Drive in RSLogix 5000

[cavayiro 1]

Hello everyone,

this my project : We have a drive (Altivr61) which command Motor with 4 zones (6 machines in every zone) . They demand from me to automatise the system by forcing the altivar to start with the machine which produces more garbage. I started and I created a list of inputs/ouputs , and I used Grafcet graph for describing the cycles by a succession of steps and transisons, actions. But, my big problem is that i don't know how to automatisate this drive (Altivar61) ? how to force it to choose a specific machine ?
knowing that i will do supervision via FactoryTalk view .. i have to use Ethernet/IP ?
Can you help me ? I have to use RSlogix 5000

When developing a new application, when you are not 100% crystal clear on how the code will execute...flowchart the application.  A well developed flowchart can be converted into a working PLC program in short time.

Your next hurdle is the Schneider Altivar VFD; this is the Allen-Bradley forum.

Hello everyone,
let's explain my project step by step :
1)a drive (Altivar61) control one motor
2) this motor aspirate garbages from all machines
3) the responsible make decision to  increment/decrement freqency in Altivar61 by knowing the numbers of machines that work (manually operation every 2/3 hours).
here we will lost a lot of energy, so, my best solution until now is to put a pressure sensor for every machine (and fix it value) and we caculate the total pressure of all machines (work ones) and connect this pressure to PLC (Allen-Bradley), so the PLC control the Altivar61 (via inputs).
the problem is that I want create a project in RSLogix 5000 but i didn't know how can I add an Altivar61 ? and how to connect it to PLC ? and for supervision, i will use FactoryTalk view (so the responsible can check the process if it work correctly or not from his desk and he can also change ATV61 frequency) , but the altivar61 communicate via ethernet/IP , how to make a relation between factorytalk and ethenet/Ip or it exists before ?! or can i use another type of communication for this drive ?
So, if somone have another solution for this problem, or response to my questions I will appreciate it.
Thank you all

Correct some expressions

You can contact Schneider Electric and see if they have an Add On Instruction for that drive.
