Project

The course project

Optional practice that ends in the kind of job the course prepares you for, with the documents that go with it.

About 24 hours

Corrugator flying-knife cut-to-length: Kinetix 5700 two-axis retrofit with MAPC camming, registration and Safe Stop 1

Design, size, program, tune and document a two-axis Kinetix 5700 retrofit of the rotary cut-off knife on a corrugated-board line: a knife axis position-cammed to the web with a profile that is synchronous through the cut and recalculated online when the sheet length changes, a draw-roll axis geared to the web with overdraw, a CIP Motion encoder as master, registration for pre-printed liner, and integrated STO and SS1 on the drives. You deliver the Logix project with the cam arithmetic, your own axis list and drive parameter record, and the tuning report. The sample pack shows what a motion integrator hands a plant.

Sample document pack, 8 documents, filled in for the scenario

Tools

Software, hardware and lessons

Software

Studio 5000 Logix Designer (paid; no public trial, so use a work or college licence) with Studio 5000 Logix Emulate or FactoryTalk Logix Echo (30-day trial on request) for virtual axes

Hardware

None required. A Kinetix 5500 or 5300 with one motor makes the hardware modules real.

Who it is for

Intermediate. The free servo and motion course and the Studio 5000 course are the prerequisites.

FAQ

Common questions

How is this different from the servo and motion course?

That course introduces servos across brands; this one goes deep on Rockwell Kinetix: cams, registration, Sercos, firmware and diagnostics.

Do I need a drive?

No. Virtual axes in Logix Emulate or Logix Echo run every exercise except the hardware module, which is demonstrated on video. Both need a licensed Studio 5000 Logix Designer, which Rockwell sells without a public trial; every practice task also has a worked problem you can do on paper.

Is the Kinetix 6000 still relevant?

Yes. Rockwell stopped selling it in December 2023, but thousands run in Indian packaging plants and on machines worldwide, and the troubleshooting skills transfer to the 5500 and 5700.

Is the Allen-Bradley Kinetix Servo Motion with Studio 5000 course really free?

Yes. Every module, practice task and assessment. You create an account so your progress is saved and the assessments can be marked. The certificate is the only paid item, and only if you want it.

What certificate do I get, and is it a vendor qualification?

An EDWartens Certificate of Completion, issued when you pass the final assessment, with a verification code anyone can check. It is not a vendor credential and is never described as one.

Who made the video lessons in the Allen-Bradley Kinetix Servo Motion with Studio 5000 course?

The creators named in the Credits block at the foot of this page, on their own YouTube channels. EDWartens did not make the videos and the creators are not affiliated with EDWartens. What EDWartens wrote is the study plan, the notes, the practice tasks and the assessments.

How long does the Allen-Bradley Kinetix Servo Motion with Studio 5000 course take?

Plan on about 23 hours in all, including the video lessons, notes and practice tasks. It is self-paced, so you work through the twelve modules at your own speed.

Is the Allen-Bradley Kinetix Servo Motion with Studio 5000 course free in India, and what does the certificate cost?

Yes. Learning costs ₹0 in India: every module, the written notes, the practice tasks and the final assessment, with no card and no trial period. The only paid item is the optional EDWartens Certificate of Completion, ₹599 including GST for this intermediate course, paid in rupees through Razorpay, and only if you want it after passing the final assessment.

Is there classroom motion control training in India as well?

Yes. EDWartens India runs the Automation Engineer Program (AEP), a classroom programme at its Electronic City centre in Bangalore. The Automation Engineer Program (AEP) covers VFDs and drives alongside PLC programming, taught in person at our Electronic City centre. This free course is separate and fully online; it is a good way to try the subject before deciding on classroom training. Details are at edwartens.co.in/vfd-drives-training-bangalore, and the programme itself at edwartens.co.in/courses/aep.
