Note: You must have a CompactLogix PLC to use these add-on instructions. Additionally, if you are using a firmware version 1.00 legacy servo drive, the AOIs have since been modernized and will not work with your servo drive. Please consult the K5100 User Manual to find the legacy AOIs.

First, Navigate back to the PCDC. This time, enter "Power Device Library" in the Search PCDC 
window. Make sure to download the latest version.
