Before you begin

Before you begin this hands-on lab, please be sure to close any applications that are currently running.
Also, make sure that there is an Ethernet cable going from the PC to the Ethernet switch in the demo unit.
Prerequisite is to be familiar with the uses of a computer, Internet Explorer web browser, RSLogix5000
software and ladder programming.

About this lab

The versatile Kinetix 300 drive can be used in many ways; the most simplistic of these being as a standalone drive. But, where the Kinetix 300 really shines is with its ability to receive motion parameters and
configuration information over an Ethernet/IP connection from a Logix controller.
For example, what if the operator is required to enter new production speeds or move distances for pointto-point moves? Or, what if the end user desires some sort of recipe management system for a variety of
index moves? The Kinetix 300 can accomplish this and we will explore some of the advanced feature of
drive.
The following sections explain what youll be doing in this lab session, and what you will need to do to
complete the hands-on exercises.

What You Will Accomplish In This Lab

As you complete the exercises in this hands-on session, you will:

Configure and tune the Kinetix 300 drive and motor system via the onboard drive software.

Configure and command the drive in indexing mode.

Add the Kinetix 300 drive to a Logix file and command a position motion profile move by using the
Input/Output Assembly objects in the drive.

Configure an indexing AOI (Add-On Instruction) and execute the index motion profile.

Configure and execute a stitched index

Tools & prerequisites

Software programs required:

Internet Explorer 6.0 or greater

The embedded web-based configuration tool included in the Kinetix 300 drive

RSLogix 5000 v19

5 of 51

Lab 1: See What the Kinetix 300 Can Do

The Kinetix 300 can operate in two modes when being controlled over Ethernet from a Logix Controller.
The modes are Ethernet/IP External Reference and Indexing.

Ethernet/IP External Reference:

In this Drive Mode, the controller program can take advantage of the Kinetix 300 Add-On Profile (AOP)
that is included in RSLogix5000 v19. After adding a Kinetix 300 drive to the I/O Configuration the AOP
creates an Input and Output TAG structure that can be used to read status information from the drive and
write configuration data to the drive.
The drive can then perform three different types of motion, based on application need. They are position,
velocity or current. In this lab we will demonstrate a simple point-to-point incremental position motion
profile.
Indexing:
In this Drive Mode, we can execute any of the 32 indexes configured in the drive or write indexes down to
the drive as needed via a message instruction. We will demonstrate how to write several index
configurations to the drive using an AOI and then execute them.

The following lab steps the user through loading the necessary files to get the Kinetix 300 servo drive up
and running to see some of its functionality in action.
In this lab, you will:

Download configuration file to the Kinetix 300 via MotionView software.

Download RSLogix5000 program file (.acd) to the Compact GuardLogix controller.

Run the drive to execute a velocity jog and configured index moves.

IMPORTANT: This demo unit processor contains a flash card with logic files that are designed to
download on a power cycle (demo unit power OFF/ON). WHEN YOU NEED TO CYCLE THE DEMO
POWER, YOU WILL NEED TO DOWNLOAD YOUR LAB PROGRAM (.ACD file) TO OVERWRITE THE
FLASH CARD LOGIC FILE!

This concludes Lab 1. The goal was to see how the Kinetix 300 can be controller via Ethernet. The
following labs will go into more detail on configuring the drive and program from the ground up.

12 of 51

Lab 2: Basic Drive Configuration

This lab allows the user to become familiar with the web-based configuration tool included in the Kinetix
300 drive.
In this lab, you will:

Open the drive configuration software and observe its features

Restore the drive to default settings and verify motor selection

Auto tune the motor for first usage

Create index motion profiles and spin the motor
Follow the steps below to complete Lab Section 1.

Initial Demo Setup

1. Make sure the demo unit is powered off.
2. Important: Disconnect the Ethernet cable going into the Ethernet module on the Compact
GuardLogix rack.
3. Power on the demo unit and make sure the Safe Off and E-Stop buttons are pulled out, and the
K300 Drive Power selector switch is set to ON.
The four character status indicator on the drive should be scrolling the IP address of the drive and
diS, which indicates the drive is disabled. This drives IP address is 192.168.1.35

Open the MotionView OnBoard Configuration Software

4. Open Internet Explorer by double-clicking on the desktop shortcut.
5. Enter in the IP Address of the Kinetix 300 drive and press Enter.

