Integrating the inverter into an EtherNet/IP™ network

The following device topology is used in the example:

  • Higher-level Allen-Bradley controller ControlLogix® 1756-L71
  • MOVIDRIVE® technology MDX9.. application inverter
  • USM21A interface adapter

For configuration and startup of the devices, the following tools are used:

  • MOVISUITE® for inverters from SEW‑EURODRIVE
  • Studio 5000 Logix Designer from Rockwell Automation for the PLC

The application inverter is integrated into the EtherNet/IP™ network in several process steps:
