This application note details how to import and configure the ABB Generic Drive Interface (GDI) Add-on Instructions (AOI) using RSLogix 5000TM version 19 (or later). The same principles can be applied for users of Logix Designer running under Studio 5000 ® so if using this later version of the Rockwell software please assume Logix Designer wherever RSLogix5000 is mentioned.
These AOI provide pre-written data structures and function blocks that integrate seamlessly with the Mint based GDI and allow suitable Allen Bradley PLCs to control ABB drives running Mint programs that support Ethernet/IP (MicroFlex e150/e190 and MotiFlex e180). Note that MicroFlex e190 and MotiFlex e180 drives must be provided with the Mint memory card (option code +N8020).