6. From the File Download window select Open.

13 of 51

7. Read the warning dialog window and answer YES, I have prompt.

The MotionView OnBoard Software window opens.

8. To attach to your drive, click Connect.

14 of 51

9. Enter the drives IP Address and click Connect.

TIP: You could also use the Discover option to locate drives on your subnet.

The software uploads the drive information.

15 of 51

10. After the software connects to the drive, click on the Drive Identification in the Drive Organizer to
see a system summary.

NOTE: The Drive Identification is labeled with the drive name, IP address and status. The system
summary displays valuable information such as firmware version, catalog number and serial number.
11. Reset the drive, to restore factory defaults to all drive parameters, by clicking the Restore Defaults
button at the top of the window. Click Yes to confirm your action and when the process is complete,
press OK to confirm the reset.
NOTE: The IP Address was not affected by the restore defaults.

Motor Selection
12. Move to the Motor branch in the Drive Organizer.

16 of 51

13. Lets look at the motor that is selected.

The motor that is in the demo unit is a TLY-A110P-BJ62AA. This motor has an absolute encoder
(multi-turn), so the drive communicates with the encoder to get the motor model number and
populates it for you.
This TLY motor employs a battery to maintain the absolute motor position, which is usually located in
the feedback low-profile connector. Because the demo does not contain a battery, a Battery Error is
indicated. This will not affect the motor operation, only the ability to maintain position if the motor
rotates more than one revolution without power.

NOTE: Allen-Bradley motors and actuators with intelligent feedback devices will automatically be
populated into the motor configuration. For Allen-Bradley motors and actuators with incremental
encoders, the device would need to be chosen from a listing of available motors.

Choosing the Operating Mode

The Kinetix 300 drive can operate in one of several modes which are shown below:

Auto Tune

EtherNet/IP External Reference

Master Gearing

Step and Direction

Analog Velocity Input

Analog Current Input

Indexing

This lab will focus on modes; Auto Tune, Indexing and EtherNet/IP External Reference.

17 of 51

14. Move to the General branch in the Drive Organizer.

15. Lets take a look at the General settings.

You can see that the Drive Mode is currently set to Auto Tune (this is the default mode after a restore
defaults is executed). This is the first operation that we will need to complete, and will be covered in
the next section.
16. Examine the drop down list to see the other available drive modes, however make sure not to change
the mode from Auto Tune.
17. Note the User Units setting. For this lab we will use the value of 1.000 Revolutions/Units.
This setting will allow the scaling of all other motion parameters in the drive to match your system
output units. For example, if you had a linear system where 2.5 revolutions of the motor equaled
1mm of travel on the output, you would enter 2.5 here.
NOTE: You cant change the name of the user units.
18. Leave all the other settings in this section at their default values.

Auto Tune the Drive for Indexing Mode

In this section of the lab, we will tune both the position loop and velocity loop of the drive. To tune the
drive, we will first need to enable the drive.
19. Move to the Digital IO branch in the Drive Organizer.
20. Scroll to the bottom of the list and from the drop-down list for Enable Switch Function choose Run.
The drive should now be enabled. You can verify this by checking either the main drive branch in the
Drive Organizer or the status indicator on the drive display. The A indicator will be lit orange.
Below is a listing of the other status indicators for reference.

18 of 51

21. Change the Enable Switch Action back to Inhibit.

Note: Since there is no enable switch on the demo unit (24vdc is directly applied to the enable input,
pins 26 and 29) it is necessary to control the input through software. Making the change back to
Inhibit will not immediately cause the drive to disable, but only on a transition of the physical input.
If the Enable Switch Action was left at Run, and the drive was power cycled it would immediately
enable. The drive could be disabled by sending a disable command via the red Stop/Reset button in
the top right of the MotionView software.
22. Move to the Dynamics branch in the Drive Organizer.
The Dynamics window displays the configuration of the dynamics (gain) parameters that you can
change.
23. Click the Autotuning button.
The Autotuning dialog displays.
24. Select the Position Tuning check box (Velocity Tuning is checked by default) and press Start.

19 of 51

In the next lab section we will be Indexing the drive, so we need to tune both the velocity and position
loops. The motor will make two short moves, which you should be able to hear, to tune both loops.
When it completes the gain values will display in a dialog window.
25. Accept the gain parameters by clicking Yes.

