Preface
About This Publication
This quick start provides examples and procedures for including PowerFlex®70 drives in a
Logix5000controllers control system over a DeviceNet network. The programming examples
are not complex, and offer easy solutions to verify that devices are functioning and
communicating properly.
Before Using This Publication
You can only complete the tasks described in this publication after first completing some
prerequisite tasks with a Logix5000 controller. For example, before you can add a PowerFlex 70
drives to an RSLogix5000 project, as described in Chapter 3, you must first create the project.
For more information on how to complete these tasks with specific Logix5000 controllers, see
the Integrated Architecture: Logix5000 Control Systems Quick Starts Quick Reference,
publication IASIMP-QR024.
IMPORTANT
This publication describes example tasks you complete when using PowerFlex 70 drives on a DeviceNet network. The
tasks described are not the only tasks you can complete with the PowerFlex 70 Drives on a DeviceNet network. You will
likely need to complete additional tasks when using PowerFlex 70 drives in specific Logix5000 control systems.
For more information on how to use the all of the PowerFlex 70 drives’ functionality in specific Logix5000 control
system, see Additional Resources on page 11.
IMPORTANT
Consider the following before using this publication:
•Multiple Logix5000 controllers support the use of a DeviceNet network. The specific hardware used and software
configuration parameter settings vary by Logix5000 controller. This quick starts describes how to use PowerFlex 70
drives over a DeviceNet network in a CompactLogix5370 L3 control system.
The example graphics shown in Table 1 - Required Tasks to Complete before Using This Quick Start on page 6 are for
CompactLogix 5370 L3 controllers. Depending on the Logix5000 controller you are using, the specific steps to
complete the tasks described in the table might vary.
•The tasks described in this publication are written with the assumption that you have already installed the
CompactLogix 5370 L3 control system and it is powered.

Task Description
PreparetheLogix5000
control system
hardware
Assembling the control system and connecting to the DeviceNet network. At minimum, your system must
include a controller, DeviceNet scanner module to access the DeviceNet network and the components required
to install a DeviceNet network. For example, you need an external power source to power a DeviceNet network.
For example purposes, this quick start describes how to use a CompactLogix 5370 L3 controller with a 1769-SDN
scanner module. Your computer accesses the controller via an EtherNet/IP network. The tasks described in
Chapter 2 and Chapter 3 are done so with CompactLogix 5370 L3 controller and 1769-SDN scanner module.
We recommend that you use those components to complete the steps described. If you use a different
Logix5000 controller and DeviceNet scanner module, you can complete the tasks in these chapters but you must
account for any hardware differences.
For more information on installing a DeviceNet network, see the DeviceNet Media Design and Installation Guide,
publication DNET-UM072.
This task does not include installation of remote hardware components, for example, PowerFlex 70 drives,
used over the network included in your application.

Preface
Configure the network Completing tasks associated with configuring the DeviceNet network with RSNetWorxfor DeviceNet software,
such as setting the node address for the DeviceNet scanner module your controller uses to access the DeviceNet
network.
This quick start uses a CompactLogix 5370 L3 controller with a 1769-SDN scanner module, and the tasks
described in Chapter 2 and Chapter 3 are done so with that controller and scanner module. We recommend that
you use those components and corresponding software files with this quick start.
If you use a different Logix5000 controller and DeviceNet scanner module and corresponding DeviceNet network
software files, you can complete the tasks in Chapter 2 and Chapter 3 but you must account for any software
differences.

RSLogix 5000 project
Creating a project used with your Logix5000 controller that includes all required control system components.
Your project must include the DeviceNet scanner module used by your controller to access the DeviceNet
network.
This quick start uses a CompactLogix 5370 L3 controller with a 1769-SDN scanner module, and the tasks
described in Chapter 2 and Chapter 3 are done so for that controller and scanner module. We recommend that
you use those components with this quick start.
If you use a different Logix5000 controller and DeviceNet scanner module and corresponding RSLogix 5000

Preface
Other Logix5000 Control System Quick Starts
This quick start describes how to use a single component-type over a single network in a
Logix5000 control system. Typically, though, a Logix5000 control system includes more than
the controller, communication module, and a single component over a single network.
For example, if a Logix5000 control system operates on a DeviceNet network, the system might
use remote I/O modules, HMI devices, and drives in addition to the controller and
communication modules.
For a complete list of Logix5000 control system quick starts that describe how to use other
devices in Logix5000 control systems, see the Integrated Architecture: Logix 5000 Control
Systems Quick Starts Quick Reference, publication IASIMP-QR024.
The beginning of each chapter contains the following information. Read these sections before
beginning work in each chapter:
•Before You Begin - This section lists the tasks you must complete before starting the
chapter.
•What You Need - This section lists the tools that are required to complete the tasks in the
current chapter. This includes, but is not limited to, hardware and software.
•Follow These Steps - This section illustrates the steps in the current chapter.
