do? I can help get you started

[@felipepimenteldasilva2677]

Hello, Good tutorial!!!!!! Thanks for all the tips. Can you share the L5k.file? Thanks.

[@PLCAutomationTraining]

I will look for it or make a newer video and get it for you!

[@bovas35]

Good tutorial / thank you It is not very common to use AB PLC and Siemens Drive

[@PLCAutomationTraining]

Lately it's been going this way, lot more siemens drives being installed, even seeing the plcs being changed. To siemens.

Can you help me to connect ABB drive ACS880 with devicenet communication parameters with Allen Bradley PLC Rslogix 5000

Abb has a fdna aop

Hi, are you stilling making videos now?

[@PLCAutomationTraining]

I am about to start making more, I was tied up with other stuff but will be back and going again soon!