26. Click the red Stop/Reset button (in the top right corner of the java window) to disable the drive.

Command the Drive in Indexing Mode

27. Return to the General branch in the Drive Organizer and from the drop-down list change the Drive
Mode to Indexing.

20 of 51

28. Now move to the Indexing branch in the Drive Organizer.

29. Expand Index 00, and set it to make 4 sets of incremental moves, at 10 revs each. Set the other
parameters as shown below.

30. Now Enable the drive again by going to the Digital IO branch in the Drive Organizer and change the
Enable Switch Action to Run. Dont forget to change it back to Inhibit once the drive is enabled.
31. Navigate back to the Indexing branch of the Drive Organizer.
32. Click the Start Indexing button.
You should see the motor rotate per the index configuration. You will notice that there is no dwell (set
at 1 sec) between each of the 4 incremental moves. The dwell only executes between indexes not
within batches.
33. Modify the index as shown to see the effect of adding a dwell. (Remember to click Start Indexing
when ready)

21 of 51

34. Click the Abort Indexing button to stop motion.

Homing the Drive

35. Navigate to the Homing branch of the Drive Organizer.
36. Set the Homing parameters as shown.

22 of 51

37. For the Homing Method choose Marker Forward (ID 34) from the drop-down list.

38. Click the Start Homing button to initiate the homing sequence.
You should see the motor rotate until it finds the index marker on the encoder and then settle in. The
Homing Status should change from Not Homed to Homed. You can re-initiate the sequence again to
see the motor rotate.
NOTE: The motor in the demo unit has an absolute feedback encoder, but because there is no
battery to power the encoder on a power cycle, the motor is seen as an incremental device. That
means on a power cycle we would need to re-home again for absolute positioning.
39. If you click the Monitor branch of the Drive Organizer you have access to all the status information
within the drive.

40. Go back to the Indexing branch and configure an index to do an Absolute Position move and monitor
the status information. You may need to configure the Action to Stop if the move continuously
executes.

Lab 3: Adding a Kinetix 300 in RSLogix5000

In this lab, you will:

Open a RSLogix 5000 file and add and configure a Kinetix 300 drive

Examine the Input and Output Assembly tag structures
1. Open the file C:\Lab Files\K300_CMSS_LAB_3_START.ACD
2. Right-click on I/O Configuration > 1768 Bus > [2] 1768-ENBT/A ENBT in the Controller Organizer
and select New Module.

The Select Module dialog displays.

3. Expand the Drives group by clicking the [+].

4. Select the 2097-V31PR0 Kinetix 300 drive.

The New Module dialog displays.

5. Enter the Name and IP Address as shown. It is important that the name and address match exactly,
as there is logic we have already created for you. Click OK when you are finished.

24 of 51

6. Next, double-click the Controller Tags and navigate to the K300_N1 tags as shown.

7. Click the + beside the K300_N1:I, you will see all the attributes that have been created by the Kinetix
300s AOP (Add on Profile) this is the input image, or the values that are sent from the drive to the
controller every RPI scan. A few of the more used tags include, Actual Position, Actual Velocity,
Motor Current (Torque), and Position Error.
8. Click the + beside the K300_N1:O, you will see all the attributes that have been created by the
Kinetix 300s AOP(Add On Profile) this is the output image, or the values that the controller sends
to the drive every RPI scan. A few of the more used tags include, DriveEn and the various mode
configuration settings that will be explained in the next lab.

25 of 51

Lab 4: Configure and Run the Kinetix 300 in Ethernet I/P Mode
In this lab, you will:

Use the open RSLogix 5000 file and download it to the controller and observe logic running

Examine the logic and understand how it executes for the Ethernet IP mode

Download the Program and Monitor the Kinetix 300 Drive

1. Important: Connect the Ethernet cable going into the Ethernet module on the Compact
GuardLogix rack.
With the RSLogix 5000 program from the previous lab still open, we will now download the .ACD
file to the controller.
2. Click the Communications menu item and select Who Active.
3. From the dialog navigate to the controller (IP Address 192.168.1.36, slot 0) and click the
Download button.

4. When the download warning dialog displays, click the Download button to download the .acd file
to the controller.
5. Change the controller to Run Mode.

26 of 51

6. Double-Click on the Controller tags again, and you will see now some of the AOP values are now
populated with information as we are now online with the drive. For example, the axis should
have a position value in the ActualPosition tag.

