To link the 20-HMI-A3 with the PowerFlex 525 drive, you'll want to use the RSLogix 5000 software to configure them first. After you have the processor set up, you should add the 525-drive on your Ethernet network. Ensure that the IP addresses are configured correctly. Once you've done this, link your HMI screen to the drive via tags in FactoryTalk View Studio, ensuring all the relevant operational tags are correctly linked. As always, remember to save and download your configuration to the device. You should see communication if everything is performed correctly.

To link the 20-HMI-A3 to the PowerFlex 525 drive, you'll need to use the RSLogix 5000 software. Start by establishing a communication path. Then you can use the tag browser in RSLogix to map tags between the HMI and PowerFlex. Remember, correct IP configuration is crucial for successful linking. Don't forget to save and download your program to the PLC when you're done. If anything goes wrong, just retrace your steps.
