Ultra 5000 to Panelview using direct DF-1 connection

[NCLefty]

I'm interested in using a Allen Bradley Panelview operator interface to control a AB Ultra 5000 servo drive. The Ultra 5000 sales brochure shows this as possible, but I can find no mention of it in the reference manuals for the drive or the programming software (Ultraware).

I've used Panelview interfaces before with 1394 drives via DH-485, so I am familiar with, in general, how this works. I can't believe I can find no documentation on this. I must be missing something.

Does anyone have experience with this?

Hi NCLefty,

Thank you for using National Instruments forums.  Is there any NI hardware involved with this system?  Perhaps using one of our controllers?  At the moment, I would definitely recommend contacting the manufactuer for this specific information.

Let me know if there is anything I can do to help.

Hey Justin,

Nope, there's no NI equipment used here - just hoping there's someone on this board that might have some experience with Ultra 5000 and Panelview. Unfortunately, I do not have access to Rockwell Tech support...