Important: If your Kinetix 300 drive has a yellow ! mark next to it, verify the IP address and the
Drive model number. If something is not correct, delete the existing drive and repeat the steps in Lab
Important: RESETTING DRIVE FAULTS. If the Kinetix 300 drive has an E code (drive fault) on the
front display, you can clear this by toggling the rotary switch DI1/DO3 ON then OFF again.
7. Start the automated sequence by pushing the Green round button (DI0/DO1) on the demo.
This will start the run sequencer (Note: make sure the rotary switch DI1/DO3 is OFF).
8. To end the sequence, turn Rotary switch DI1/DO3 ON.
This switch is used to clear faults on the drive and to stop the sequence.

27 of 51

9. Double-click on the R5_EnetIP_ExRef_Mode subroutine to open it.

Explanation of the Logic

Rung 1: Starts the sequence (pushing the Green button DI0/DO1). The sequence will only start if
there are no faults on the drive
Rung 2: Sets the correct drive mode of operation. In this case, Mode 1 corresponds to
EtherNet/IP External Reference. This is done via an Explicit Message instruction to a
parameter location in the K300 drive.
Drive Mode of the General tab in MotionView.

Rung 3: Sets the .ReferenceSource to two (2). In this case (as you can see from the rung
comment), we are doing an Incremental Position motion profile.
Rung 4: Set the parameters for the incremental position move, we set the Distance of the index,
the velocity of the index, and Acceleration/Deceleration limits
Note: Notice that the MOV instruction moves the local value into the Output tag of the drive
(K300_N1:O.CommandPosition, for example). This is how we configure the parameters of
the drive via the Add-On Profile.
Rung 5: Enables the drive. Again, this is all done by writing to the Output tag of the AOP.
Rung 6: Starts executing the first motion profile.

28 of 51

Rung 8: When the first motion profile is finished, the program will dwell for 500ms and load the
second motion profile values.
Rung 9: Starts executing the second motion profile.
Rung 10 & 11: When the second motion Profile is complete, the program will dwell for 500ms and
start the first profile again.
10. Modify the value for the Motion Profile 1 Distance by changing Command Position from 20 to
30.
Note: If a negative value for CommandPosition is entered, this will cause the motor to travel in
the reverse direction.

11. Repeat the above step for the Velocity (Must be Positive), Acceleration and Deceleration (Must
be > 0). Choose your own values for these parameters.
12. Run the new motion profile.
13. Close the RSLogix 5000 program when you are done.

29 of 51

Lab 5: Configure and Run the Kinetix 300 in Indexing Mode

In this lab, you will:

Use a new RSLogix 5000 file, make some modifications that use an Indexing AOI (Add-On
Instruction).

Sequence between two indexes, with a delay in between each.

Download the Program and Execute an Index Profile

1. Open the file, C:\Lab Files\K300_CMSS_LAB_5_START.ACD
2. Click the Communications menu item and select Who Active.
3. From the dialog navigate to the controller (IP Address 192.168.1.36, slot 0) and click the
Download button.

4. When the download warning dialog displays, click the Download button to download the .acd file
to the controller.
5. Change the controller to Run Mode.

30 of 51

6. Double-click on the R6_Index_Mode subroutine to open it.

Notice how the logic is very similar to that of the previous lab.
A tag named IndexMode (rung 1) will allow us to change modes of operation in the drive.

If IndexMode is 0, the Kinetix 300 is in Ethernet/IP External Reference mode

If IndexMode is 1, the Kinetix 300 is in Indexing mode

7. Toggle the IndexMode bit so its active (ON).

8. Press and release the Green button (DI0/DO1) as in the previous lab to initiate the index.
The index will repeat if you press the button again.
Note: To stop this sequence, turn the Red rotary switch DI1/DO3, ON then OFF.
Also, notice on rung 4 that the code uses an Indexing AOI (Add On Instruction) created to
configure the index. The AOI takes all the parameters of an index and writes them down to the
Kinetix 300 drives Index Assembly object.

