Assemblies
- What assemblies are you working with?
- Drive should be setup for proper assemblies to match PLC
- Assemblies must be configured using SoMove ONLY.
- To download SoMove
- Compatible assemblies with the Process Drive are listed below:
- Communication Scanner Assemblies (Default)
- 100 and 101
- (Input and Output Assemblies)
- Works with IO Profile.
- 100 and 101
- ​Other Drive Assemblies
- 20: Basic speed control output
- 21: Extended speed control output
- 70: Basic speed control input
- 71: Extended speed control input
- When using assemblies 21 and 71 you must follow exact settings in the Command and Reference Menu or else EPF2 fault will appear on the drive
103 and 104 - Allen Bradley Assemblies are not available on the Process Drive. - Do not work with IO Profile.
- When using assemblies 21 and 71 you must follow exact settings in the Command and Reference Menu or else EPF2 fault will appear on the drive
- Communication Scanner Assemblies (Default)
- Once assemblies are configured correctly in PLC then proceed with drive settings.
- Assemblies must be configured using SoMove ONLY.
Basic Settings
- Programming on the Drive
- Program Communication Settings:
- [Communication] [Comm Parameters] [Eth Module Config]
- IP Assignment Mode
- Set to Fixed
- IP Address
- Subnet Mask
- Gateway Address
- IP Assignment Mode
- [Communication] [Comm Parameters] [Eth Module Config]
- Program Command Settings:
- [Complete settings] [Command and Reference]
- ​For command speed from Network, program:
- [Ref Freq 1 Config] Fr1 - Set to [Com. Module] nEt (for ATV900 Set to [Embedded
Ethernet] Eth) - [Ref 1B switching] rCb - Set to [Ref Freq Channel 1] Fr1
- [Control Mode] CHCF - Set to [Not separ.] SIM
- [Ref Freq 1 Config] Fr1 - Set to [Com. Module] nEt (for ATV900 Set to [Embedded
- ​​Video: Setting an Auto/Manual or Reference Switching on the Altivar Process Drives
- ​For command speed from Network, program:
- [Complete settings] [Command and Reference]
- Powercycle the drive
​- Programming on SoMove
- [Parameters List] [Fieldbus] [Slot A - Modbus TCP/EthernetIP]
- Configure Ethernet Protocol
- Set to Ethernet/IP
- Configure drive for correct assemblies
- ​Configure Drive Input/Output Data tables
- Configure Ethernet Protocol
- Communicate with the Drive
- Sending a command to the drive
- Using IO Profile
- Only works with Assemblies 100 and 101
- [Complete Settings] [Command and Reference] [Control Mode] - Set to IO
- Command Word - Register 8501
Speed Reference Word - Registers 8502 (Hz) and 8602 (rpm) - 16 bit word (Bit 0, 1, 2..... 15)
- Start/Stop must turn on bit 0
- Write a 1 to start
- Write a 0 to stop
- Bit 1 to 15 are assignable like logic inputs
- Example: To assign a fault reset to bit 2 - [Fault reset] - Set to C302 (Reference Programming manual for more details)
- Using CIA402 (DriveCom Profile)
- Works with other assemblies
- [Complete Settings] [Command and Reference] [Control Mode] to [Not separ.] or [Separate]
- Command Word - 8501
Speed Reference Word - 8502 (Hz) and 8602 (rpm) - No 16 bit word
- Start/Stop
- Sequence of values must be written to the drive
- 6, 7 and 15
- Toggle between 7 and 15 to start and stop