31 of 51

Explanation of Indexing AOI

K300_IndexConfig: a tag of type K300IndexConfig, this tag is created upon the import of the rung and
provides the status bits, EN,DN,ER and the holding location for move parameters you can enter for the
Index. When the instruction enables, the EN bit is set, if the configuration is valid and completes
successfully, the DN bit is set, and if the instruction errors because of an invalid parameter or something
else, the ER bit is set
OutputValues: a tag of type UDT_K300_Index, this is also created upon import and provides a place for
you to auto load the index parameters from an array or other mechanism to load multiple indexes with
one instruction. If you decide to use one AOI per index, as shown in this example, then your Output
values is no more than a Place Holder for your index information, hence the tag name PlaceHolderIndex0
Set_IndexNumber: This is where you enter the index you would like to configure, valid entries are 0-31
IndexDistance: The distance of the index, in engineering units(i.e.: revs, mm, whatever the drive is
configured for), this value can be or + sense to designate direction of the index
IndexSpeed: The speed of the index also in engineering units, this value is + only, a zero or negative
value will result in an error
Index Accel: The acceleration rate for the index in engineering units, this value is + only, a zero or
negative value will result in an error

32 of 51

Index Decel: The deceleration rate for the index in engineering units. This value is positive and a zero
(0) or negative value will result in an error.
Index Batch: The number of times to repeat the index. A zero (0) or 1 indicates to execute the index
once.
Index Type: 0=Absolute, 1=Incremental, 2=RegistrationAbsolute, 3=RegistrationIncremental,
4=Stitched. Any other value will result in an error.
IndexMoveType: 0=Trapezoidal profile, 1=S-Curve profile.
IndexNextIndex: The next index to perform upon completion of current index. Valid entries are 0-31.
IndexNextAction: The next Action to perform upon completion of this index, 0-Stop motion and hold
zero velocity,1- Wait for Start Index Command over EtherNet,2 - Start Next without Stopping (dwell time is
used).
IndexRegistrationDistance: If the Registration Input is configured, once asserted, the index will perform
either an additional Incremental motion of the Distance here, or if Absolute Registration is selected, will
move to an Absolute Position.
IndexDwell: Time to dwell at completion of the index.
IndexMSG: A tag of type MESSAGE, is also created and populated properly for you upon import of the
AOI (including the comms path), this MSG will write the entire Index Assembly Object (ID 115).

Add Another Index

Follow the steps below to add a second index, to execute after the index already in the program code
(Index 0).
1. Take the project Offline, by clicking RemRun > Go Offline.

Change the three (3) references to Index0, to Index1 by editing the tag changing the 0 to a 1.
This is the new index that we will be creating.

The changed references should look like this:

6. Click OK to finalize the import. The new rung is imported below Rung 4 (new Rung 5).
7. More changes to the logic are required for the sequence to execute correctly. Modify the rungs
as shown below.

8. After making the code changes, check that there are no errors by clicking on the Verify
Controller button.

9. If there are no errors to correct, Download the file to the controller.

10. Change the controller to back to Run Mode.
11. If you have any faults on your drive (E code on the drive display), turn the Red rotary switch
(DI1/DO3) ON then OFF to reset the drive.
12. Press the Green (DI0/DO1) button. This will start the sequence running and your 2 indexes
should be executing with a delay between them.
Note: If your sequence is not running at this point, you can open C:\Lab
Files\K300_CMSS_LAB_5_FINAL.ACD and repeat Steps 8 to 12.

Lab 6: Create a Blended Index

In this lab, you will:

Use the existing RSLogix 5000 program and modify it so the 2 indexes represent 1 Blended move

Look at the trend to observe how Blending is functioning

Explanation of a Blended (or Stitched) Index

If the indexing configuration Type is set to Blended, the acceleration and deceleration parameters are not
programmable. Instead, they are calculated internally by the drive based on distance and velocity
between the two points of the move. The index table contains the position and velocities necessary to
assemble the profile.

IMPORTANT

The full profile is assembled by stitching together a sequence of positions and velocities
rather than complete move operations.

1. Open the lab named C:\Lab Files\K300_CMSS_LAB_5_FINAL.ACD

Note: This file is the same as in the previously completed Lab 5.

2. Make the following changes to the Indexing AOIs in the R6_Index_Mode subroutine.
Rung 4: Change IndexType to a value of 4 (Blended Index).

Rung 5: Change the following; IndexSpeed = 0, IndexDistance = 20, and IndexType = 4.

41 of 51

3. Download the program to the controller.

4. Make sure the controller is in Run Mode.
5. Make sure the IndexMode bit is ON (Rung 1).
6. The same rules from previous labs apply (i.e. Green button starts the sequence, the Red toggle
switch stops the sequence)
7. The sequence should be running the newly created blended index.
8. Expand the Trend folder in the Controller Organizer and double-click on the Kinetix300 trend to
open it.

9. Click Run in the trend window

Notice the blended index has the first index stitched to the second index (the yellow pen
represents the ActualVelocity tag) to create a single index.
Also, the Accel / Decel portions of the index are calculated for you by the drive.
10. You can close the program when you are complete.

Lab 7: Demonstrating the Safe Off feature of the Kinetix 300 Drive

About this lab

This lab will demonstrate the use of the Kinetix 300 Safe Off input used in the Safety Task of the 1769L43S Processor.

Wire up the safe-off connection to the Kinetix 300 to the Logix Controller

Understand the program to allow the Safe Off inputs to work properly

Understanding the Kinetix 300 Drive Safe Torque-off Feature

The safe torque-off circuit, when used with suitable safety components, provides protection according to
ISO 13849-1 Safety Category 3. The safe torque-off option is just one safety control system. All
components in the system must be chosen and applied correctly to achieve the desired level of operator
safeguarding. The safe torque-off circuit is designed to safely remove power from the gate firing circuits
of the drives output power devices (IGBTs). This prevents them from switching in the pattern necessary
to generate AC power to the motor. You can use the safe torque-off circuit in combination with other
safety devices to meet the stop and protection-against-restart requirements of ISO 13849-1.
The safe torque-off feature provides a method, with sufficiently low probability of failure on demand, to
force the power-transistor control signals to a disabled state. When disabled, or any time power is
removed from the safety enable inputs, all of the drives output-power transistors are released from the
ON state, effectively removing motive power generated by the drive. This results in a condition where the
motor is in a coasting condition (stop category 0). Disabling the power transistor output does not provide
mechanical isolation of the electrical output, which may be required for some applications. Under normal
drive operation, the safe torque-off switches are energized. If either of the safety enable inputs are deenergized, the gate control circuit is disabled. To meet ISO 13849-1 safety category 3 both safety
channels must be used and monitored.

Wiring the Kinetix 300 to Use the Safe Off Function

1. Power off the demo unit by clicking the Main Power button OFF.

IMPORTANT: This demo unit processor contains a flash card with logic files that are designed to
download on a power cycle (demo unit power OFF/ON). WHEN YOU NEED TO CYCLE THE DEMO
POWER, YOU WILL NEED TO DOWNLOAD YOUR LAB PROGRAM (.ACD file) TO OVERWRITE THE
FLASH CARD LOGIC FILE!

2. The Safe Off feature of the drive is currently disabled from the first lab. Now, re-wire the Safe Off
switch per the diagram below.

3. Open the RSLogix 5000 program C:\Lab Files\K300_CMSS_LAB_7_SAFEOFF.ACD.

4. Power On the demo box.
5. Download the file to the controller.
6. Change the controller to Run Mode.
Note: There may be an Error code on your drive, this is ok.

Explanation of Safe-Off Function on Demo Box

This lab demonstrates the use of the 1734 Safety Point I/O modules to control the Safe Off input to the
Kinetix 300. This lab uses the Red E-Stop Mushroom button, which is internally wired to the 1734-IB8S
Safety Input Module. The Safety Program in the Logix controller is used to detect when the E-Stop is
pulled out. The Logix program then energizes Safety Outputs on the 1734-OB8S that were hard wired

44 of 51

per the diagram at the start of this lab.

Note: There is a Red Mushroom Safe-Off button on this demo unit. It is currently is wired to use the
MSR57P smart safety relay to monitor safe speed condition. We do not use this button for this lab.

7. Double-click on the MainRoutine in the SafetyTask to open it.

8. There are two rungs of logic that were added to manage the Safe-Off feature.

Rung 0: Built in E-Stop function which is tied to Point I/O Safety Input module points 02 and
03. When those two points are OK (i.e. E-Stop is pulled out), the instruction energizes the
Instructions Output bit which is used in Rung 1.
Rung 1: When the E-Stop is OK, output points 00 and 01 are energized on the 1734-OB8S
module. These are the redundant I/O points that are wired to the Kinetix 300 drive Safe Off
Input.
9. Make sure the IndexMode bit in R6_Index_Mode subroutine is ON (Rung 1).
10. The Safe Off function can be demonstrated by:
a. Run the index sequence by pushing the Green button (DI1/DO3).
b. Press the E-Stop button on the demo box.
This will stop the sequence from running and fault (E39) the drive (Safe Off is Active).
c.

To reset, pull out the E-Stop button and clear any faults by toggling the Red switch
(DI0/D01) ON then OFF.
